SD2's Army General campaigns are really good, and translating the Total War style 'move units around on the strategic map and then fight individual battles on the tactical map' gameplay loop to a lite operational-level wargame is a great idea Graviteam Tactics did it pretty well too, but it's also much more complicated and takes much longer to play, an engagement in SD is a lot faster and more frenetic and plays more like a traditional RTS compared to GT's Combat Mission style simulationist slugfests

Army General is great, though with moments of clunkiness. It's been a great addition and I'm pumped for WARNO to have it (and 4 CMBG).

the winning strategy in any wwii online multiplayer game, either fps or strategy, is and always will be to write “Rommel was a war criminal” in global chat and destroy your opponent while he writes an essay on why he’s not

It's funny because when I, an idiot, think of how would you do a guided missile with a wire I immediately think little fins that move to keep it on a course set by the operator. This is how other guided missiles already in existence at the time worked like sam's and a2a missiles. Clearly the soviets were sensible people because they did the same thing. What kind of a deranged brain decides no, what we need is fifty tiny one shot boosters that go off like firecrackers to maybe sort of punt the thing onto the right track?

great video. second to none. did TOW missiles also have RCS-like rocket motors or were they always steered with control surfaces? it really did sound goofy though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmgUZXeTy6I  somehow reminds me of

I’m honestly pretty excited about this. https://www.gmtgames.com/p-1027-order-opportunity.aspx. although I worry about the bias that may be in the game. also the laughable idea that in 2000 (or honestly even in 2020) that Russia has anywhere near the global influence of the us, eu, or China. I’ve had an idea floating around in my head for a while if a scifi setting great powers war game that is more about influencing other planets and planting traps that about open warfare.

KSP is getting savaged. Why did they release as a half-cocked early access after KSP 1 was such a big hit and exists for people to compare side by side?

I started KSP when the earth was flat and there were like 7 parts, on the recommendation of Games, I think, so I get what you mean. It took a long time to get to where it is. I suppose I’m asking more why they didn’t wait until they had at least the content of the final build of KSP 1:1, everything except the interstellar stuff I guess. You can’t even do career mode now.
