okay good that helps with immersion

oh ya assault move makes sense

Ypres should be a good one. Looking forward to it.
It is nice you are adding more to this nice game.

I also yearn greatly for a Gallipoli DLC. Imagine a zoomed in version of that battle like you did with Okinawa in the Strategic Command Pacific War - a sheer delight for fans of Gallipoli. I love ...

We can still see the classic soldiers on the counters when we hover the mouse over the counters right?

Those town battles sound very fun and fairly evenly fought it seems.

What does "they advanced into town using marching fire"? I imagine a column of redcoats firing musket volleys at buildings while marching into the town. There must be a WW2 version of this.

Sounds harrowing for the hapless Germans who are trying to retreat to Carentan. At least they had a nice little delaying battle at the hamlets and bridge. Hopefully they can make it to safety before the fierce paratroopers set upon them.

Thanks for your reply Portunus.

I just saw an animated video of the Stavelot crossroad and it was really a full disaster for the Germans. I guess me losing badly every time is a realistic result.

Here is the video I watched. If you are fan of the Wehrmacht, brace yourself for a lot of bad luck ...

thanks. I will buy this game.
Wish more people were posting in this forum.
The game looks really good in the screenshots and a steam friend is playing it so I found out about it.

Thanks Darwin. I attached a couple of saves from that game.

okay I found the saves using that resume line. I didn't know that was shown in game.
The saves are in the Slitherine game folder of this in the Modules folder.
But I can't find any way to attach a save to this post.

[attachment=][/attachment] doesn't seem to work

Is there an email I can send a ...

I searched vigorously in that user documents folder and the Flashpoint Cold War only has one folder inside "Launcher"
I can't find the saves anywhere even using file name search.
I am using Windows 7 so maybe it stores it different? I doubt it because that folder "My Games" is loaded with other ...

I live for campaigns.
But I always play through the scenarios first in these games and in others as training and for fun, before getting into the campaigns.
So both scenarios and campaigns are vital for me.

CaptDarwin: I didn't know the AI adapts to battlefield conditions like that. It is true their T-80s were massacred early in their approach along with two teams of BDRMs scouting and a lot of BMP-3s too. I think if those 3 stacks of mech inf had attacked, I would have been in trouble because I lost a ...

Hello I just played Race to Fulda as the goodguys on grognard with random Soviet plan

I did real good.... actually too good compared to my usual mediocre to dismal results. I knew something was wrong when I whooped the badguys and got a Decisive Win which is very rare for me. The final report ...

Sounds like a fun infantry battle in Tulle. The German reservists did well despite low numbers against the untrained guerillas. Interesting how numbers slowly overcame the more professional trained soldiers. I supposed the German reservists were not well-trained but just adequate with radios to help ...

Oh wow the battle for Vulle sounds very intriguing. I don't know about that history.

I found a large book in the library about the Vercors operation by SS mountain troops to flush out the french resistance up on the famous mountain plateau. It was small in troop #s compared to the frontlines but ...

Brian Kelly is busy working on Overlord Steam + his day job.

How ‘bout you and I playing a scenario + writing an AAR? You pick the scenario and sides.

All the best,

Hello Don

I didn't know you were playing against the developer in this game. That must be tough.
Sorry I can't play a ...

That Maquis battle for the sleepy town of Tulle sounds very unpredictable. I guess poor Tulle will be riddled with small arms fire soon. The communist Maquis were nasty so I am cheering for the Germans to win this battle.

This is really cool. I like the screenshots.
Please continue and do more AARs of this game.

I missed your top down post.
I do like the top down view as well. I guess it is kind of more realistic looking and less like a board game.
Your cards of both styles look very good. I will try both styles, even though I said I prefer the unit cards. I might get to like the top down view as well. It ...
