I'd like to see his specs. I mulling over buying a new and most likely the last PC. Mine present one lasted 4 years. Not bad.

He has bought WOFF and the Extension but had not installed it as he had some trouble with his 27" screen. He now has one of those new fancy screens - VSYNC or something like that so will be joining in. He talks of 100fps so must have a mega card in there.

I found his tel no in an old PM on CombatAce - he was not aware that most of the WOFF stuff is over here.


My guess is that would maybe be a G-Sync monitor. The video card controls the refresh rate of the monitor, eliminating screen tearing and micro-stutters caused by frame rates being higher than the refresh rate. I would be interested to see what card he has too and what settings he uses for WOFF V2 once it's all set up. I'm always looking to improve.

Terrific to read of WOFF's most well deserved inclusion in that compilation.

Great recognition to OBD, for a labor of love that turned out to be as great a sim as WOFF has become.

Spot on.

Let's hope that OBD get a bit of a sales spike from this. It would be richly deserved.

I agree about nats about the list--never even heard of half of these supposedly "best" games. But I also understand how WOFF's inclusion in any list like that is a great thing, so congratulations!

Now, here's hoping my CFS3 DVD *finally* arrives today so I can get the damn thing back in my computer! I need to do some, ah, sight-seeing in my Gotha.

I know and have played 90% of the games there, and I have always thought about these kind of top 20 lists as eye-catcher for the gaming community, opinion by the authors , they don´t intend to be the bible. But you know, they attract lots of readers, and that´s why they are written and published. In this Best 20 Wargames, what I find odd is that it actually mixes wargames (tactical, grand strategy, operational, turn based, RTS, casual or grognard) with flight sims. So, the results are not very coherent. I actually like most of the games listed (specially WOFF, by the way, it´s on his own league... ), but...Ace Patrol by Sid Meier?? Really? biggrin

Great to have you inside the list OBD, you fully deserve it. Even if you are considered as a wargame company now wink

I just wish sometimes they would be a bit more imaginative in their lists of the best... instead of just picking the obvious games that are still played today. It would be good to see them do some stories (instead of the usual FPS, RTS babble) on less known about games like WOFF, EAW, and perhaps the rise in old games appearing on Steam like F19 Stealth Fighter or old recently remastered games like Lords of Midnight and Homeworld. There is so much good stuff around now being made by smaller companies, and its not getting any publicity because the media dwells on the same AAA candidates day in day out.

But I do still like this list (even though its stupid!), because it is a good way of seeing wargames you might not know about or have forgotten about. And any feature about wargames or flight sims is good these days, lets face it.

Interestingly talking about old wargames I noticed Steel Armor: Blaze of War on Steam a few days ago, which looks and feels a lot like the old M1 Tank Platoon, which is another old game I loved. Got to love some of the indie stuff being done today!

only just read this, it's so cool, and congrats to OBD.
When I was in High School, I would go down to the local newsagent once a month and buy it. With my Rof score too, that's 2 titles in the top 20, awesome.

It's a reflection of just how creative and talented OBD are, the fact that this is a mod; a MOD, and it's recognised by a reputable industry publication, is incredible. I'm so grateful to have been allowed to be involved.

Well, definitely deserved, Mat - your scores are among the finest I ever heard in games or sims.
