You're just watching the combat replay anyways, so there is no reason why there can't be a full set of VCR style controls, including slow-motion!

Na ja, irgendeinen Nutzen müssen wir ja aus der Politik unseres Kanzlers ziehen. Sonst kommt ja nicht so viel rüber. Ich fühle mich hier in D wie auf der Titanic und die Kapelle spielt munter: "Alles wird gut!".

Yeah, I love that game too. The best game out there to build a War of the Ring scenario.
But I got the idea from Fallout Tactics, were the real time combat uses action points for firing, reloading, etc.
They just left the movement out. A mistake, me thinks.

Not really.
In turn based mode, moving takes up action points.
In realtime mode, the character's movement uses up action points at the same rate as they recharge, and the speed on screen is scaled appropriately. Just makes things more convienent for the user to read the status, and avoids fractional AP usage.

Nope, in the US IIRC but not in Germany.

...

Actually, Age of Wonders I is better suited for that purpose, IMHO. There was one particular good Middle Earth map, you would like it.
