Looking To Pick Up This Deal of the Week Game

[Missouri_Rebel]

Before I do though, I,ve read that there are unresolved supply concerns. Is this true and can they be dealt with by disabling certain settings?

Thanks,

O.K. Thanks for the heads up and good luck with your surgery recovery. I actually had a surgery last thursday and each day the pain is just a little bit better, still way too much. Goin stir crazy being home all these days but plenty of stuff happening here to keep me busy.

I'll be buying either tonight or tomorrow morning based on your post.

Thanks again,

and done. BftB and HttR

[navwarcol]

It is definitely worth the pick up. I see that you already did, welcome! lol.

[Missouri_Rebel]

TY. Have HTTR fired up and am playing now. Nice looking game. If only I knew what I was doing.

[Missouri_Rebel]

Shouldn't there be a recon order for recon units? What would be the correct way to order this recce unit to move up tracks quickly form up in woods shown and then recon towards possible enemy positions to try and gain strength info? I assume a delay is a delaying action that I can use to hold a line during withdrawal?

Ah. Nevermind. I see that they are traversing in vehicles. Still, is there a recon order or is it probe I'm guessing? Probe seems more contact related.

[navwarcol]

For recon I use move, and just use short distances, with aggressiveness, ROF, and losses all the way down so that they will not decisively engage. Probe probably works the same.

[captskillet]

MoReb, I usually do a probe with aggro, loses, etc set at min.

[Missouri_Rebel]

Thanks for the suggestions. I need to read up on this baby. Plus, I am burnt out of my current game system. Need a break.

I wish those dang counters got a wee bit bigger as I zoomed in. Would help these middle aged eyes, which are much worse than older eyes. Right now Im still in the no glasses denial stage.

From my perspective, TOAW was the standard for YGIG simulation of operational combat issues.

In BftB, if you hit the "tilde" button (~), the unit displays become less intrusive on the observed terrain at the expense of less defined on map administrative information. Once you've reduced the unit size, it becomes imperative that the left side of the screen be used to command and control your units.

Requires more clicks, but provides a better view of map, and combat information.

MR been wearing glasses since I was 9..don't fear them..plus you can get some real trendy ones these days.

[Missouri_Rebel]

Well the game is interesting, especially this battle. I have so many games and not enough time to play, Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm being one of them. I bought AJE Parthian Wars, but the text is too dang small to enjoy the great map.

I'm not too trendy. I'd probably buy the wood framed glasses.

Is there future expansions coming with this series? a commitment from the developers for the future?

[Arjuna]

Yes we currently have the following projects in the pipeline.

- Cmd Ops 1 (BFTB) new patch
- Cmd Ops 2 with a swag of new features
- Med Pack (Crete, Malta, North Africa et al)
- KOAD Pack (Knock on All Doors - the original German Staff Plan for the Bulge, large maps and forces)
- West Wall Pack (West Wall battles 1944/45)
- Legends Pack (France 1940, platoon line units)
- East Front 1 Pack (Battles along the Chir post Stalingrad)
- East Front 2 Pack (Drive on Stalingrad from Don to Volga)

[budd]

ever decide anything concrete about how you are going to roll them out yet?

[Arjuna]

Shot answer is that we'll be releasing the packs and the engine separately. As to pricing and upgrade policy well I have received a lot of feedback from users about how they would hate for it to be done a certain way for X reasons. There seems just as many X reasons for each option canvassed. I need to focus on this and decide soon. I'm sure that no matter what option I choose I will be berated by some users. Such is life. So I think I'll choose the one that makes my life the easiest and be done with it.

[budd]

you can't please all the people all the time...don't sweat it life's too short.

I'm happy as hell with my war game choices at the moment, Got Command Ops BFTB/HTTR & flashpoint campaigns....... what do i have to complain about[:D]
