Matrix Games Forums

Hello all,

Always looking for the next good thing in gaming and I'm a bit interested in Battlefield Academy (BA) and I have some questions.

1) Anyone here played it? Is it similar to any other games, past or present? Good points \ bad points?

2) How are turns handled, IGOUGO or WEGO?

3) Is LAN play allowed? I always have three pc's (one for me and the missus, one for each of the boys) so it's not difficult to get someone to come over, bring a laptop or a desktop and start a four way game.

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

Regards

1 Reminds me of Steel Panthers in 3D, though not as detailed.

2 IGOUGO

3 Multiplayer is handled by Slitherine's servers. 2 players only. Hotseat is possible.

Simple fun game.

I liked it a lot. The only real problem I had with it is I didn't like how the opportunity-fire behaved. Then again, I have never liked how it behaves in any wargame, and thus am happy when this element is left out entirely.
