Close Combat:Panthers in the Fog is Released

[JudgeDredd]

As title over at Matrix if anyone is interested...I might be tempted as I have all the others - some reading is required though me thinks

[LongBlade]

Great news. I'll see if I can get a copy now.

Although  it has one of my most requested features (ability to load/unload troops & guns), I want to see how this was implemented and does the AI make use of it?
What CC campaign system is it using? Besides the new graphics, what else is new?

[JudgeDredd]

I know it's called Panthers in the Fog - but I didn't actually think there was a fog "overlay"...I do NOT like the look of that...watching the video I was really straining to see clearly and just kept thinking someone had put cling film on my eyes!

Well, it does look like fog but, I'd go blind playing that!

if you havnt gone blind yet its safe to play with anything.

Steve McClaire at our forums (Matrix) mentioned that if a lot of people want an option fog setting, it might be something implemented. It wasn't something that really came up in beta testing, and it never really bothered me.

[JudgeDredd]

Well - honestly (and I'm not just bashing - I like the CC games) - I'd want an option. This was a possible buy as long as favourable reviews were out, but I simply could not play with that overlay...I honestly felt like my eyes were clouded. You know when you look at something and it feels like your eyes rather than what you're looking at - it made my eyes water (slightly).

You know what your mother always used to say...

"stop showing the girl next door your weenie"?

I want an option to autoresolve battles. Or save during battles. The campaign systems is so tedious, requiring you to fight every battle in every sector everyday. I have never finished a CC campaign except for CC2 and CC3 which are more linear.

I didn't mind it. Takes a bit of getting used to. What you don't get from the fog is how far a unit can effectively see. But you do get the sense that visibility is limited.

Just played my first game. Good stuff. If you like Close Combat this looks like another good addition to the family.

[GDS_Starfury]

Im waiting for more reviews and opinions from people that I know before getting this.

[Bismarck]

Thank heavens! I thought something was wrong with my monitor.

[GDS_Starfury]

I was emailed by US Brake months ago about my CC3 Grand Campaign.
perhaps I should take the email more seriously now.

hmmmmm
