[edit] POV?

I agree it needs cleanup, but what is POV about it? The previews are, indeed, extremely positive, that's a fact. And I say that it's great "according to previews" (finding enough links to support this is not a problem, I don't think there was a single negative/neutral preview yet).

The best graphics bit is rather obvious (Rome: Total War comes close and some may like it more, but overall Act of War does more impressive stuff). The rest of the text contains nothing but facts.

By all means, please go ahead and copy-edit, but there isn't really any POV to remove. Paranoid 22:24, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion

There's an expansion coming up, wich adds navy's, planable aircraft routes, mercenary's and more. It's due to be released in march 2006. (Source: PC Gameplay (Belgian-Dutch gamesmagazine))

[edit] TFT superweapon

It'll be interesting to note that the superweapon for TFT in the game (at least in Single player, not sure about multiplayer) is Wolverine "Baby Nukes". The Howitzer is virtually unheard of in the game. Can someone confirm this?

The article is correct. The TFT superweapon is a howitzer, the U.S. Marine superweapon is the Wolverine. Brophmeister (talk) 22:02, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
