I'm dumb with my money when it comes to literally anything ww2 related so don't worry, I'll pick it up and do a post-mortem at some point. And Herp and I have concluded something in discord. Where the hell is the Silent Hunter game with British, Dutch, and Italian subs?! (Oh and the Russians!)

Thirty years war: The Prodestant scourge (captained by Yooper) continues to be driven from Bohemia as Prague is beseiged and the main Bohemian army trapped outside the city as winter falls.  In the west General Tilly, having walked all the loving way from Austria to come to the rescue of Frankfurt surprises a Proddy army a third of his size, and barely wins of course. Cordoba also got killed in this battle and then the Spainish troops decided they were needed in Flanders.   Eager for a rematch (and because of my fat fingers) he accidentally stumbles into Gen. George's prepared positions, and somehow pulls off a win? Huh guess we all have our moments. ---------- It was all going so well too.  Of course it's winter now (Jan 1622) so we get to stare at each other over a frozen river for a while as the rest of my Spainywards gently caress off to Flanders.  Despite me having probably 30%+ more combat power around Prague Yooper faked me out and doubled back to sieze & plunder my loving Depot which was the only thing keeping the Prague siege supplied. Now we have sweet FA food in the middle of Winter but we finally managed to breach the walls so there's no turning back now!

It's a lot more enjoyable going the PBEM route. Then we can both banter about how bad we are while watching our armies flail about like rabid retards. The proper answer to who starves first : Everyone.

I'm enjoying how two of the three concentrations of force in Germany we have are staring at each other over the massive fortifications they have built while performing said staring contest and the third are just tearing around the south,

I haven't been able to sink as much time as I've wanted to but Command Ops 2 is the best tactical grog game I've played in a long while. Check out the free scenarios if you haven't tried it yet.

I was just coming to post that and then ask how much content is in the free part of it. Also the campaigns are 20% off, $24-$28 a piece.

The default I downloaded from them last year came with the tutorial scenario, a week long scenario with a lot of units, and a smaller short one. I don't know if anything is different in the Steam version but I assume not.

Squiggle posted:I could buy...one...or two. Any suggestions on which are the best bang for the buck? My recommendation is to buy whatever interests you the most. Bastogne and Ride of the Valkyries are a good place to start if you're interested in the Ardennes offensive. Edit: but yea, the stupid bundle is the way to go if you want a bunch of CO2.

Cool, I wasn't sure if it was like Panzer Corps where some DLC packs seem to be up to a higher standard than others. gently caress it, bought the bundle. It's 70+ missions, so if that's not enough then I don't know what my sickness is.

The Bulge or Highway to the Reich missions are probably the best ones to start out with as they have up to 300 - 400 units. I'm working through the Westwall missions at the moment which have 500 - 600. The Knock On All Doors scenarios are mad with 900 unit missions.

Is Command Ops 2 a worthwhile upgrade over 1? I haven't played 1 as much as I should, even though it seems like a really novel and amazing system.

CO1 is still fine - it was only abandoned because of Panther leaving Matrix, not because it was obsolete. I actually prefer its static UI over the movable windows of CO2 which you can never fit neatly to the side. So unless your OCD can't handle it, there's no real need to re-buy modules on CO2 that you already have on CO1. But there is now a lot of CO2 exclusive content coming online.

The docking window thing drives me nuts. At least let me pin them or something. They're going to have Steam Workshop support for scenarios and such so you might get some good poo poo down the pipe.

Hearts of iron 4 is on sale today. Is it remotely worth getting if I'm primarily aiming to try the pacific side? It seems like aside from WitP there aren't any games that go there on the operational level. I haven't heard great things about Hoi4 but I haven't been following it at all, the last I played was 3 shortly after it came out.

The thing is, the naval and air combat are not great in the least and the AI is absolutely horrible. It's a fun little grog-lite game and it allows for some incredibly silly, dumb poo poo, but if you're looking for a high quality simulation sort of thing, maybe skip it.
