Yeah Panzer Corps has had bad vibes since they started doing infinite alternate history scenario's for the Germans, which started about 2 seconds after the release of the base game.

im gonna create a wargame that poses the question "what if the germans were even worse and dumber"

the Outworlds Alliance are basically the only group in the setting that actually bother having elections and aren’t some variety of dystopia

they also get so little content that they barely even exist

realised i had purchased BATTLETECH at some point in the past and, drat, the ai really really likes hitting damaged mechs again and again and again

managed to gently caress up on the second campaign mission by getting a mech stuck in a choke point, blocking my other mechs, and compounded the mistake by then somehow accidentally facing that mech away from the 3 or 4 hostiles out of the choke. the mech ultimately survived, but the pilot is now injured for 60 days. i am good at games

the accidental facing thing just makes me feel that any similar game that doesn't copy into the breach's movement system is being user-hostile. into the breach lets you mess around with a unit's movement to your heart's content, but the move is only 'committed' after you use a weapon or similar ability. very nice when you're messing with positions

also is there any way to disable the slow-rear end mech walking animations?

extremely good poo poo, cheers. i knew in a very abstract way that old-timey armies had big trains of followers and such, and that logistics is a huge part of military life. but you _never_ hear about it or see it portrayed or anything, and don't realise what 10,000 men marching around wherever means in practice, etc etc

You can unironically apply the rocket equation to a pre-modern army's non-looting logistics.

e: Hell, in many ways, it's measuring the same damned thing.

the exact same thing occurred to me!
