very complex?

Post by jnpoint »

Hi
I love turn-based war games. And this looks promising, but also very complex. Right now I can't decide which game to get Wego ww2: Stalingrad, DC: Ardennes Offensive, or this?
Does anyone have those games and could compare them for a new player?
For me, it does not matter how long a turn or game takes to play, but it is very important that I can use several tactics and not only play with units in one long line if you understand what I mean?
Thanks.

I have played the entire DC series, Vic creates great games....DC Ardennes, however is a Grand Tactical game.
CS:Vietnam is a Tactical game....if you grasp the difference you have your answer.

Re; Any game 'Stalingrad' no longer intrigues me..the very best Stalingrad 'game' I ever played was a user created scn. for SSG's Battles in Italy game engine......that only comes once a lifetime in the gaming world :lol:

One thing you can do is take a look at the videos I've been loading. They will help you show what the game play is like.

You can find the channel here:

Thanks.
I really like that you can do so many engineering tasks and have so many special abilities. That gives the game a lot of tactical possibilities. I'll watch the videos.

Yes, for all that it can do, it still remains quite simple.

There is a lot of thought in each of your moves though, that's where the complexity lies. Especially as you play larger/longer scenarios.
