Does Battlefront still make you download their games as a single 3 gig exe installer file? That was my favorite. Oh you lost connection for a second, go ahead and start it over.

Yeah it''s a mistake to play Combat Mission for the campaign per se, they're strings of scenarios that are no better or worse than the standalone scenarios. Also they are in no way structured in order of ascending complexity or difficulty.

PaperTiger's campaigns for CM:BN (can't remember the names, but he has one for the base game, the UK expansion, and the Market Garden expansion) are the only ones that are worth playing in the entire series. All the others either have lovely maps or are entirely too complex. Paper Tiger's stuff hits the perfect balance in force size and difficulty and he creates beautiful maps. I don't think he's done any other stuff for the other games.

Happy Hedonist posted:Command Ops 2 is on sale right now. Here's a link to the base client which is free, it has 3 scenarios and you buy modules which contain 12+ scenarios each. There are 6 or 7 modules available. OK I tried the free scenarios in the CO2 engine - but I'm not sure what the upgrade is beyond filling the screen with menu windows.

V for Vegas posted:OK I tried the free scenarios in the CO2 engine - but I'm not sure what the upgrade is beyond filling the screen with menu windows. Here's a thread that goes over the changes. http://forums.lnlpublishing.com/threads/co2-changes.1010/ Most of the changes are to the UI. The UI was pretty terrible before and it may be even worse now, I haven't decided yet. The new overlays and the ability to display multiple force and task windows is a nice addition, but poo poo gets cluttered real quick and it's annoying. Apparently you can move all the stupid dialog boxes to a 2nd monitor, which would be nice, but I don't have 2 monitors so I don't know how well that actually works. I do like the way units scale depending on zoom level and the "Extended Force Icon Information" feature. Here's a list of the AI changes. http://forums.lnlpublishing.com/p/3340 I honestly don't know how most of those changes effect game play. It's been a long time since I've played CO, but I've noticed I'm having to babysit units less than I did in the past. For instance attached artillery seems to pick appropriate targets and provide better support. Reserve and support units act more like I want them to which makes attack orders seem less chaotic. Really, all of this stuff could have been implemented in a series of patches. I think what really happened is that Panther Games wanted to change their business model by giving away the actual client and then charge for the scenario packs instead of releasing a new game every couple of years. Maybe Matrix didn't agree with that model so they found a new publisher? I'm not sure it's worked out for them because now they are moving to Steam in an attempt to draw a larger audience and the developer has hinted that future development of the game depends on how well the game sells there. That's a shame because it's such a niche title I don't think it's going to sell. On the bright side the new scenario packs are good and it's still Command Ops. It's a very unique title that I happen to really enjoy so I hope things go well for them. I'd really like to play Command Ops Eastern Front in some form or another.

I'd seen mention at The Sharp End blog that Command Ops might not be continuing. http://thesharpendgaming.blogspot.com/2016/12/the-future-of-command-ops.html I don't feel like digging into whatever forum Panther games uses to disseminate info. Though on the Greenlight page from Dec 20 I found this :  So who knows?

I seriously doubt it's going to sell even if he does get it on Steam. At least I still have a ton of scenarios to play through. I'm trying to remember how to play Combat Mission again this morning, and while the game is fun, the fact the frame rate is still garbage makes me mad. I don't mind poo poo graphics but wildly variable frame rates literally give me a head ache, it's dumb.

How are the Panzer Corps expansions? I really like the base game and I've replayed it several times but due to the right time limits it feels almost like a puzzle game where each mission has specific steps to go through in order to get the superior victory. I want more flexibility to experiment with different tactics and troops. Also considering grabbing Order of Battle. How open is that?

So, Panzer Corps(just like Panzer/Allied/Fantasy/Star General) is basically Fire Emblem but harder and with equipment rather than romance. The expansions just add a buttload of missions. It's not really going to change anything.

It's always felt more dynamic, though I don't know how much of that is my own ineptitude. I'd really have to play the Soviet side more to see how well the AI can develop pockets.

I know now why I forgot I bought CMBN. I just don't get Combat Mission. I am HORRIBLE at it. While looking at that thread on WITE2 I ran across a blurb that lead me to a post on some other forum where I found this. quote:We are doing this while also working on a new tactical game inspired by Gary's old Steel Panthers series, something we are working on jointly with the Matrix development group. We hope that one or both of these games will come out in 2017, although this part of the post will self-destruct within 30 days and I will deny ever saying it. That's exciting stuff IMO. Also, I'm still looking for someone to play either Panzer Battles or one of Tiller's WW1 games with me. Someone here has to own one of these.

I don't think he's done any other stuff for the other games. I enjoy the larger, more complex campaigns, but yeah the Paper Tiger ones were probably the best (I haven't played every campaign in every game though). The Allied campaign for Market Garden was probably my favorite from the whole series. The maps are nice, the missions are varied, some are short, some are long, it switches back and forth between US and British missions, and there are a lot of different types of Germans that you go up against so I never got bored with it, despite it being a pretty long campaign overall (like 14 missions?). Alchenar posted:Yeah it''s a mistake to play Combat Mission for the campaign per se, they're strings of scenarios that are no better or worse than the standalone scenarios. That's not really true though - some campaigns give you choices to make, like do you go left or go right, or attack or wait etc. Sometimes you will get different missions and different maps depending on the choices you make or whether you win or lose a battle. Like in one of the German campaigns for CMBN for example, I lost a battle and then had to conduct a fighting withdrawal for the next one, with Allied troops attacking from all directions, and I wouldn't get this battle if I won. Troops and sometimes ammo will carry over from mission to mission too so you have to worry about preservation, while in a scenario you can just throw everyone you have into the meat grinder and have your battalion HQ personally lead an attack with his pistol or whatever and it won't matter. Some campaigns are obviously better or worse than others though, and some are not much more than strings of scenarios. There are also good user-made campaigns you can download.

Biggest problem with the WITE AI is that it can't look more than one turn ahead as far as forming pockets is concerned, which greatly limits the kind of danger you'll face as a Soviet player. As a German player, it won't matter as much because the Soviet steamroller is going to push you around anyway.
