Computer Gaming / Re: Campaign Series Vietnam
Last post by Jason Petho - Yesterday at 03:18:19 PMWhat a challenging scenario. It has been a doozy of a fight. We broke past the halfway point in the scenario and we are making some progress, which is good. It's been a messy and bloody affair though, each position has taken a vast amount of troops and artillery support to break down the defences. Our tunnel rats found a very juicy target though, so we are sending them in to see if they eliminate the target. Unfortunately, we had two gunships ambushed and shot down, there goes our clean air operations streak. C'est la guerre.

GrogHeads Feedback / Re: Blocked from site by GoDad...
Last post by Jarhead0331 - Yesterday at 01:38:13 PMIt is very difficult for me to pinpoint what is causing this. Particularly when I cannot reproduce it on my end.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

GrogHeads Feedback / Re: Blocked from site by GoDad...
Last post by Sigwolf - Yesterday at 09:16:05 AMThe same problem has reared it's ugly head again. Last night I got the same GoDaddy access denied screen. I posted in the discord about it. A few minutes later it let me back in like nothing ever happened.
Today, I cannot access GrogHeads at all from Firefox. Any attempt yields a different error... "429 Too Many Requests You have exceeded the rate limit. Please try again later."
I had to use Opera and the VPN to post this.

Last post by Redwolf - Yesterday at 07:40:51 AMI have been uninspired and didn't play for a while.
I have 4 games in my steam chopping cart. I have no idea whether they would make me play or whether it would be a waste of money.

Last post by Destraex - October 24, 2026, 08:21:14 PMHad a look at a few next fest games
Veterans Napoleonic Wars - This was he one people were saying looked very much like Ultimate General. Seems like it should be fun but I was a little bored for some reason. Combat seems very simplistic and without being able to build units in this kind of RTS setting, the combat really does need to be very deep. It has most of the usual things like buffs and debuffs, but units do not fast march on roads using the road column formation for example. I got excited when I saw thier was a road column formation. You cannot really zoom into units and they are all scaled down and very generic in their naming conventions. I can't tell if square is doing any good or if flanking is working.
It's not bad, it's just not amazing. Master of Command does a lot better for my money. But I hope this game evolves because it does have the potential to be better than master of command because you are not stuck on a small total war square map.
I also wonder how much A.I. went into making this game, some of it reminds me of the latest Shogun2 3 handed pictures style. It just made me think about what will happen when the A.I. runs out of stuff to train on. Are we to be fed psychadelic drug induced A.I. creations then to get new content.
I suppose their will be A.I. war reporters by then.
Some screenies for you guys. The campaign system reminds me of ultimate general civil war. The way you choose troops and armaments. But that style of game is kinda standard these days. So it's not unique. But the art still reminds me of UG.
