Tiller Games Purchased

[Eambar]

I am particularly interested in Jutland and Wolf Pack from the Naval Campaigns series, they fill a gap in my games library. Anyone have a review on how they play?

There's also four demos that can be downloaded for free - nice to try out the system before buying.

Cheers

It is a pleasant surprise to see old games always updated [:)]

Look up Warcraft III: Reforged. Reception was less than "a pleasant surprise". Same goes to a number of other old game "updates".

Grand Theft Auto “Definitive Edition” is this year’s Cyberpunk 2077.

I want SB revamped

Give me multi level buildings. A new ammo feature (put an end to how an MG42 soon becomes a pea shooter in game etc), choose rate of fire, be wounded. Maybe enhance armour side of the game. Reinforcements and ammo restocks. Campaign feature including core units go throughout campaign. Awards issued etc end of campaign scenario\battle etc. Maybe manage issuing of weapons to individual soldier from historical selection. Enhance leader features. Enhance Comms.

All that done we'd have the perfect No1 2D top down turn based tactical wargame esp for WW2 era. I don't think the game worked well in modern era. Though revamped ammo and rof would improve that I'm certain.

Now I got a patch for the “Panzer Campaigns Demo”. Considering that I own more than one PzC title (France 40, Ardennes 44…) my guess is that they are still manually sending around patches - or I would have got mine in a single mail.

Not that I’m unhappy: the PzC series is already fine with the latest patches from HPS.

My update links to JTS purchased games came individually via email, likely to prevent server overload.
If you have JT games purchased from HPS Sims, and you converted them to JTS versions prior to the cut off date, you need to send WD games an email to request links to the new installs. Wasn’t sure from your post if you know this, hate to see you wait for an email that doesn’t ever arrive!

Among many other fixes (not to mention a new, larger map "zoom"), the latest WDS PzC updates have a very important fix for assault resolution (a corrected Alternative Assault Resolution optional rule). All PzC players are urged to download and install the latest and greatest PzC 4.0 versions.

Thanks Michael, I'm working hard here - south of the border in Sydney]

David, for years I have been advocating the potential of this series. Oh please bring it to the East Front, I long for a serious, playable and fun game on the East. I have badgered Rich for years about this series. It has so much potential. Lord knows we need a sensible game on the East that does not involve counting every chicken coop and rusty jerry can east of Berlin.

+1 to the East Front

Michael,

What can I say?




We have inherited a range of projects that are unfinished, still-born or otherwise. As you can see some substantial work was done in this series using the current scale. You can also see we have a full map of Europe (which looks much better with the recent graphical update).

There is no commitment to pick this up and complete it currently, but a lot of the building blocks are there already. I am with you, I had hardly touched this series previously, but it is a great little game system and much more playable with the lower counter density. We are even discussing doing a higher level series (probably corps level/monthly turns) using the same engine to allow a whole war in the East in an evening game (like AH's Third Reich).

More to come, but take this as we have stuff, just not a plan... yet!

Excellent news. [:D]

Bring it on!

That is Company of Heroes 3 wishlist! [;)]I'd like more operational WW'1 titles Dardanelles and Kars& Eastern front against Russians or Arabs combined campaign in a single game, if not sufficient battles for a game. Or seperate game.

Yep but CoH3 isn't 2D top down turn based but more an RTS click fest.

How did I miss this one!
We need this right now. Can you finish and release it by Christmas this year?[:D]

All kidding aside, I am stoked and am looking forward to it.
I would still prefer the current scale and timeframe though.

Cheers,

[EwaldvonKleist]

I am looking forward to the Eastern Front version. Can the game engine handle the logistics aspect on the Eastern Front convincingly from your opinion/experience?

I agree with MichaelT that a game on this scale but less clutter than WitE2 is needed.

We are still looking at the capabilities within the engine. We have a few ideas on how to model the ebb and flow across a campaign without making it too onerous on the player. As mentioned in my previous post we believe we can handle different scales with this engine and that doesn’t mean we will exclude one to support another. In fact we have twelve game engines and we are looking at the potential to use them in periods never previously considered. Squad Battles for Victorian Colonial wars for example. We currently have more opportunity than time!!

Understood, thank you for the update @David.

Take my money NOW !!! [:D]

[Rhetor]

I do sincerely hope that somewhere in the pipeline there are titles simulating the great European conflicts of 1859, 1866, and 1870-71.
I know but a single title that covered this period, which - compared to the scale of the battles and their importance to the history of the continent, - makes this arguably the most neglected period in computer wargaming.

[timmyab]

I would like to see one extra zoom level in these games plus some unit details on the counters in the 2 most zoomed in levels.
