Tooltips?  More like, "great black boxes that hover over and obscure the
whole friggin' screen, making it bloody well impossible to proceed at
all."

And it's nothing like a "tutorial."  A tutorial takes the newbie player
through a scripted, simplified set of instructional scenarios.  A proper
tutorial would be like the one for DEFCON - a nifty slate of simple
scenarios that deal with a single topic; placing units, scouting,
submarines, etc.

This is ridiculous.  I'm already sorry I bought it.

I think I'll probably chalk it up in the "lessons learned" column -
don't buy dopey card games - and go back to FLIGHT COMMANDER 2.

"[Obama] failed as president because he is incompetent, dishonest and
not interested in the actual work of governing. His statist policies
helped consign millions of Americans to a lower standard of living and
his odious class warfare further divided the nation. He had no intention
of uniting the country -- it was his Big Lie.

I don?t hate him. But I sure as hell don?t trust him."
