Gian Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 After having played almost every WW2 game in existance, I have to say the this one looks particularly sweet. I love tanks and I really have to say that the graphics in the game looks great, with what seems to be a free camera to admire all the action is a big bonus as well. The realism also will be a blessing as I would love to keep Russian tanks at bay with a lonely King Tiger. I do want to ask however, if there would be some replayability built in to this game, that is some kind of Skirmish or free fight mode where you can choose forces and reinforcments and then a randomly generated map and just have a great battle. I really do hope that somehting is planned like that. Also may I ask if you will have different variants of the same tanks available like Panther A, D and G and Henschel and Porche King Tigers, and maybe the early, mid and late Tiger 1's. Will these be different camo schemes as well for the same types, ie Winter, summer, Autumn etc? Thanks for letting me know and I simply cannot wait.

TopGun Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Good thing we are coming to this forum for information about this game, with answers like "Why do you love tanks? They don't love you". Its no wonder the wargaming genre is fading into just 1st person shooters. I LL make sure to tell my friends to purchase this game. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 No on the random map, forces. XML editing will allow you to change forces on an existing map. Different versions of the tanks, some yes, others no. See the list of equipment on the product page. Off the top of my head, 1 version of Panther, 4 versions of Panzer IIs. As for different skins, yes, there are and there is room to include your own. Rune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree wholeheartedly. except for one correction. It should read "Lonely King Tiger" Russian tanks at bay shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unfortunately, and I'm pretty sure here, there won't be "Porche King Tigers" nor "Tiger 1's". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirocco Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 You can almost feel the love. I'm disappointed there's no quick battle function, but hopefully that's another item added to the list for an update, or an expansion of some kind.

Maybe even the map. Feed the utility a text file with the rules for a scenario and the scenario, and the program spits out the the new randomized scenario...

RabidRabbit Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I'm a little confused. So there will be no "quick battles" where you can just purchase your forces and fight against an online opponent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 Thanks for the reponse guys and especially Rune coming in to clarify. I really do sincerely hope that a Skirmish or something like that effect would be able to be added at some stage or as somene here said to randomize the XML file stats so that it at least give us the ability to purchase forces to play on existing maps. I am sure there will be quite of few of those anyway. It does remind me of Blitzkrieg though which I loved so much and still do but I could just never figure out why so many companies are never thinking how important Skirmish is for replayability. THat feature is what I usewd most in Combat Mission. But I will definately picked this one up Skirmish or no Skirmish. I just hope it was designed with moddability in mind.
