RE: Grogs, Start You Engines
Yeah. I'll post them there also.
As a note, those personal screens I posted above are from the Matrix version. I know what you mean though. I try not to use Matrix bandwidth on a game they are not going to be selling.
On the other hand I've purchased at least 50 of their titles not including the ones I've bought for others.
Wonder if we can get a separate screens hot thread for Mius front over there. I do like that community. Asid has been very helpful concerning MF.

How did I miss that there was a detailed Tank Encyclopedia in Op Star? I wouldn't have waited so long if I'd known! I wonder how they could improve on it in Mius Front, it seems extremely comprehensive (the graphs and charts are immensely pleasing).

There was a very good LP on youtube that really helps to understand Operation Star.

RE: Grogs, Start You Engines
Thanks Reb for the update. I have all their other stuff. What holds me back is that it will typically be heavily discounted after a time - usually quicker than other titles. But will pick it up one way or another.
If anyone gets the game let us know here how it is!
Thanks

RE: Grogs, Start You Engines
Well it's coming out as a full featured game for only $35 bucks. That to me is impressive especially how much there is to their games. A great bargain considering current trends imo.
I'm not sure how quick it will be discounted. The mass poliferation of AP:OS and their troubles with Paradox have taught them some harsh lessons.
Either way, glad you got the word.

Asid from The Wargamer posted a pic of a mod that I guess he has access to. I hope he doesn't mind me reposting it here.
Dayuuuum.
It isnt just a pretty face either. These games are DEEP. You get to move your forces on a strategic map and then the battles are resolved in pauseable(sic)real time with heavy strategy. As you know I'm sure rosseau.

RE: Grogs, Start You Engines
I see its also operational (not strategy). Multi-player?...I looked for this but couldn't find anything on it.

RE: Grogs, Start You Engines
bought,downloaded and installed. $34.45 after tax. The tutorials i've went through so far are well done. Game looks awesome.

RE: Grogs, Start You Engines
I didn't get charged tax.
Not sure what I did in messing with the battle editor but I seem to have broken something. Getting error messages. It allowed me to change the parameters to winter and snow but when I hit start got the error which has continued even when reverted.
If there is a way to screw something up, you can bet I'll do it. I want to fart around with it more but after a brutal week, this boy is soent.
Tomorrow.

Reb, I hope you didn't find a big bug or something?

RE: Grogs, Start You Engines
Played my first battle and it's still the good ol' Graviteam game. Shame about some bugs I encoutered in such a short time of playing it. Am I the only one having enemies spawn within meters of your troops after the deployment phase? My guys were well within my own ZOC btw.
Also had some enemy troops loop the grenade throwing animation without any nades exploding and on top of that, them doing it towards their own troops. Go figure.

I haven't experienced any oddities that I know of.
I'll only post one here. A T-34 round flies just over my hull down Tiger and explodes on a hill 800 Meters to its rear.

Was it you that said ordering operation star from gamersgate(graviteam) one gets the disk with all the patches already. I have not with time become any better with getting patches loaded. Actually, seems only getting harder.

RE: Grogs, Start You Engines
I got my original copy from Matrix and its updates has been a real pain at fitst. When I saw it on Steam for a real low price as it is now I bought it all again because they have an automatic update system. I never got the disk from matrix because I think it was Downloader only anyways.
