I wish I was a NaS 1.0 beta tester

From about the 4 hours I have played of it, it feels like a whole new game. I also really love the new units! (The 72nd Mexican Guerrilla Infantry  )

What is a skybox ?

You won't understand much... but you can have a good look at it

[hardcorefreestyleboy]

The sky is a box in NW. You play in a big box and this box is now prettier

I love the music that was playing in the beginning, it's from Gettysburg. What's it called?

Y'know, if The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly were one of the selections, I'd hit it in a heartbeat! Zulu Dawn it is then

YES! Any Spaghetti western for that matter

  Another Spaghetti fan?! Are you on the SWDB forums? Have you seen A Reason to Live, a Reason to Die, Fort Yuma Gold, or The Hellbenders? Those are the first spaghetti Civil War flicks that pop into my head besides GBU.
