Really nice vids -- thanks for posting Jason -- does Agrippa frequent these forums? Can't recall seeing him around. I enjoy his YouTube presentations.

Tip of the hat to Hofstadter too -- nice work.

Small, quick battle. Played as Germans

There are enough tanks to carry your infantry except for the mortar crew and possibly make it to the Victory Location via the main road before a coordinated attack from the enemy arrives.

Unzip in your Data/Common/Shared/Missions folder. If you do not have the Mission folder create one and unzip it there.

Finally got a chance to play this, had an intense battle in the forest. One thing, no planes showed up for either side and my spotter didnt seem to have any available, something to do with setting up unit characteristics during battle editing,i've had trouble with this also. I got a total victory and it ended about 19:42. I set up my armor on the far left deploy zones and ran it up the left side with the clear fields and swung it around to the right and came at the VP from the back side. My infantry i set up back and left from the VP in that ravine, gully and they held there own even against the tanks. Took about 18  minutes for the tanks to swing around into place and then an intense 20 minute battle raged.My tanks pretty much hit there attacking force in the flanks and ripped up there follow on infantry. 3 of their tanks ventured into the trees and got taken out by infantry and flank fire form my tanks. The enemy had 30% of its force left and only 1 fully functional tank, i lost 1 tank. I got some good screen shots i'll post in the screen shot thread. Thanks for sharing the battle, that battle in the forest was intense fun.

I wish someone would explain the new spotting procedures.

One of the reasons I really like Graviteam is because of the amount of post release support they offer. Many of their previous patches would be chargable if offered by another known company that offers the closest game in the genre.

LOL. Seems that ways sometimes.

And then there are the games where your entire force is obviously combat ineffective, the enemy completely outnumbers you, but you win a minor victory.

I wasn't planning on capturing this random meeting engagement, but it got pretty intense towards the climax of the battle so I hit the record button. Enjoy...

Nice Vid... was that a quick battle or campaign? When you zoomed down on that german soldier, was that a death moan he croaked out before dying. Game just has some cinematic moments.

[Jarhead0331]

This was a quick mission. It was one of the "surprise me" scenarios. Turned out to be a meeting engagement of two mechanized scout companies. I was surprised at how well my Russian troops held it together.

Wounded troops definitely cry and moan.
