Shmavis Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Hello, all. Has anyone tried this game yet? I just spotted a demo on Steam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Uh, commercial links are not allowed on the forum. Not sure if this one qualifies, but be forewarned. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger33 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 It's fun and very challenging, but almost feels like a puzzle game more than a wargame due to the large scale/short number of turns. There is some room for flexibility, but it seems that for most scenarios there are only so many "correct" moves to make if you want to capture all the objectives on time. I guess it just depends on what sort of game you are looking for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've only played the Voronezh scenario and it seems like the emphasis is more on maintaining supply lines than destroying the enemy. That's not necessarily bad, just different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Other Means Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Hello, Andy! Yes, it's me. It's been a while, hasn't it? How are you? Great. Sam and I are married as of August - you know, 11 years, two kids a dog and a house it was probably time. Been through a couple of jobs - enjoying this one I started a month ago, it's more front-end consultancy plus I get commission. I don't really play CM any more but I drop in the forums occasionally. How's life treating you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really play CM any more but I drop in the forums occasionally. How's life treating you? We've bounced around a bit. We're in Nebraska now. Some ups and downs. I bought a copy of CM:BN, thinking that I'd play the heck out of it, but I haven't touched the game in over a year. I haven't really played video games that much, as a matter of fact. Had to take a break from school and go back to work! Now, I'm trying to do the opposite. lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Other Means Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Nice to see you anyway, we'll see what this new engine malarky is about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnergoz Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Re: OP; I do like the game but it is heavily biased towards quickly attaining your map objectives and so it is mainly about attack, attack, attack. The engine may have some promise. But I do so very much hate the bobblehead unit symbols and little tanks, coming from the old "NATO counters are king" crowd. The mods that remove the bobbleheads from the main game work well, but so far no way to remove them from the DLC game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
