Hi guys,
Long-time lurker here... I found you guys when I started following the war in Ukraine but realized that a lot of you have a lot of similar tastes. It was JasonPratt posting RobO's Quick Campaign generator for CMx1 that finally encouraged me to sign up (I've been looking for those things forever!!)
My wargaming days started with Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord and Steel Panthers: World at War and that was quite an introduction (I still fire up both of those games to this day). I have most of the CMx2 games also but they just don't quite have the same level of magic for me. Most recently I've finally started breaking through the crust on the Graviteam Tactics games and have been blown away by them.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi and thanks for allowing me to join you guys!
Glad you decided to join and start posting.
Sounds like you'll fit in just fine. Hope to see some of your thoughts on Graviteam Tactics. These titles seem to generate interest in waves around here, but to this day, as difficult as the UI can be to get around, these titles have provided some of the most immersive combat experiences in gaming for me. it is the on thing the series nails like no other!
Welcome aboard!
Thank you, Jarhead. The Graviteam games have taken a lot of patience/strange dedication/research but for some reason I've always known there was something lurking inside there and after about 15 hours of YouTube videos (along with buying some of the smaller operation DLCs), I'm finally starting to see it. And it keeps sucking me in!!
Welcome!
Welcome aboard! :ThumbsUp:
Welcome aboard!
It's always nice to have a fresh player add their inputs on games here. I look forward to learning more about the kind of games you like.
Have fun!
The newest game on the Roster of Unplayed Games for me is Second Front. Which looks like a blast but now that Graviteam has finally managed to get its hooks into me, it's gone back to the "Likely to be Played Someday" list. :Nerd: I've played through maybe 8 of the tutorials though and I'm definitely intrigued by the game. Just need to find a way to add more hours to the day!! :hair:
Also I definitely think Jason Petho deserves a huge shout-out for the Vietnam game. I haven't been able to spend as much time as I'd like with that one (those games are very slow-paced but worth it), but it's awesome what he's been able to achieve with that series.
Welcome DesertFox. Great to have you with us. After a couple of weeks playing Second Front, I've kind of drifted back to CMFI and company for a touch more authenticity in my wargame tastes right now. But I'm sure I will get back to it soon. Anyway, welcome to the club. :ThumbsUp:
Welcome.
Please take a complimentary dongle and report to have the false memory of this fanciful front page wiped.
Glad to have helped bring up a new member!
Those guys working on the new Campaign Series games, are a national treasure. I have no idea how many come from my nation, but that doesn't matter. Whatever nations they come from. :ThumbsUp:
