Fintilgin posted:Weird. The mini map literally says the title of the board game. I imagine it's a placeholder because the event cards and description scream Hannibal. Alikchi posted:Oh this is fantastic! Last I heard the guy was working on another ancient era game so this comes completely out of left field for me. Yeah the art looks bad. BTW, Hannibal: Rome & Carthage(The computer game) is not the same as Hannibal: Rome vs Carthage(a board game, one of the first CDGs after We the People). The screenshots of everything other than the map look exactly like Hannibal from the combat to the cards, so i'm inclined to believe that it's placeholder stuff rather than a port of that game. "The Genius of Napoleon" is basically a dead ringer for "Hannibal's Punic Tricks", for example. Panzeh fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Oct 15, 2015 |

Regardless, found a roadmap post on their forums and for anyone else like me who didn't know about it: Yeah no, not expecting any improvements on that front  Also Black Sea stuff sounding years off. Wouldnt be so bad If you could actually mod vehicles and make new ones beyond skins. So groggy, so mod unfriendly.

Goon advice is best advice. I managed to get a marginal victory in Flashpoint's A Time to Dance scenario. There's a few things I could have done differently, looking forward to trying that out. But I can't help feel that there's a whole ton of map that's not doing anything. For some reason the Soviet artillery never fired on me, I didn't even know it was there until the end of the game.

I found the British campaign in Flashpoint campaigns to be a lot of fun. Brit forces are a bit less high tech and mobile than US forces, but are very resilient and the missions are well designed.

On that note I'd be down for some small-scale Black Sea PBEM games, I've never actually played with modern equipment against other people before.

I assume it was to cover the Mersing gambit (turn 1 invasion just north of Singapore) but you should be running long range zero CAP over your ships if you are brave enough to try it.

Yeah, Mersing gambit without nearly enough effort expended in suppressing singers. I lost a CA and a CL and 3 DD the next turn.

Thanks Battlefront, but I don't need a website icon installed on my desktop linking to your site everytime I install your games. It's not 1995 anymore, we have these things called 'bookmarks'.

I used to post on the Battlefront forums and I remember for YEARS the entire forums used to just be a frame embedded within the real website, so you couldn't use your forward/backward buttons, have multiple windows or tabs, link to specific threads... just basic forum functionality completely failing.

Does anyone have any recommendations for strategic level Pacific War (as in World War 2) games that aren't ludicrously detailed/difficult to learn? Basically something simpler than War in the Pacific, but which still gets the feeling of the Pacific across.

Try War Plan Pacific http://www.shrapnelgames.com/KE_Studios/WPP/WPP_page.html. There's a demo that gives you a good idea of the gameplay.
