Madmatt Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 As promised last week, we are happy to make available a newly updated Theatre of War Demo which encorporates the new advances offered in the recent "Uber" patch. This new game version offers much better performance over the original demo as well other improvements that have been introduced into the game over the past few months. These include a new advanced Line of Sight system, better AI behavior and improved combat and weapon modeling. This single player only demo features 5 tutorial missions which cover the basics of gameplay, unit control and camera behavior as well as more advanced topics like Line of Fire and Line of Sight. In addition to the playable tutorials there is also one playable mission from the new German Panzer Lehr Campaign. In this battle, tank units of the British 7 Armoured Division attempt to outflank your positions in order to capture the strategically key town of Villers-Bocage. Can your beleaguered troops stop this assault in the face of tough odds and overwhelming airpower? Play the demo and find out! Playable units and weapons in this battle include; StuG III Ausf. G, PzKpfw IV 70 Jagdpanzer and PzKpfw IV Jagdpanzer Tank Destroyers, RPzB 54 Panzerschreck, Panzerfaust-30's, Panzerfaust-60's and PWM HE Grenade Anti-Tank Weapons, PaK 35/36 L45 37mm and PaK 40 L/48 75mm AT Gun's, SdKfz 7/1 20mm Flak 38 and FlakPz 38(t) Anti-Aircraft vehicles, Panzer IV Ausf. H tanks plus infantry units equipped with a wide variety of small arms and machineguns. http://www.battlefront.com/products/tow/demo.html Madmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAM255 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 The game look better now. I need to try it some more tomorow. If the mp had a lobby and many players, I'd buy that game right away. CC3 was fun because of the multiplayer, sp was just for practise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockinHarry Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 May it bee the Gamershell site, Europe, United Kingdom Line, just offers the "old" Demo? I downloaded, installed and after launching saw the 1.2.x version demo, with the tutorials, but no Panzer Lehr scenario. Just the Seelow height scenario was there. :confused: File properties tell of an April 18th, 2007 built. Now trying another download from Internode Games Network.

Madmatt Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Yeah, it looks like at least one of the mirrors was still linking to the old demo. I have asked them to recheck to be sure they are now linking to the proper 588 meg demo version, not the older one.

Robban Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Much better than the first demo. infantry can take out tanks easily... good. would like to know how a joint attack by tanks infantry would work... if its gonna be sharpshooting tanks as in the first demo where the tanks were sniping infantry. i dont like the planes... but hey... guess the germans didnt like them either. a question... were the mobile AA as effective in real life as in the demo?

TankCommander Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hi, how long is the total battle duration of the new Panzer-Lehr demo, because after some attacks by Britsh Armor I don't know what shall I do as next step to win. Best Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 There are no time limits in Theatre of War. I don't recall the specific scenario (maybe someone else here can give tips), but you should probably regroup and send out recons into map areas not yet occupied. You can also call up the mission briefing screen, which usually shows the next tasks to be completed. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
