Zaodai posted:I don't know if it's groggy enough to qualify for this thread, since it's not economic and grand strategy in scale but I figure if Combat Mission and stuff counts it might interest some of you. This just recently went up on steam as a TBA and frankly looks pretty cool to me as tactical space combat stuff goes: This looks really cool, especially all the stuff they have about radar-jamming and intelligence wars within the battles. Def gonna be keeping an eye on this.

i actually want to buy WiTE2 because i never played 1 but Shadow Empire is grog-lite and kicks my rear end with its complexity i feel like id need to take a 4 year degree to learn how to play WiTE as much as I want to

Instead of buying WitE2 I pulled the trigger on Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa. This'll be my second grog game after Shadow Empire (which you all made me feel like a real grogger (is that a word?) which I appreciate!) unless you count Panzer Corps Gold, so I'm pretty excited to dive in.

Now I have DC:B for the Eastern Front, WitP for the Pacific theater, and I think I'll eventually pick up Hearts of Iron IV to focus on the Western Front.

Drone posted:One of these things is not like the other, one of these things is just not the same Yeah I know HoI isn't a grog game but I have a lot of grog games to keep me busy for now and really like Crusader Kings so I figured I'd give another Paradox game a shot. I'll probably hold off on buying it though since I just bought War in the Pacific and that'll keep me busy for quite some time.

I’m geeking out on PTO after reading Shattered Sword and listening to Dan Carlin’s Supernova in the East -series, and since War On the Sea seems disappointing I have no choice but to try and get into WitPAE once again. Maybe this time... Thanks for the Shattered Sword rec, I have a long flight coming up and just ordered a copy. Between that and playing WitP im gonna be in armchair general bliss for 8 hours.

I bought the DC: B physical manual and I have no regrets. I wish they'd make a Shadow Empire physical manual. I might just take it to a printing store and put it in a binder. There's something about having a physical manual that makes playing grog games sm fun.

I love Shadow Empire it was my first real grog game and to this day probably still my favorite one. Endlessly replayable and has a nice Crusader Kings-type role playing feel to it without sacrificing it's grogginess. Anyone whose been playing Warplan: Pacific have any thoughts? The systems and game itself look fun from what I've seen on youtube but there's something so...bland about the UI. It doesn't seem very cool or exciting. I can't put my finger on what's putting me off but I'm a real Pacific War buff and it'd be nice to have an alternative to WitP. Hope it turns out well.

Popete posted:That feels like such a cop out. I get annoyed when developers assume everyone wants to play with mods and lean on the community to finish their game. Yeah this just makes me not want to buy it even more. "Here's a feature I know people want but someone else can do it" is just lazy. I wanna buy a finished game, not wait on modders to do the work the dev knows he should have done.

Probably because there's not a lot of games focusing on the Pacific theater and if you don't wanna play WitP that's kinda your only other option (at least that I can think of) Speaking of WitP, I had a quick question: the unit/ship withdrawls? It says in the info screen that some ships are set to be withdrawn in X amount of days, but what does that mean? Where are they going?

Got it, thank you! Does it take time to withdraw them, or can I use them right up until withdrawl? For example if it says "14 days until withdrawl", can I use them for 14 more days then withdraw them or do I have to factor in the amount of time it'll take for them to get to Europe?

I may be mistaken but I believe there is an auto-withdraw option right? Maybe it's a mod but a youtube tutorial mentioned it.

Mods please delete this if it's not allowed, but does anyone have a link to the PDF file of WitP manual? I bought the game and have been playing it but for some reason on the Slitherine/Matrix website it says I don't own it it so I can't download the manual, and I'm not gonna pay ANOTHER $80 just to have the manual.
