BA2 also comes with a random mission generator doesn't it?


I'll pick it up eventually if that's the case.

There is a skirmish mode. Haven't tried it yet so I don't know how random it is :)

I think that's the random one.. ?  Not sure if the map is too or just the forces.  I'm really in the dark about it other than that it has some kind of randomized option(s).

I would like to try out playing as the Germans...I hope that's possible in skirmish.

BA2 is very addicitive. Even exhausted at the end of a work day I still played for two hours tonight. Won my first campaign mission.



And proceeded on to the next. I like the combat modeling a lot. Something about it makes engagements nerve wracking and tense. This is an exciting game. Armored combat is very fun too. IIRC there is a Kursk campaign...that should be fun. First I must hold Moscow.

Damn. Moscow's going to need a new paint job and a shit-load of screen doors. But congrats Comrade Gusinovich. How's the AI in this game?

[Gusington]

I'm playing on regular difficulty. The AI seemed relatively competent, but it may not fully understand ambush points and that infantry, not armor, is absolutely necessary to take a city. In that first scenario the AI threw a lot of tanks my way and almost snuffed me out. A quick moving armored column of my own and some dug in infantry with AT weapons saved my butt.

[Sir Slash]

Cool. Are the buildings and other infrastructure destructible?

[Barthheart]

Yep.

[Gusington]

Yes I saw a lot of buidings destroyed over time as my forces took cover.
