HPS France '14

[Rosseau]

I must be getting old (55), impatient, or both. There was just no way I could deal with France '14 from a micromanagement perspective. Just moving the units, especially because they are so much slower a la WWI, the pace of the game seemed glacial. But at least you guys like it [:)]

Does this game have small scenarios that allow commanding 2 levels of command down?

I can't find an answer to my question there.

Click on "Details" and it will give you number of turns and a description of the scenario. (SM means "size modifier" which, unless you're active on the ladders, doesn't mean much)

It doesn't write number of units, though, which is the thing that interests me the most. A low number of turns doesn't help much if I have to command an army brigade by brigade or something like that.

Hi Perturabo,

I haven't got this game yet, although I want it and I am waiting very patiently for HPS to finally release it in downloadable form. From what I understand, it's very similar to the Panzer Campaigns series and if that's the case, all of those games have scenarios ranging from as small as 10 or so unit per side, up to many hundreds of units per size.

I see no reason why this would be difference, but you might have more luck posting on the HPS section of the Wargamer forums or by sending an email to HPS and asking them.

Cheers

Try www.theblitz.org under the "TOC" section. They have a tournament going on right now.

Wow, I had forgotten how dated the HPS engine's graphics are, but there's no denying that it's easier to see that ridge to the South of Charleroi in the 3D mode.

I don't need the latest graphics to make me happy, but something above 256 colors would be nice...ufda!

doesn’t matter how fancy the chess board is, its still chess.........[;)]
