I've said it for years, and I've said it quite a bit recently, but for the record... there's too few wargames out there. Anybody that can make a stab at a decent game is good for our hobby. No doubt PCO will appeal to some more than CM:BN, no doubt CM:BN will appeal to some more than PCO. But let's keep in mind that for most people neither is appealing and we should be glad that there's stupid people like us who don't run off to make yet another RTS or FPS game

Thats what I think too. Its ridiculous to fight over it. We should be glad that there is more than one option available. We cant seriously have too many CM style games. The more the merrier.
If your talking about PCO I'm shocked...with step infantry not sure how it can be the greatest tacyical game out there...I love tactical games but it did nothing for me due to the very abstract infantry...now if you love tanks it's fine...but infantry...meh...Anyway horses of courses...one mans meat...and all the other sayings....if YOU love it then thats what counts...
Yeah its true that its a abstract. Theres a mod however (simple modification of XML files) that enables squads to have max ten visible men. Thats somthing atleast.

PCO maps are better than the ones in previous PC games. Somone is even converting CC maps to PCO. Looks good:
-
I have both and Im having hard time deciding which to play with the little time I have to play. Together they have tons of content. I like the half-speed replay turn replay in PCO.

Finns are undefeatable because of their natural athletism and cat-like reflexes that allow them to take cover immediately when threatened.
Amazing reflexes. The fall looks perfectly natural.

Battlefront could just model one finnish soldier and but him alone against the enemy in all scenarios.

CMx1 did not have variable speed settings. It's occasionally requested, but it would be a mess. Sound effects would either sound like an old record player at the wrong speed or the 1/2 the action would be going on without the sounds. I don't think it would be very enjoyable.
The best way to replay, IMHO, is to pick one portion of the battle and watch that and only that. Then move to a different portion of the battle and watch that and only that.

I knew it was the sounds. Total war has no sounds on half-speed (I still use it though). However I guess panzer command ostfront did somthing differently because they dont have this sound problem.
-
I also love the WEGO system. Perfect for those who play a little slower. And the fact that you don't have complete control means you can enjoy the turn replays. Can't think of many games that allow you to play and rewind the game over and over and over.
Me too but I would also like a slower 1:2 timescale. Things move up a bit too fast in realtime to enjoy all the rich details. PCO and I think first CMs have it so why not CMx2 also?

I just got the email. Its the preorder of the new pills that keep you young and virile.

If Battlefront follows the previous CM they will release a Russian Front next then the Med version. Perhaps there is a September 44 to May 45 version for the western front, yes?
There were three empty places for new disks in the CE and they allready told what they will contain.
-
That's quite a few assumptions there
Also, they didn't exactly promise it Perhaps but since everyone thinks they did its most suitable to just release it now.
-
The website said a few days, almost a week ago
Few days aka two workdays. Thats friday and monday so release is today. Id hate to think that they would break their word.
-
Can players create new campaigns?
-
Its wrong because everyone knows the release date is today.
-
They said 1-2 days after demo and I have always thought them as honorable.
-
Ill give you sugar if you just release the game now.

May 12 --- The Longest Day
This has been the longest and most unproductive day at work I have ever had!!! The only strategies and logistics I am thinking about have to do with taking out MG42's and Panzers!!!!
ONLY ONE MORE HOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!
That sounds just like me! Good to know Im not the only one. I can blame the epidemy.
-
No, there is only pause, 1:1 running, and skip forward/backward.
With interesting scenes I uses the latter a lot, to view the same thing from different angles.
Hmm okay. I guess I have to adjust to that then. I wont complain.
Atleast there is a WEGO. -
Looks great but is there a hotkey for slowing down the replay? Everything moves so fast. Id like it more if I could watch it in slow motion so I can enjoy every detail.
-
If it doesnt run on max settings on my i7@2.8,6Gb,580Gtx I might finally have a good reason to visit the upgradeshop. Hope it takes full advantage of GPUs.
-
Need to work for 6 hours and then work in home too. Dammit. How is the demo? Good, bad, orgastic?
I think Ill try pulling the firealarm here. With good luck if the sprinklers go active Ill get to go home early.
Also, they didn't exactly promise it 
Atleast there is a WEGO.
