The Regiment - Task Force system is a better take on the Phase system of Wargame. I cant really figure out if the infantry actually do anything though lol

It was part of this whole steam festival thing where a ton of indie devleopers would thrown up current snapshots of their games in a big promotional thing. It was specifically time limited. It wasn't a "This is our game" demo. It was "This is our game and we're still working on it" demo. Think of it as a teaser trailer. For the record it was pretty good. Not without flaw, I agree Infantry seemed pretty weak, but again still very much in development. I've definitely added it to my wishhlist.

Interesting thread on Taiwan's incorporation of US equipment into its military. https://twitter.com/TangAnZhu/status/1276533600087715840 Nice that I was able to fire up C:MO, find the ROC P-3C in the database and recreate this sortie fairly quickly.

Mr Luxury Yacht posted:So apparently UA: Dreadnought will be hitting Steam in early August, with the beta campaign to follow 5-6 months after that. I love big gun battleship sims. Not without campaigns though, fighting random battles is kind of dumb. Especially, especially with the build your own ship component. It’s totally wasted without a campaign. It I am stuck fighting random battles I at least want historical ships to fight with. So, sadly, looks like a need to wait more than a year to play this game... if COVID doesn’t kill me.

Right then Case White Signups. Quote this post and edit in your votes/army preference, the next person in the chain needs to quote/edit the post above yours. If somehow two people post at the same time and sign up for the same army then the top post wins: Germany 3rd Army (also OKH): Germany 4th Army: Germany 8th Army: Germany 10th Army: Germany 14th Army: Polish Northern (also Rydz-Smigly): Polish Southern: Variants: Early Rain: Stalin Breaks Promise: Western Troops: Western Offensive: Better Polish Equipment: Better Polish Strategy: Free Setup: x Equalise: +10 Days: I think Free Setup is a no-brainer. I genuinely don't have a sense for what variant settings are fair. Last time we played this one I was all of the Polish forces against a full German team and I won, but only because some inexperienced players made errors and I took some outrageous gambles to punish them (e.g. 2 Panzer corps stacked up in one hex and I used an armoured train to cut them off from supply for two turns). Likewise I don't think we've had a Case Blue game yet where the Germans didn't win.

If somehow two people post at the same time and sign up for the same army then the top post wins: Signed up for 4th Army, and putting in a vote for "Western Troops" and "Equalize", and I concur with free set-up. My take is that: * Stalin Breaks Promise only gives a chance of more troops, so might not be good * Western Offensive just robs the Germans of troops, so not so interesting * Better Polish Equipment - I'd be okay with also taking this if more people want to * Better Polish Strategy - we're already doing free set-up, so this should be of no consequence?

There was definitely a phase while we were still working out the meta where we realised that the solution to two sides squaring off against each other from opposite ends of a field in cover was to march infantry at them, because they either shot at you and then got smacked by your tanks or your guys got to walk in and murder them all.

Literally anyone. The German armies all have something interesting to do, but none of them are by themselves 'make or break'. e: case white is also a good warm up game for case yellow e: you do however need to be able to follow basic instructions

Really it's just one of those games where you have to play for a bit and then you'll be able to eyeball combat odds and then you are good to go.

If there's a relatively succinct tutorial out there somewhere I'd be interested in it. One run ending thing I wish I knew was that the Soviet will counter attack from the Pripyat marsh. The AI basically can get supply as long as it can trace a supply route so anything short of full encirclement will not stop them from getting supply. Also don't forget to deploy your artillery and air support with the card system. Watch for overstack bonus, a little over is fine but anything else will see you suffer ridiculous amount of casualty.

Anyone played Victory and Glory: The American Civil War (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1241910/Victory_and_Glory_The_American_Civil_War/)? Just looking for general impression of whether it's worth looking into or not.

Just looking for general impression of whether it's worth looking into or not. I think that this game is a descendant of "Hannibal: Rome and Carthage in the Second Punic War" which, while fun for a few hours, wasn't exactly deep or particularly replayable. The price tag for Victory and Glory: ACW gives me pause in large part because of that (another part is that there's apparently no multiplayer).

I have played out both campaigns and its interesting, although there are some obvious UI issues and there are some cards that are a bit gamebreaking. I would recommend it but don't spend too much money on it (I'm in a cheap steam pricing region so no idea what the game goes for in USD).

If you’re playing watch out for the ai, I think it cheats a little bit with regards to supply. The couple of times I played the Germans the soviets would send a couple units down the seam between army group north and center and gently caress up my supply situation. Something a human wouldn’t be able to do.

BBJoey posted:Sending units in between army groups is actually exactly what humans do as the Soviets in DCB. Taking a couple of divisions that are too battered to fight and sending them on an exploratory journey into the enemy backlines is a great way to gently caress with German supply. The AGN-AGC line is particularly vulnerable southeast of Lake Ilmen, which the German player often leaves exposed, and AGC-AGS is vulnerable around Kiev. Granted it could be that I am just bad at the game. But if I remember correctly, the units where both 10’s of hex’s away from their hq and in a different theater. Which should have provided an ap malus large enough to prevent them from moving more then a hex a turn. I was seeing tank units with their full ap scooting around.
