HCE is a bit better, but they have also pretty much given up fixing bugs and just sit around complaining why no one wants to help them. The overall level of function is probably higher in HCE than in ANW/HUE.

I wish some other company would take over Harpoon development who will actually do it justice. "Command" looks like it's going to be a shoe-in for the next Harpoon if everything works right. It already is surpassing what "Harpoon 4" was supposed to have been before AGSI canceled development on it. It might be nice if AGSI devoted some development time to creating a new engine that uses the latest Harpoon rules set that isn't so full of bugs.

Who knows what that game will be like. They make a lot of claims, but there's no way to know since it isn't publicly available. At least Harpoon is out there for anyone to check, bugs and all.

That's just another excuse. If you don't have the resources to do it properly, better to not do anything at all. They took the money and now won't deliver a functional product. This is the same thing that has happened with NWAC. That game is half-assed, too.

You would think that their military customers would be stomping on them.

I doubt that their military customers have much use for them. However, if all they want is a program to track a few units moving around a map, then the game is fine for that purpose. If they actually want an intelligent AI, then they are probably looking elsewhere.
