A pretty in-depth review over at The Wargamer by Bill Trotter. Very positive review indeed. Congratulations...again!

"THE NICEST GIFT FROM FRANCE SINCE…THE STATUE OF LIBERTY?"

I could not agree more.

Outstanding review! And well deserved.

Not bad at all; you guys must really have opened up your wallets for this guy!

(Just kidding, it is praise well deserved, and more so with every new patch that comes out )

If he was paid, it was by the word...

Actually, it appears that this text is a draft. I'm not sure it's received the Wargamer Editor's approval and if Will Trotter would be pleased to see his work prematurely disclosed.

The article is not yet on the Wargamer front page as new review but you can access it via 'Articles' --> 'PC Games Reviews' so I think it is the final version.

Edit: Strangely the publication date of the review is 2007-06-22, so maybe some mistake after all that is appears on the Wargamers site?

Well I hope I have not caused any trouble

I was searching for a review of another game (COTA) and saw this AACW review at the top of the article search page...did not realise was not available to read.

Hartford, if anyone has made any mistake here, it surely isn't you

IMHO, as long as the review is available on the Wargamer's site (it still is, BTW), they can't be surprised that people find it and read it. However, given the publication date, it might be good to leave it alone, so as to not provoke any negavtive reaction towards Will Trotter (should it turn out to be something wrong he did), seeing as he has written a pretty favourable review of the game, nor towards Ageod (though I can't possibly see how they can be held accountable in any way for this glitch)

My 2 cents

No need to search for reviews of COTA, they say all the same: It is excellent.
(I have it too, but actually never the time to go past the tutorials... leure: )

The only thing which will overshadow COTA's excellence is BFTB's excellence.

There is a link to it from the Wargamer's front page so they must know it's online.

EDIT: And now it's gone. The link there now is to the discussion (or more accurately the argument from the FoF people) about it. It is still the top link on the PC games review page.

Don't be concerned about it. It's a technical issue that occurs from time-to-time and measures are being taken to prevent it from happening again. I should stress that the article is a working draft and it's unfortunate that some people have treated it as though it was a finished product, even though it was pointed out that this was not the case. The completed review will be released soon - and probably to much less fanfare! ouet:

Wow.

A cool review is there is ever one !
