franz Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 One of the main reasons I want this game is so I can admire the action and the scenery. If I am going 'hell for leather' clicking and scanning just to keep up with the enemy in real-time, then how do I find time to sit back and actually "enjoy" the game ??? This is why I hate Medieval Total War 2. There is absolutely no time for savouring the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franz Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 that is a big reason why Combat Mission was so cool. After the turn, you had 1 minute of free time at least to sit back, take a breath, and watch in full cinematic glory, your orders being implemented.

No pause for orders, no game (IMO). Turns, pauses and other loss pre-emptive features are crutches for old ladies. Stretching out play to hours, days or even months in a tactical situation where units would run out of ammo in a half-hour or less is a total joke. Unless of course, what you really want is an animated miniatures game, rather than any sort of deeper wargame experience, an essential ingredient of which is time-pressure. And if someone can't stand to lose, they ought to go play checkers with a pre-schooler. PoE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
