Does anyone on this board own this title, Daisenryaku Perfect 2.0 DX (or version 1.0)? I am thoroughly enjoying Kemco's iteration for the Xbox, but was stunned by the additional features of the latest PC version.

I wonder if an informal, partial localization was possible. Many games have easily editable game interface files, where one could simply paste English text over the Kanji.

What is really striking to me, however, is how US wargame outfits like HPS, Shrapnel, and Matrix have not tried to develop this engine for the US market. Grognards would love this game, and it appears that base code has been sold to many buyers over a long period of time, hence the constellation of versions that have appeared.

Yeah, it's absurdly pricey. I would upgrade my PC to play that game, and could probably hack the files easily if I could afford it. I'd have trouble (as usual) with scenario text and what-not however menus, dialogs, etc should be fairly rote, particularly if the labels are stored as text.

Is there any site where I can see some screenshots?

The SystemSoft website has many screenshots of the game, but to navigate the site, it is best to open another window, go to babblefish.com and enter the URL in the translation box, selecting "Japanese to English." You can then browse the links with Janglish text, which is far easier than Kanji for those who read Japanese.

BTW, here is a brief list of features I found while looking at the site;

Maps can be as large as 256x256 hexes.
New elevation - super high elevation (for ballistic missiles, air recon)
Facilities are entered for benefits, and there are many more available.
Facilities can be destroyed by strategic weapons.
Bridges - can be built and blown.
Day and Night cycles - affects visibility.
Full unit editor, full map editor, full scenario editor, including reinforcements.
Unit Fatigue - use them too much and they stop moving.
Long range ambush units - SAMs and Interceptors now fire at approaching enemies from a distance. (This could also help make tank destroyer units like TOW carriers bahve more realistically, and finally have a real game use.
Critical Hits and Total Misses - chances for extra damage or total whiffs.
Repair units - can repair damaged/destroyed facilities/bridges. This allows for a real strategic warfare game, where production can be targeted by strategic bombers while repair units frantically work to repair.
Ballistic Missile phase - a special phase for conducting attacks, which can be set to occur before/after normal unit phase.
Land and Sea Mines, with Mine removal/detction units.

Oddly, the I cannot find weather rules, which have been incorporated in some of the Ps2 WWII titles. This version was supposed to cover EVERYTHING in the series (and more), but I haven't been able to verify.

Anyway, this list should perk further interest in this excellent game series, and yes, I would be willing to pay anyone with language skills to help our little community develop an informal translated version.

I've been looking around babblefish.com and I just can't get it translated...

What do you mean by: "go to babblefish.com and enter the URL in the translation box, selecting "Japanese to English." You can then browse the links with Janglish text"
