A demo I stumbled on whilst scooting about Steam yesterday.

Decided to give it a spin and kick the tyres and I do believe I have discovered a little gem in the making. Feel free to subscribe to my channel if ya wanna hear me twitter on about all sorts of games. :0)

I think I'm your second subscriber

Looks interesting -- will give it a whirl.

Yay... my other account was my first... bad when you subscribe to yourself but that 0 subscribers was killing me... LMAO.

Thanks.

I am enjoying the simplistic 'miniatures' approach to WW2; its sort of Fields of Glory for WW2. Haven't worked out if there is morale/retreat/rout mechnaics yet.

Bit cheesy though when any infanty squad can take over the pillbox PAK 38(?) and start firing it, after grenading the pillbox 3 times (tutorial #2....)

Yeah and then speak fluent German when you issue commands.

That was fun... on my wishlist.

I've played through the five demo scenarios. They are fun. I put this game on my wish list.

I wonder if there will be a PBEM option.

 

[Gnarly]

I got a rather rude suprise in tutorial #5 when the enemy tnak knocked down the chateau wall.... ;P

 

[Nort]

You're not the only one.

Liking what I see...

 

[Spoogles]

I loved this demo. Definitely the closest thing I've seen to a digital Flames of War or Bolt-Action; the infantry combat was a bit jank but the armour engagements were incredible. Would love to see co-op or PVP.

Been on my wishlist.

Stupid question. PLA Studios. Where is that based? I did a search and came up with nothing conclusive.

 

[Zeke_21]

Now available for early access on Steam. No reviews yet.

 

[Nort]

Currently, this game is single player. Does anyone know if this will eventually be PvP?

 

[Zeke_21]

The devs say on game page that this is a game, not a simulation. Nothing wrong with that, but for me I don't see anything much better that Combat Mission Beyond Normandy.

Don't see myself paying $39 at this point. Gotta see more and watch some youtube play troughs.

I would really like this to be good.
However, I'm a bit put off by the graphics. I mean, this is 2021 and that's the best they could come up with?
Sure, it works, but a little color would have been nice.
Some other things bother me as well, but it is EA so I am prepared to be as patient as necessary.
