...didn't had time to look deeper into it yet.
of course i got W:AlB the day after my first cautious posting :-[  ...when even the skirmish AI was not unlocked.
Knowing me, i wouldn't had resist in the longrun anyway, sober or wasted  ...so at least i wanted to cash in the sale benefit  ;)

IIRC from W:EE the stats would be edible? , so a simple overall parameter mod of the dadabase entries:
a) the ground speed value of all units is reduced to, lets say 80%     (well not to much, it should not look like slow-mo so)
b) the 'accuracy' of all weapons is slightly decreased                         (forces degrade slower)
c) the resources regain per minute is reduced                                  (a unit is more 'precious', so tactics should win over spam)

should turn it into more a wargame if it doenst already work out of the box

Hey, Mike. Your English is normally superb, so I offer this merely as something to improve your already outstanding mastery.

"Edible" means "able to be eaten." For example, "Are these mushrooms edible or poisonous?"

I believe the word you were looking for is "editable." Slight difference in meaning ;)

I've been there, done that.

I have a somewhat foggy memory of my first holiday in Germany as a student. As Christmas approached, of course we were all excited to get back home. One evening we were in a bar, and as Germans often do, I found some of my buddies at a table with some other locals. In this case a couple of old ladies. I joined the conversation and beer. I was still learning the language so some of the conversation was beyond me. The ladies were delighted to have a (questionably) handsome young man join them for part of the evening. One kept going on about how pleased she was to have an early Christmas ham.

I just figured the odd language use was a local dialect or something. Only later did I realize the error was wholly mine. "Shenken" means "gift." "Schinken" means "ham."   ;D

Two sample pics:





More details to be released tomorrow (I'm hoping for it to show up in the beta!).

If you look at this screenshot, you will see some strategic asset tabs.  One looks like a missile launch, while others have a rabid dog and what kinda looks like a mushroom cloud:



Nukes?  ;D

And a dev confirmed that there will be 30 maps in the campaign, one for each province.

The release date has slipped to May 30:

QuoteWargame AirLand Battle, the spectacular real-time strategy game for which the official and definitive release date is May 30th, will surprise players with its brand new Dynamic Campaign system, that we are pleased to unveil for the first time with a series of 4 screenshots!

Willing to make something very different from the solo campaigns of Wargame European Escalation, Eugen Systems made great efforts to offer Wargame AirLand Battle an exciting campaign, both innovating and fascinating. As you can see on today's screenshots, you will first handle in this campaign your army and your battle groups, on a huge strategic map representing Europe: ordering movements, asking for reinforcements, but also launching support strikes such as intelligence missions, special forces strikes, satellite spying, bombardment, tactical nuclear attacks, etc...

When a zone is under attack and you need to defend it, or when you send your own battle groups to assault, you are thrown at the heart of the spectacular battles happening in real-time. Your army is persistent all along the campaign: your units and battle groups will earn experience, making them perform better with every battle they survive.... but keep in mind losses are definitive as well!

Last but not least, the campaign is also playable in multiplayer against another player!

War is about to begin... pick your side and lead your army to victory!

Wargame will be available on PC on May 30th.

>> See the screenshots <<

Not surprised seeing the bugs still being squashing in the beta.  Still...darn.  :(

PanzersEast: Have to think to myself.... will I play the first one by the Winter Sale?  Probably not, then I should remove Dragonfall
PanzersEast: but that is thinking too logically.... and Steam Sales are about ignoring Logic
