Hey guys, I was wondering how does the sandbox campaign works? Am I stuck with the OOB only or can I train new units or what? I am confused as to what can be done with the campaign. So is it just the usual OOB and fighting but just with a layer of strategic map or what?

i'd say make your own mind up with a video on the battle action here<br/>

<t> I am used to the turn-based games from this site and I have heard of Gettysburg and this game. I wanted to expand my war game library and heck I want to play a game about Napoleon. Total War isn't really my thing and the first thing that came to mind when I saw this game was total war but from ...

<t> My main concern is if the game is heavily reliant on making your own scenarios rather than generating random ones. The game looks interesting and I am not a stranger to war gaming prices or prices of games in general since games are expensive here in Australia. It seems like the game is a good ...

I know nothing about ASL and I found this game on the store. The price is a bit scary but is the content worth it?

<t> I think I could hold off until the next patch if they retained the inclusion of the view of the figurines in the main game and in the DAG screen. Like it is a pleasure to mouse over a unit as I am making an army and say "Woah! the Hussite Battle Wagon is so cool I am gonna make a whole army ...

Thanks for the links to screenshots, those are really helpful. Actually, I don't think that the map and unit graphics are worse than the old version. The GUI in general (menus, etc.) are different and in my opinion a bit ...

Okay, thanks for the info. I'll get deeper into the game, and I'm also going to purchase some of the DLCs. Any suggestions on which DLCs are the best ones to start with?

In the end of that forum thread, you can look for more information from the developer of the new engine:<br/>

Is the game easy to mod (for someone who isnt experience in modding nor scenario creation) and are there many player mods and scenarios available that are easy to install?

<t> Ok, I don't have a clue about what squad leader is since I must say I have only dabbled in wargaming for as long as when I found out about matrix games. It is good to know that there are scenarios included in the game. I am a bit disappointed that there are no Japanese units to play around with ...

<t> I have seen different scaled war games here from the easy to pick up and play panzer corps, good mix of complexity and ease of getting in to such as decisive campaigns, to the very detailed ones such as war in the east/west/pacific even to the wizard level Command Modern air and naval operations ...

<t> Anything from VR. Would love a game that bundles the campaign of a DC game and random games of an AT game. IMO, you guys basically changed the face of wargaming after integrating the roleplay part of Barbarossa. As of now I am leaning towards an AT game unless VR is gonna release something grand ...

I just got the game but since I am asked about rail gauges, I would assume that converting those rail gauges ASAP and ensuring you have a working line towards your front would help you a lot with supply problems?

Signed.Heck if matrix keeps this trend up I will buy each and every war game they have. I am disappointed that there was no fedex option though. Crossing my fingers Aussie customs wouldn't mess my package.

<t> Ok, I am familiar with Vic's games and sort of the basics of his games. I would assume this will be like DC. I am new to War in the east and I must say I loved the auto assignment of arties/ support units and the easy to perform air missions. How is the game compared to War in the east in terms ...

Hi,<br/>
<br/>
There are a couple of excellent AARs on some other websites, they helped me a lot to get into the game (some even come with nice "beginner corner" boxes that explain a lot of the basics. It generally makes sense to look ...

I did the tutorial and I don't know how to approach the game. Like in a WW2 game at least I know that running towards a tank destroyer as a tank is bad and getting encircled and cut off from supply is also bad. How do I know how to pick my battles?

<t> I am no veteran of war games but I can say that I managed to play something as simple as panzer corps, intermediate as decisive campaigns and as complicated as war in the east so I can say I wouldn't mind being assaulted (in fact I welcome it!) by details and numbers. Should I get the game? The ...
