Which first?

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

Which first?

Post by invinciblerobot »

Hi all,

New here. Just bought BFTB and love it even though I'm still very much learning how to play it.

I'm also interested in playing Highway to the Reich now that I know how much I like the game system. Is there a big difference between the two? Has the engine seen significant improvements?

Basically, should I play Highway to the Reich first because after BFTB the game will seem outdated or is it essentially the same?

Thanks!

Cheers,
Morgan

Or ... wait for the next patch, at which time the HTTR scenarios should be available to play using the patched software [:)] - though, if I've got it right, you will have to buy them as an expansion.

What's that? The HTTR scenarios will be playable in BftB?
Should I be worried?

Why would you be worried? This has been on the table for some time, and I've been holding off on buying HTTR for that reason. Personally, I'm really looking forward to the scenarios, as i find Market Garden more interesting than Battle for the Bulge.

I should rephrase: Should my family be worried...? :)
