Hehe … that sounds like me 4 years ago Jaz, but then I thought RPG's were boring back then

I still don't have a single thought on the topic, other than that after trying for a hundred or two hours I still don't like RTS (and thus avoided Company of Heroes and will avoid Supreme Commander). I love real-time action for solo gaming - that is, after all, my 'home'. But I also love turn-based action in strategy games, to the point of laboring through 'play by mail' with Field Commander on the PSP last year.

I still think that a combat system should be built to make sense for a game, and that the game should be constantly evaluated against the combat system.
