Close Combat: Panthers in the Fog Trailer is out!

[Sigma One]

Since the trailer didn't have the new explosions, I made an animated picture to show it in action. It'a a lot smoother in-game since for an animated gif I had to cut out some frames to make it a small file size (still learning to make it better without losing quality). Just imagine two Shermans pounding away at a house with a MG42 team in it :)



The artillery explosions will usually cover a house and strafing runs are more violent. Still making more!

Looks great. Looking forward to the relase  :)

I've gotta say the pace is slow enough that I have never felt I needed it to be a turn-based game. I wish more "real-time" games moved at that pace.

RTS games can't be played via PbEM...that's the point ;)

I wish they would show the new features (vehicles loading/unloading troops and guns). Can't tell from the video but, it doesn't look like infantry have changed graphically or other wise. Which campaign system are they using (CC3, CC4) or something new?

Tru dat.

Make it turn-based and I'll buy it  8)

Isn't that Battlefront's Combat Mission or something like Panzer Command: Ost Front?

You are right, these are the games that would allow me (us) to play PbEM, but unfortunately CM doesn't work on my Nb and both games look really bad (had CM installed on my previous Nb) even with all settings maxed out. Maybe that's because my Nb is not a gamer machine, integrated gfx card and all (but a shared gfx chip and 8 Gb RAM available should give some decent results anyway - other games look and work fine) and although I am certainly more into gameplay than gfx, a certain base level of eye candyness should be there ;)

I really ought to get a free copy of this game.  8)

TXH Scott :)
would it be possible to let slip out a peek-a-boo(m) abut the zoom levels in PitF too?

[GDS_Starfury]

is there a custom map editor?

[MikeGER]

PitF leaked ingame material (from a beta?) at YT

... that Finnish never zoomed-out, or showed loading/unloading so there is not much really new so see, that is not already in the official trailers....
