Played for the first time and loved it - a true wargame RTS

Post by Cannon_Jackal »

Because of the Slitherine Anniversary sale decided to try the the renowned Close Combat series, and bought 2 newer titles (I fed up with "hacking" old games to run on modern systems, for example GG Pacific War is still unplayable after of hours of tweaking, which is a depressing disappointment for me)

And for the context I am beta testing Battleplan

In my eyes, when I compare Battleplan with Bloody first, the first feels more like a GenZ autobattler, and the later - like a true wargame RTS. I think, don't fix what ain't broken, and I wish Slitherine/Matrix focused on Close Combat series, instead of trying to please casual gamers with Battleplan.

FTW Close Combat, please keep developing it. I am happy to pay for DLCs and to support the development

Yeah, I totally agree with you - and its development should continue, instead of being shelved. I think The Bloody First is a great platform to build on - DLCs, engine updates, more
