The Lordz Games Studio strikes a licence deal on Check Your 6!

^ Dude, no offense, but we read that shit. What's the stuff that's not in there? That's what we're talking about.

WTF does "campaign" mean in this context? A man needs context! Don't make me start throwing out boob examples.

It is exactly like the original game, campaigns are a set of SKIRMISH SCENARIOS and they are NOT SCRIPTED and they can be played from both sides the Axes or Allies.

So you can play them over and over again as the AI will react on your decisions and you should vice versa.

The one we concentrated on for this first game is the Battle of Britain.

BTW we will release more skirmish campaign and more aircraft later in the form of DLC and expansion, and yes some we will offer for FREE.

We will more or less follow the original CY6! scenario books.

Look here so you understand better what is coming:

Does it work with a joystick plugged in?

Are the advanced rules for formations, weather, surface attacks, spotting, anti-aircraft fire and aircrew survival in the game?

Live MP?

And I can't build a simple squadron-in-squadron one-off?

Yes!

To be clear the game is for mouse and keyboard, we are looking into how we can minimize or ideas totally get rid of any joystick-mouse interference.

Oh my. Now that does look good. Not sure of the scale though from the map. I presume the ground map is purely representative and for show. I mean one aircraft per hex so the ground is not at scale...

Still looks fantastic.

Correct. O0

Killing me here.

"It is exactly like the original game..."

Except for that bit where the original game is a TTG that allows one to take the little toy planes and stats and either use them with the campaigns as they come or in a scenario of your own design. The campaign books are great in the TTG for the research and inspiration they represent, but not having a scenario generator -- even a random one -- is clearly to place the money that can be gained from DLC ahead of the quality of the initial product released.

Soon all our games will come in pieces...

^gotta agree. The lack of a scenario/quick battle generator is a disappointment. Not a necessarily a deal breaker, but a disappointment.

Yeah. I think the developers here could give players the scenario/battle editor with the initial release, which is clearly a very sought after feature, while also still being able to benefit from income generated by future DLCs, which could expand the core game with OOBs, new aircraft, new theaters, etc. I would definitely pay for those...

So this is this the sort of game I really would have been interested in before technology gave us combat flightsims. I mean, now we can actually do all that stuff "for real" without worrying about cards or die rolls, so why not plug in a joystick and play CloD if you want to experience air combat in 1940?

Because my reflexes make sims not fun to play, I don't have the equipment to play sims (proper joystick, track IR etc), and I prefer turn based games now.

Staggerwing · January 30, 2018, 08:25:46 PM

What about dragon riders, alien saucers, and Cthulu? How long till that DLC drops?
