Any impressions?  Mostly curious how many of the missions are infantry based....I am not really good with vehicles so much prefer sticking to infantry.  Tempted...

New content looks very cool, if rough around the edges.  I hear the map is huge and has tons of fully detailed enter-able buildings.  Will pick this one up for sure.
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.

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.

Still torn on this, seems to be getting some tough feedback....also, saw the following below which is from one of the developers of the content....has me a little concerned if this will be improved/supported if there is potential disagreements going on.  Anyone playing it yet with thoughts?

^That is really off-putting to read. I can't think of any developer that has shown more support, dedication and loyalty to their game and fans than BI. Their consistent support and improvement of their products and love to their modding community is second to none. This makes those comments very curious to me and I find them hard to believe. There is usually more than one side to any argument.

Otherwise, I am enjoying the DLC. The briefings are very well done and the missions are good too, albeit challenging. The second mission is a real slog so far.

Thanks, appreciate the feedback, leaning towards getting it.  Do you know how many of the missions are pure infantry?  I am not great with vehicles so not sure if would be too hard for me.

No idea whether the comments are true or not, but the fact the developer went public (unless this is fake news), can't imagine it will help their relationship and just wonder how they will be able to work together in supporting it.

No idea about overall mission content. The first mission is a nice infantry assault on a town supported by some APCs...the second mission, though, already places the player in the role of commanding a tank platoon and it's packed with enemy tanks, BMPs, anti-tank infantry and pretty much anything else that can give a tanker a bad day, so be warned. Difficulty ramps up fast.

I'm inclined to think that going on Discord and airing grievances about BI (including details of the agreement they made) isn't the optimal way to resolve the issue.

NOt much different to the original armalll really. Fantasy future units. Its why i own it and have barely played it. Then they do a tiny bit of thr cold war and expect me to bite.

You're of course absolutely entitled to your opinion, but that's pretty absurd. Calling the units in the base game from the original campaign "fantasy" is a bit of a stretch. It's very near future. It's not like they are using laser guns and flying around on hover boards.

If you want to not play the greatest military sandbox ever created because it's too "sci-Fi" that's cool, but it's entirely your own loss.

that being said, with respect to this new DLC...your criticism might prove to be much more valid. We'll just have to see how "far" they take it.  ???
