In previous discussions we have ascertained that XConq's saved game files can be read. If Armored Brigade's can too does that not open the possibility of linking the two games using external software? XConq would be the campaign manager for Armored Brigade and at last we might have dual level ...

Boo!

Tried to buy Armored Brigade II this morning but could not find the DVD option. It seemed to be Download version only.

Does that mean that there is no DVD option; or was I pressing the wrong buttons?

Can that AI draw maps?

I know it won't be able to code the under-the-bonnet stuff, but what about the top-down orthographic view?

Don't know the answer to your question, but this thread deserves a "bump"; and maybe transfer to a more general forum.

I can foresee a problem.

Troop formations in the age of black powder were close packed and linear. Armored Brigade restricts the number of troops able to fit on a tile.

I suppose there were a couple of decades at the end of the black powder era when breech loading had been invented but "smokeless ...

I don't have a copy of Fortress Italy.

Does the editor include small units which could be construed as guerrillas?

I'm thinking of civilian clothing, chaotic unit sizes and ad-hoc weapons.

Would the game allow them to be pitched against one another (armed mob versus armed mob) ?

Fingers crossed for the new game

So, I was asking artificial intelligence about war game campaign management, and it came up with something I'd never heard of before.


I'm guessing that this is professional software.

Either that or Poe has had too much whisky on its cornflakes?

wargaming was supposed to have a social engagement function

Wargaming is many things to different people, and, don't get me wrong, I enjoy the craic at the local club. They are a great bunch of guys; but I still enjoy solo play at home.

The advent of computer games with their built in opponent ...

Dear Nathan,

Have just found your thread over at Battlefront.

https://community.battlefront.com/topic ... -campaign/

The two threads should really be linked but I can't post over there.

... and Cheers!

I really do like the idea of something like a hex and counter operational level boardgame design as a generator of AB tactical battles. I believe this should be a different game, a meta-game if you will, and not necessarily integrated into AB.

I did wonder if Unity3D could fulfil this need. More ...

Have often wondered what the NATO graphic for a Victorian ship would be!

This sounds like a good idea. ATG is potentially an excellent campaign manager.

Intersting

There is a similar problem with ATG, which I guess reflects the two games' common heritage.

Besides making it impossible to move the capital, as per the examples you have provided, it makes a true guerrilla war impossible, as there is always one hex which *must* be defended.

I dont know what Close combat is lol.

No worries

The Close Combat games are a series which go back to the 1990s.

Are there any plans to add voice lines for different units in AB II, such as when you click a unit ...

These are very good looking maps

Do you mean Armored Brigade with the 1943 mod?

By "CC3 strategic AI" do you mean MMCC III ?
