Re: A10 a wee bit over-powerful?

What's the opinion of the Mi-24D Hind-D ?
Its eats up my armor every game so far and hard to kill. I'm a newb and I'm playing Nato (veteran) all the Large sce's in chronological order; I'm 5 battles in so far.
Awesome game and looking forward to more DLC.

Re: Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm scenarios in Southern Storm

Once again I have to say I'm really enjoying FC:SS.
I was wondering if its possible to have access to and use for player designed scenarios using FC:Red Storm and Germany Reforger maps (just the maps - nothing else) ?

I have not played RS or GR but I looked up map hex sizes and they all appear to ...

Re: Main First Impression

Thank you for the quick reply. You knocked it out of the park. So good to see hex map strategy games are not dead.

Re: Main First Impression

I'm a new player to FC:SS but I played Flashpoint Germany many hundreds of hours.

My main reason (for this first post here in decades) is to ask about hex stacking limits.
Is the limit six counters (or units) or is there some other calculation.

So far all I can stack in the same hex in the ...

Re: The Good in FPC

Thank you for the quick reply. So far most of the videos I've watched for FC:RS and Germany Reforged were older vids so I was wondering if their UI had been updated to the new FC:SS system.

I am currently playing the heck out of FC:SS and am considering buying the other two. Doesn't matter if they ...

Re: The Good in FPC

I hope its OK to necro this thread but I don't know where the best place is to ask this question (at the bottom).

I just bought FC: SS after a long hiatus from the Flashpoint games. I played the original (square grid) game Flashpoint Germany (for hundreds of hours). RL and other things led to a ...

Its been a while since I played but I had a green selected hex highlight that showed up better on the stock maps. Is that in here too? However, with the map mods the white highlight shows up good on the above screen shots.<br/>

Thanks US. You pointed out some things I didn't know. I'm definitely going to keep playing COI. I'm enjoying both WAR and COI. ... great games from both fronts

RE: Which Close Combat should I buy?

thanks for the reply and explanation

I now see why. I guess my desire was to have a CC:WAR type of game for the eastern front. I enjoy COI. I just feel like something is missing. COI is the only CC game I'm aware of with Russian vs German combat.

Best regards

<t> thanks for the info<br/>

my only gripe is that COI is the only game of the series that does not have in-game off-map artillery or air strikes. To me, it seems like a big omission. <br/>

Artillery on the eastern front was a big thing. <br/>
