Pvt. Ryan Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Even people who hate the game are buying it: Chris says: June 17, 2011 at 2:45 pm I really don’t like the interface. It is very dated and not intuitive. The keyboard scrolling is jerky beyond belief. There is no summary of units so one has to manoeuvre around the battlefield to find units. I completely lost one mortar for an entire game. Furthermore, I dislike the graphics and the methods the developers have used to render them – uses huge system resources and strains my CPU unnecessarily. That said, I did go head to head with Justin and had a really good game once I was able to gain more control of my troops – albeit cut short by the timer. Shame really, because he never got to use his plethora of mg42′s he had in ambush! At the end of the day this is the best game on the market for this type of tactical play, so I will be buying it at some point soon and embarking on a campaign against Justin. Wish me luck because I will need it! Good job, Battlefront 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Now that I've watched your video, it is very well done. You might want to turn on the trees at some point as it really changes that map. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have left those off from the last game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togi Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Nice start. "Reconnaissance by fire" with tanks? shiiiiiiiiiiit. that's a job for infantry ! Go fish em out boys! Spoil alert: I didn't watch all video only first 5 minutes I agree with lookeylou, and I 'm sure while I had been playing this scenario, there was one AT gun behind of bocage seeing your enterence roads where you have entered first by tanks. So this tactics couldn't have been worked all the time.. But good work 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mord Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Very nice. Keep it up. I think it'll peek the interest of a lot of WWII junkies. You might wanna make a short WEGO vid to highlight the turn based aspects of the game, later on. BTW can you record this in your next Vid; "According to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the best drink in the known universe is the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster. It has the effect of having your brains smashed out with a slice of lemon... wrapped around a large gold brick." LMAO. You have the perfect voice.

Dr.Juzzy Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Here’s the final installment of my tortuous odyssey as a US Company Commander. Roll up, roll up, roll up and watch in awe as I foolhardly charge my men across an open road only for it all to end it tears: http://www.modeldads.co.uk/Life-at-the-Front/wordpress/?p=2398 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
