Thinking about buying

[demyansk]

I like this game as well. I was wondering, could you have the pbem system in this game that's similar to DC3? I haven't tried a pbem game yet, still playing the scenarios.

The developers do a good job answering questions like Jason and Crossroads

[Jason Petho]

What is DC3?

[budd]

Decisive Campaigns Barbarrosa, third in DC series. Probably talking about slitherines pbem+ system

[Jason Petho]

Ahh, thanks, budd!

[Crossroads]

budd, since you own both right: How's the DC3 PBEM different from CS one? Does it use Sllitherine PBEM++, or?

[budd]

I don't pbem, but I'm guessing the poster is referring to the pbem++ system. You sign in and post challenges or accept challenges, and it has some anti cheat system. Not sure if it emails you when you have a turn. Saves are on a server which I believe can be pulled by devs for bug issues. Don't quote me on any of this just what I've read. A bunch of Matrix/Slitherines games use it.

[Crossroads]

OK thanks budd. I am familiar with PBEM++ from Flashpoint Campaigns, was not sure what DC3 uses as I don't have the game. I just might have to buy it though, looks like a fun one!

Correct. Great system too! You do receive an e-mail of a turn being ready to play. I love PBEM, but this server has work well for me since BA1 [:)]

So how does it work with Steam enabled Matrix games do you know? I assume the same, right. You initiate a game and it contacts the M/S servers and kicks off from there?

Bought it now. Looking forward to trying it out. First I'll get the mods going though.

[Crossroads]

Thank you for your support Peter, hope you will enjoy it! [:)]

[Phoenix100]

Thanks!

But....as per your previous roadmap posts .....is it really still going to be 15 months before you release Vietnam and the WW2 title?

[Crossroads]

We're putting a lot of groundwork at the moment, with CS:ME 1.03 taking a lot of benefit from that too. Then, it would be quicker to start rolling games out, as most of the difficult stuff is there already. That's the plan at least [:)]

[Phoenix100]

Thanks. Hope it all proceeds smoothly and profitably.

I am thinking about buying this as well. I have not played a title like this in the past, more of a panzer corps, order of battle player. Do you think I will struggle to pick the game up?
Thanks!

[zakblood]

no not at all, it's different from panzer corps, order of battle but same as it's a counter moving game with more depth

[Rgonsman]

This I will give it a shot!
Thanks!

[zakblood]

i'm sure you will enjoy it, it's a step up from what you have been playing so are more than ready for the next challenge & depth

[Crossroads]

Thanks blitz1945 for your support [:)]

Happy hunting, any questions let us know!

Welcome aboard. It defiantly will be a step up and your also changing time frames so the equipment will be a lot different. It will be easy to jump in and move stuff, just start with the smaller scenarios and do the tutorial with the manual open. I believe all toolbar options have tooltips and F2 and F3 are your friends for looking up equipment, I use F3 all the time. Start small, enjoy yourself and ask questions and if your a pbem fan I always have room for another game, I'm brand new to pbem.
