Five stars after v1.1 patch [Posted on 2003-04-12]
Hi,

Before buying this game I seen 20+ review on it. All of them bad :(
And it seemed all the reviews were right, this game does have problems! But did you know the v1.1 patch fixes 90% of the problems? Even the big three crashes
- crash involving artillery fire
- memory leaks which were causing slowdowns and crashes after playing the game for a while.
- crashes to desktop during the game.

After patching, this game rocks! Play American, German or Brits, durning late years of ww2 (44-45).
Random scenarios are great and if your into miniature games like, Easy Eights "Battleground WW2" or Meramic Enterprises "The Face of Battle" You'll feel right at home.

failed attempt, but PLEASE try again! [Posted on 2003-09-14]
Squad leader was the bomb as I was growing up. Believe me, I was elated at the prospect. Unfortunately, the dang thing crashes constantly. It did so on my last system and my new one. It's fairly slow to respond to commands, etc. If it weren't for these technical difficulites, it would be a masterpiece. When it works it's a blast but I've simply given up on playing it at this point and am looking for something new to satisfy my SL crave. Atari (and I know what your name means in Japanese) I have the utmost respect for you, but please try this again. If you make an SL II, as the old but functioning, you will have my money.

The absolute worst!!! [Posted on 2004-12-23]
This review is long overdue on my part. If you bought this horrible game before you read this, to you I apologize.

As for the makers of this horrible game, you should go to jail for making this game as terrible as you did. Once again, the computer gaming world steals the title of a great board game in the name of profit. Thanks, you just ruined my favorite board game from being my favorite computer game!

"Squad Leader" was and still is the absolute best BOARD game of Infantry Combat of all time. I am in the US Army Infantry so I THINK I know a thing or two about being an Infantryman.

I will not go into all the details of why the "computer game" sucks. I know this game is targeted toward fans of the "board game", to YOU I say this; this game has nothing to do with the "board game" except in title only. Not only that, "it's stupid"! It was so stupid; I was too embarrassed to give this game away. I threw it away after breaking the disk in two. I would NOT want anyone to play this thinking this is Squad Leader.

One small example of what prompted me to throw this away: When I shot my first German Soldier in the game he cried out saying "mommy"! My God what a tremendous insult to all Soldiers of any nation!!!

To anyone interested in this title I urge you, find the board game which is out of print. You can find it if you look hard enough for it. Don't waste your time even considering this computer game.

To the Computer Game "Makers": What are you doing on your job???? Drinking???? Doing drugs maybe???? Why can't you just make the game like the board game???? If you're not going to do that then DON'T name it after the board game!!!! I wasted my money on this one.

You guys selling this are in for it! I plan to review any game that sucks and post it wherever I can. Maybe if you lose some profits you'll shape up and produce a realistic game for once.

Bottom line: This is a terrible computer simulation of Squad Leader "the board game" a game about Infantry Combat in World War II. Don't waste your money here.
