  1. I'll purchase Fire & Rubble first day. Right now I'm immersed in GMT Panzer & MBT as well as Graviteam Mius Front. Too busy to spend time wishing for something that will come when it comes.
  2. My favorite part of Steel Division 2 is the Army General turn based operational level (battalion level units) battles can be fought in super detail (RTS mode) tactical mode with individual tanks, squads, planes, and artillery pieces OR skip the detailed battles and have the battalion stats determine the outcome of the battle. Not typical RTS as commanders and leaders lend support to the units and ranged fire is taken into account. All in all, this game is a pleasant surprise. As an old hex and counter wargamer, I asked the developer on the Steam Board to slow down the RTS speed. I cannot take a click fest. The developer asked me what speed I would be comfortable playing the game - I asked for .33 of normal speed. Hope they institute it in the game. That would make it palatable to wargamers.
  3. Excuse me for mentioning a non-grognard RTS game BUT, Steel Division 2 (operation Bagration) is a lot of fun. It manages to throw enough "semi-realistic" attributes to keep ones interest. I am enjoying the Army General portion of the solo game. Passes the time between Combat Mission releases! I'll duck now and prepare to be YELLED AT.
  4. Regarding CMSF2: I purchased the base game from Paradox and all modules from BF. Will I still be eligible for the discount?
  5. Hasn't the claim that Prokhorovka was the largest tank battle in history been documented as false by various modern studies? How does Kursk as a whole stack up as the largest tank battle if you include German 9th Army, 4th Pz Army, AD Kempf and the three Soviet fronts?
  6. WW2 justified by former German soldiers Wonder what the post war generations of Germans think?
  7. Just follow the trail of massacared villages.
  8. Or NWS's Steam and Iron? Minimal graphics but fantastic game play.
  9. You are welcome. The Squad Battles series shines when representing infantry actions. Tanks are more abstractly represented (not necessarily a bad thing). That being said, WW1 infantry actions are well modeled by the system.
  10. You can demo the Squad Battles series by downloading the Grenada free game. There is (as far as I know) no demo for First World War. If you like the Squad Battles series, the First World War game is one of the best.
  11. Try John Tillers WW1 Squad Battles game. You can see the evolution of small unit tactics over the course of the war by studying the game's oob's and tactics.
  12. Bad guys - Gulags, Starvation, & Ethnic Relocation. Badder guys - invasion for the purpose of eliminating entire populations.
  13. Ok BF - here it is: What do we want? - an updated CMSF! When do we want it? - asap as long as it doesn't interfere with Bagration!
  14. Any estimate when any of the new content may be released?
  15. I'm sure a tremendous amount of effort was expended by Tartari to get as far as he has. Thanks for the effort. Pity that a system as accurate and entertaining as TOW has been allowed to die by its publisher.
  16. I think its Graviteam Tactics Operation Star. Great system by the way.
  17. 57. Bought Phalanx from SPI and Panzer Blitz from AH in 1971 and never looked back.
  18. I keep up my ASL habit in the event of a zombie invasion and I have no electricity to play CM.
  19. I will never sell my $1,000's of dollars of ASL gear. It is going with me to my grave. I continue to buy everything new and never play it! I guess I need help.
  20. Moet: I understand your point. However like most here, I believe the cost of CM-2 is fair and as long as BF provides new content and updates I will continue to purchase them. I guess you don't play ASL? When I think of all the ASL products I've purchased (many times multiple versions), CM-2 seems VERY INEXPENSIVE by comparison.
  21. I want to second lemonade's comment. I check this forum twice a week to see if there are any updates on Tartari's project. I think the TOW series has the potential to be the best tactical sandbox for the PC. I appreciate Tartari's dedication to TOW and applaud his efforts. I never understood 1C's business model regarding TOW. They treated the series like any other RTS game. They never understood the grog wargame community or market. Of course, they may have decided catering to the grog wargame market is not profitable. I never thought TOW received the interest it deserved even from hardcore gamers. We have to be thankfull that people like Tartari devote so much time and effort into keeping the game alive and moving forward.
  22. Tartari: I'm looking forward to seeing the results of your hard work. I wouldn't be suprised if your mod increases sales of TOW3. Thanks again for your dedication to this fine series.
  23. Amen Brother! I could never get the extractor to work. Hope there's a simple installer for this when released.
