The big fat FAQ of everything

Post by RFalvo69 »

[NOTE: I wrote the following while I was drunk. It could have been longer, but, since I don't plan to get drunk again soon, here it is.]

What do all those propaganda promises actually mean? What the very title of a game can tell you about it? What follows is a brief FAQ written as a guide for those who are just approaching the noble art of wargaming!

Turn based - AGC will not move a tank until it is clear how AGN is doing.
Continuous time - Stop’n’Go.
WEGO - Up in the air.
Unparalleled detail! - More detail on the XVI Panzer Division than ever its commander bothered to learn.
Unparalleled logistical detail! - The XVI Kitchen Sink Battalion is in the game.
Unparalleled OOBs’ research! - Tigers actually fight T-34/85 with air and artillery cover, but you only hear BOOOMS and see the result.
Innovative! - The Germans have one extra mechanised phase.
Card driven! - No Kasserine until you draw it.
Reworked UI! - Same buttons, different places.
Reworked AI! - Same level, different mistakes.

"Yes darling, I served in the Navy for eight years. I was a cook..."
"Oh dad... so you were a God-damned cook?"

If I were to do that on this forum, I'd likely get permabanned [:D]
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.
