Comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.war-historical is full of glowing reviews of the demo, as well. This commitment to quality is very apparent in the demo. The most striking feature of the game is its use of a 3-D environment. Another aspect of the game which immediately strikes the player is the absence of hexes. All distances and sight lines are determined pixel by pixel.
Game turns are one minute long.
There are eight camera settings and four zoom levels to choose from. It's really, really cool to view replays from a variety of angles, even panning the camera while the action is going on. I've yet to see a bug. Perhaps there won't be a patch-fest like the one seen with the initial release of Talonsoft's East Front. As I said, I'm enjoying this game immensely, and BTS promises much more when the full game is finally released, hopefully before Christmas.
