AAR (Alpha Testing)

Matrix Games and Simulations Canada combine and completely remake two classic NATO vs. Warsaw Pact wargames into a new classic. Based on the original wargames “Main Battle Tank: North Germany” and “Main Battle Tank: Central Germany”, Flashpoint Germany is a new grand tactical wargame of modern combat. Every aspect of modern grand tactical warfare is included, from advanced armor, air and helicopters to chemical and tactical nuclear weapons. Step into the most dangerous war.. . that never was.

I can see that the LOS will be a valuable tool:)

The pics look really good, they show the contours of the land well.

Strangely quiet yes....

I'm going beserk make the game play a little better under Windows 98 and Iain is busy cranking out maps. I have a new stack of interesting little UI improvements to add in too. The maps, BTW, are extremely labour intensive for Iain so I'm not surprised we aren't hearing from him.

It seems to me that day jobs are a factor too, but things are grinding along and the progress is real!

Cheers, Rob.

Still Alive, Still Kicking

Post by IChristie »

I have, indeed been working on the next map - #4 - "Three Sisters" set in the Fulda Gap area. The map is about half done. I'll try to post some shots once the first draft is done. Due to RL commitments, that probably won't be for another week or so.

Each map takes between two and three weeks to complete right now.

Just to keep everyone satiated for the next little while here's a little bit of eyecandy - a screen shot of "The mother of all Scenarios". Elements of a whole Motor Rifle Division descend on a US Tank heavy brigade group.

I really appreciate the AAR`s and hope more are forthcoming, as well as interface and gameplay details when they are finalized.

From just the screenshots and reports, I for one would preorder with payment now.

Thanks

Hey Iain, any updates on the map?
