Red2112 Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 1 hour ago, Apocalypse 31 said: I saw this one on Steam last week. Its not typically a period that I favor but damn....that's a really clean UI and I'm really digging what they're doing with the combat mechanics. Wishlisted and will probably pick it up on release Glad you like It Apoc. The aesthetics are a bit fantasy like, but like you I dig the combat mechanics, and yeah the overall UI and aesthetics Is quite pleasing and clean. I am on the fence between this and Armageddon Empires which I also like although It´s a bit outdated on the graphics but don´t mind. Shadow Empires sort of feed of this game, but It´s not as hardcore as SE from what I can tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red2112 Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 (edited) Second Front This has been In the works for quite some time now, dev seems like a nice guy from my days on the Matrix forum.

Red2112 Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 1941 Operation Barbarossa, based on the board game title, this Is just a adaptation of it In a digital version. No AI but you can hot seat It (local) and/or PBEM. Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2236080/1941__Operation_Barbarossa/ Original board game on BGG: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/6916/1941-operation-barbarossa Haven´t checked, but my guess Is that you can play this on Vassal too, that´s If there´s a module for It. Could be that It´s also available as a mod for TTS. This digital version just makes It hassle free IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red2112 Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 (edited) Would have liked this to be for none fictional warfare as It has all the right chrome for a tabletop wargame adaptation, but I am fine with It being for Battletech. Never got to play my copy (tabletop) of Battletech back then, so yeah this makes up for It, and you can still play coop or PVP online. Yes I know that there´s a digital version of Battletech on Steam which I have, but for me It´s not the same. Cheers.

I'm playing all thing Mech Glad to read that CS, and you´re welcome. BTW, you can use (download) MekHQ v0.49.11 as long as you use It with JDK17 which Is what I am using. If you have any Issues just let me know and I´ll try to help. I really like what they have done here, and there´s a bunch of game play In here tbh. There´s another game called Mech Merc Company on Steam which I bought on sale some time ago. The problem Is the dev (solo) needs help finishing the game and well no funds, but It´s pretty cool game as Is and In some way better then the newer stuff. It´s more oldschool MechWarrior.

Red2112 Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 (edited) Battle Brothers, Is a turn based tactical RPG with deep combat mechanics. Not for the faint hearted as you will lose a lot of men In all you´re playthroughs, but really worth the time Invested. I am sure a lot of you already know about BB, a bit like X-Com but historical and deeper. BTW, It´s still being updated although It came out In 2017, and has three available DLC´s. It´s on sale at GOG and Humble Bundle at 50% off. A very helpful series If you want to learn BB... Edited January 24 by Red2112 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don´t forget to reboot after each of the above steps (two). You're a lifesaver, I got it to work. Played it every day since Friday My review is very very positive: it is a super deep wargame, with tons of rules etc. They 'just' ported the Battletech tabletop game into a videogame, but they ported ALL of it, which makes it one of the most complex games I have played. It's got a strategy layer, Sims-like personnel management, all the fluff from Battletech, and Xcom-deep tactical game... Love it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
