Tanks I´m looking forward to this release. I´v played the first beta and was a blast! Don´t get blinded by the fireworks - with a little modding it can get as realistic as you want! I´ve tried 1000mt engagements and only took a couple of hours work! (it just takes notepad) I wished Theatre of War was build in this engine- all the things missing in ToW are already in this game, fully destructible environments/ enterable buildings/ mortars/ infantry taking cover and actually fighting like soldiers/ smoke.. full maping and exporting tools etc..

I play Total War - Faces of War - Theatre of war And have no problems with the camera in neither of them in fact they are all very similar! You will just have to tweak the camera to your likings and live with it. And i do use the cursor keys to pan a lot in all of this games PS: You do know that if you click and hold the middle mouse button (scroll wheal) you free the camera . And ofcourse the "enter" unit view camera option (unique to Tow) is your friend

Surrending units (no need to kill them all!)/ smoke / mortars This are, in my opinion, the main things to add. Then theres: A dinamic campaign / small operations for MP (play 3 /4 batles with your force (not just a quick non concequencial engagment)/ add the air/arty assets to the MP / enterable buildings (and totaly destructible enviroment).. to name a few

I´v been able to find games 1 or 2 around mid-night 00Hours GMT (Portugal/ UK time) Its the tininy window where we can fit the later night west Europe players and the early USA ones. I guess wen all versions are unifyed we can have more games.

The LOS Tool its there - But its independent of the target selection. You need to select your attack type (the icons for area fire or turret/ hull/ tracks - and then another ugly, but efective, arrow shows up!

Madmatt Make a torrent yourself and release it

Very good AAR, Gracias.

In Close Combat (i´m shure about the V one)theres an option to change the language. But no cool accent like in the movies "kiell tha americanenn"

For me 7 Dec would be great. Faces of War sequel MP beta test will be over by then so im thinking on reinstalling this game to have, finaly, some MP batles.

Beta now. I promisse not to winne

This review is quite short but on the spot, for the negative aspects. It should extend a bit more on the good points.. by reading it i don´t know how he came to 60%. One thing is certain, by the screens on the article the reviwer was probaly expecting some CoH or FoW play..! Tank duels at a couple of meters a part!

Try your laptop Dell site for your new gpu drives. Laptops are usualy very picky with gpu drives. (anyway always do a cleen unistall first) PS: Theres a litle program that enables you to use "normal" drives on a laptop. I lost track of it.. after a major crashdon on my laptop i think is beried somewhere over this site http://www.tweakguides.com/ATICAT_1.html

As for realising mods I think not encouraging doesn´t mean you can´t. I don´t know where battlefront stays on this one. On Faces of War, also a 1C game published by Ubisoft (on a third party engine) moding is encouraged the all game is a modders even

wy not? Its just a interface thing. The structure of the squads and everything else remais the same. The individual parts of the "group" don´t change there behaviour. Its not a historic/ realistic dependent feature! You are not changing the structure of your army, Its just a quick way to control/ assign orders.

I don´t know about that mission. But from wath I´ve played so far this is one draw back of the game. There should defently be a retreat button (broken units should leave the field) or at list a timmer. I got stuck on the first polish mission after breaking the german advance, i can´t go after them and they don´t advance... Same thing on the 3 French.. have to start over nad over
