Great news. Any reports of bugs in the game so far?

Watched a short Youtube video of the Town Too Far scenario.  Seemed like the US Elite Rangers broke very quickly in some cases.  Looking forward to more opinions here on how it plays.  Thanks.

Downloaded - so strange to have it drop on a workday morning, but that ought to help with the server load I guess.  No issues downloading and installing - it was amazingly quick in fact.  Tried the first tutorial and messed around the map editor. Looking forward to more after work.

Are victory conditions based on map objectives and/or exiting a certain amount of units?

Don't have the game but I've watched the Town Too Far scenario played twice by different streamers.  The objectives for that one are on the map and there were no victory points for exiting units.  Also, the objectives decreased in value each turn and if they got to 0 before being captured then the Americans lost.

Saw a negative review on Steam where some guy played the game for half an hour, criticized it for being "too easy," then complained that he lost the first mission because he didn't complete the objectives.   :uglystupid2:

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.

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.

It is scenario specific. Points can be awarded for seizing and/or holding objectives, eliminating enemy assets and units, or exiting units from the map.

Oh hell.

I made up my mind not to engage with this game launch as I was going to pick up the Spellforce game in February but I made the mistake of "just dipping into" this thread to see how things were going and then watching a couple of You Tube  videos on it.....and then checking out the reviews on Steam.

Looks like Spellforce may have to wait a bit.... :undecided:

What IS this thing you call, 'work'? I caved. Smart move getting it in under $40. That'll help sales a lot.

It's where I get most of my best gaming in. 

Although, I'll admit this one's gripping.  I almost missed a podcast appearance I had scheduled getting engrossed in this.

I picked up the game today after telling myself 'No, not without randomly generated maps, scenarios and/or campaigns.

It installed ok under Windows 11 Arm64 under Parallels under MacOS Monterrey(?). Starts and plays w/o issue. resolution is 2540 x something.

And......I can't play it today b/c of dialysis issues.

Specwise, the laptop I'm using has 16gb ram, large SSD and an M1 cpu.
