I shudder at the thought of fighting in pacific jungles as forest battles in european woods already make me pull my hair in frustration.

Seriously?

Mine shipped today apparently. Sceptical about it arriving at all though, due to living in the middle of nowhere, next to nothing in Eastern Europe.

Playing platoon level scenarios is the best fun. Company+ is managable, battalion level and up is a nightmare. For a noobish real time player such as myself at least

I seriously hope infantry manouevers and tac ai get beefed up for the next modern war title...

I don't see why the command couldn't be useful in both situations. My point is the movement should be quicker with "Fast" speed instead of "Quick", with shorter dashes if you plot a single waypoint in a straight line over an open field.

I was thinking about automatic intervals though, if i set one waypoint, the fire teams run about half way there and then stop, but yeah you are right that setting more waypoints would probably work.

I think the Assault command would benefit a lot from simply reducing the distance the fire teams move before going down to cover the other team, the rush should be faster, but shorter with emphasis on firepower, of course it would help if squads could deploy in line for such occasions as well.... In real life it is a rather exhausting manouever as you really try to move as fast as possible to limit the time you are up and exposed to enemy fire. As a real time player i use this command almost exclusively for frontal assaults.

Quietly hoping for Finns and Heeresgruppe Nord AO for next pack.

I definitely need some more practice in pre battle planning, while i try to evaluate terrain, intel on enemy troop compositions etc and make plans accordingly, most of the time i still end up improvising on the move.

http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tt.asp?forumid=818 Link to the user made content subforum on the official Command Ops forum. Also the game is still being updated regularly with patches, beta patches are available on the main forum.

There are community created Ostfront scenarios for Command Ops. http://thesharpendgaming.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Command%20Ops%3A%20Highway%20to%20the%20Reich

Also looking forward to the Waffen SS, associating all frontline SS units with war criminals is just plain ignorance.

You lost me there...

I realise there are probably workaround for these behaviours, otherwise there would be a far bigger outcry to get them. Still a relative noob at this series, so i don't know all the tricks, like the one with cover arc. As a realtime player i feel like adding a button for these behaviours would reduce my workload a bit, could focus more on the big picture instead.

I agree with this. Also there should be a way to get infantry inside buildings fast and agressive, something akin to blast command but with throwing a hand grenade/flashbang (for modern conflicts) through the door instead of blowing up the wall, upon which the entire squad/team storms in guns blazing. Another thing i would like is a hold fire command, using Hide kinda defeats observation.

Damn, one of these moments when i wish i wasn't deployed in the middle of a desert with a doubious internet connection...

Would it be possible to add hover-over tooltips for all the icons on unit information panel?

Tannenberg line should be awesome, though outside of Op Bagration.
