Anybody somebody says something about how "hex and counter" games are too stale and aren't exciting anymore, I want to link to this thread.   :smitten:
A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

Hex and Counter games are my bread and butter, and this looks like it's going to be a feast for the ages :D

The more I see of this game the more I like it. O0
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

While I am not really interested in hex-based games, I have to compliment you on the graphics!

It looks really neat!

Best regards

Any idea how much longer ?

Cant wait for this ...
"you are the rule maker, the dictator, the mini- Stalin, Mao, Hitler, the emperor, generalissimo, the MAN. You may talk the talk and appear to be quite easy going to foster popularity, but to the MAN I say F*CK YOU." And Steve G is F******g rude ? Just another day on the BF forum ... one demented idiots reaction to BF disagreeing about the thickness of the armour on a Tiger II turret mantlet.

Any chance for a setting with slightly smaller NATO icons? In some screenshots it looks a bit cluttered. Might differ once I play the game, but just an idea.

In this short video we illustrate how we create maps for the "Second Front" Campaign. (with voice)

Love what you're going for with the 'sense of continuity' with persistent campaign map.

From early on Second Front has given me Combat Mission Barbarossa Berlin feelings, which are great nostalgia in my mind.

One request, please balance it so that we can have infantry vs infantry games that can give a developing firefight feel. Perhaps making infantry on infantry squad wipes in one turn not too frequent or easy without significant local superiority. Reason is I find turn based games that wipe squads in one turn never feel like a decent firefight and leave me feeling unsatisfied.

Edited. Thought popped in.
Possibly the games with suppression levels being significantly important help pull this off. By making the infantry on infantry being induced to be more about pin and manoeuvre in closer to get the actual breaks, surrenders and whole unit kills.

Also, something about how John Tiller Squad Battles does the amount of fire back and forth whose ever turn it is adds hugely to the feel of a decent, prolonged firefight.
