Heh. Glad you like it :)  LMK if you're up for some MP.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Armored Brigade has just been updated - and this time it is huge. Now there are 11 countries available: Finland, France, FRG, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, UK, USA, USSR, Yugoslavia. And there are many other additions.

And to think, that all of this is being solo-made by one guy from Finland... :o

Welcome Veitikka!  I played some Armored Brigade a few months back and was very favorably impressed. I'm going to give this new build a spin this weekend.

Do you really rate it? Does it have any long term value once you've fathomed it out? I've heard some good things about it and my daughter has been asking for it along with Game of Dwarves. I'd value your opinion.

Tell us a little more about it - what are some of the features you culled from SP and CM?  What are some of the situations and scenarios you've built for the game?  What sorts of players are going to like it (ie, if you like ___ then you'll probably like Armored Brigade)?

Well, personally I like to see this game as a real-time Steel Panthers, but some people have compared it to Combat Mission, Close Combat, TacOps and some other games. I'd say that UI-wise it's closest to Close Combat, but with improvements like the LOS tool and colored elevation maps. When it comes to the AI opponent I believe that it's at least on the same level or better when compared to the aforementioned games. Just remember that it is fully dynamic and must be able to handle any force/map/mission combination possible, as there aren't any canned scenarios yet. The player can select any area from the maps, which currently consist of 30,000 square kilometers (30 meter resolution) of Central Europe, and fight the battle there. Any other wargame that can do this? There's a lot of potential as these days the satellite data is readily available for everyone.

The unit scale and the level of modeling is probably closest to SP, as well as the terrain detail, although AB uses a grid instead of hexes.

AB is very moddable and it's easy to add new units, graphics, maps etc. This is actually one of the game's strengths, as I've kept everything simple to make it easy to add new content. All who are interested to help are welcome to the team. Maybe somebody wants to add his own country to the game?
Welcome Veitikka. Is it pausable realtime?

You're asking the wrong man.  You'll want to direct all inquiries to Longblade.  According to him OMD2 is more addictive than heroin.  I enjoyed it, but got bored pretty fast.

Thanks. Perhaps LB will comment?

It looked good, but I did wonder if it faded fast after you'd worked it out. Thanks for confirming that. :)

We have been hard at work on Armored Brigade. The future commercial version will include dozens of improvements and new features not found in the still available freeware version. One recent addition highlighted in the attached video, is the inclusion of rocket artillery. The cluster-fired rockets makes for awe-inspiring visual effects - raining destruction, debris and panic.

Looks great. I played this years ago, and it was good then. Can't wait to see what you guys accomplish in the future. Maybe you can replace Wargame, seeing how its now becoming an eSport game.

Had a look, but it seems you have to generate your own scenarios. Not very interested in that

The commercial version will include premade scenarios, and a dynamic, branching campaign system.

AB remains at its core a wargame inspired by such classics as Steel Panthers and Close Combat. The database is built on research, with no concerns about balance/nerfing nonsense. The maps are created using real world data.
