very useful guys, keep it up.

NWAC was not even on my Radar screen until it was released. I thought it was just some "command&Conquer/Age of Empire" type RTS. I was pleasantly surprised when I found it is an actual simulation of modern naval warfare, and a blast to play.
It's this same kind of idiocy that hurt the sim genre back in the Microprose days and saw the huge collapse of the sim genre. How easily people forget (or don't care). I know many people from Microprose and the game mags that reviewed them. The #1 thing that killed the genre were its own fans. After a while developing games for ungrateful, hate-mongering, death-threat spewing grognards became terribly unappealing for the low pay.
