Guest Silesian-jaeger Posted September 21, 2000 Share Posted September 21, 2000 This site has the Panzer General III demo, the Waterloo real-time game preview and a Close Combat 5 review (for those who care). PS. If you look at Close Combat see if you can find a Stug in a beach scene! ------------------ "In one (German) town, Private Honey stood next to an elderly German man and a ten-year-old boy. As the Shermans and brand-new Pershings rumbled by the boy said,'Deutsches Panzer lind besser.' Honey looked down at him and asked,'If German tanks are better, why aren't they here?'

virtualfreak Posted September 21, 2000 Share Posted September 21, 2000 Ahhhhhh I remember when the first Close Combat came out.It had to be the best war game that I had ever played at the time.But now Combat Mission has arrived and The Close Combat series is I am afraid to say as good as dead. Combat Mission is just more fun to play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamstersss Posted September 21, 2000 Share Posted September 21, 2000 Favorite quote from the CC5 preview: "Each soldier is armed with a historically accurate weapon, and Atomic seems pretty skilled at assigning valid values to these tools of the trade. You're not likely to find anything grossly out of whack here. Of course, you have to take a lot of the research on faith. It's usually a bit hazy how each weapon affects its target. You'll have to rely on general rules like "machine guns do a good job of killing infantry" and "the 75mm AT gun is better against tanks than the 37mm AT gun," rather than memorizing a chart of attack and defense values—there isn't one." ------------------ Did someone compare this to the Ealing comedies? I've shot people for less. -David Edelstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellros Posted September 22, 2000 Share Posted September 22, 2000 There is also supposed to be the review of Hasbro's Squad Leader on Friday (9/22). Their newsletter even said it is "nothing like the famed board game". I suppose we'll see. -Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
