"Buildings are good to fight from." There's considerable debate about this on the BFC forums. Buildings - especially the 2nd story or higher - seem to be killboxes for your troops under many circumstances. The wooden buildings, in particular, seem to be good only for observation. Putting troops inside of wooden buildings makes them very vulnerable to enemy fire once spotted, and they seem to be spotted quite quickly and easily.
Geoff it's a few years now since you released your first CM tactics video, but they're still the best on RU-vid. Any chance you'll produce a tactics video for Eastern Front specifics, or maybe winter tactics one CM Battle of the Bulge (of Final Bitzkrieg) is released? Or maye ooking at the doctrines emploed by the various particiants. Either way, thanks for this great series
Yah its similar but better balanced I'd say and without the annoying issue of an enemy being able to see and kill your entire squad if even one guy is exposed. Combat mission is easily one of my top games of all time. You should play it if you haven't.
WHOA----I'm on last 3 missions of 16 missions --single campaign and found nothing like the scenes in the video ??? Where is all this TANK ACTION --What mission(s) ? Or is this something else (edited battles or some such other than SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN MISSIONS ???????? Thanks
@IcyScythe -----Correct---------Please advise where the TANK centric Missions are ? Thank you for taking the the time to educate me here > Jim P.S. This game is great !!!!!!!!!
@heyedmond wego is the only way I and many others play. Unfortunately the game lacks tcp-ip wego like CMx1 games, but other than that it's just as good. Also there is no armor cover arc command, but on the upside there are advantages, for example you can issue cover arcs and area fire orders from multiple waypoints.
@ss11955 just read the descriptions of the campaigns and battles in the game. I haven't played it yet but it's a good bet that the "Panzer Marsch" campaign features lots of armor given its name.
I have a great computer: an Alienware ALX58 with Intel i7 CPU, 12 GB of RAM, dual GTX 295 nVidia graphics cards. Though three years old it runs all software wonderfully. I am a huge fan of Alienware.
I am sure you can get an equally or more powerful, self-built, computer for less. But I don't have the inclination, time, or expertise to do so. For those who do, I applaud their skill and economy. I will point out that the Alienware machines I have purchased are rock solid in their performance with each component balanced to insure maximum throughput.
How does this game compare to the older CM games? I hear that this one has a real time pausable and the original turn based mode. So which mode is preferable to play the game in? Does the turn based mode feel natural or does it feel just added in to appease the older fans?
hey, i'm considering purchasing this ame. i already have Men of War Assault Squade. The two games clealy share some similarities, but can anone give me a brief comparison between the two?
Im building this. CPU - i5 sandy bridge OC'd to 3.8 RAM - RipJaw 8GB 1600Mhz Gpu - EVGA GTX670 2GB Cpu - Corsair 650w For $1680NZD.An alienware with similar specs is about $2150 In my country. You have a nice build but you could of saved a load of cash.I guess all that matters is if you're happy with product.
I realized that knowing how the terrain looks like is almost crucial. But u cant have this kind of vision in a actual battlefield, how do u cope with that problem in rl?
He sounds like a narrator on the History channel. Well, the History channel back when it had anything to do with History. Stupid History channel with your stupid reality shows. I guess I should have said "The Military Channel". Man, I wish the History Channel was still awesome, a place to see fascinating shows on all kinds of history. There's no one good channel like that anymore.
Yet you payed 20% for the name alienware and the alien head power button.You could of spent the same amount you spent on your alienware and built a PC x2 more powerful.
