Confusing interface and a little hard to learn but thanks to Chucky and Flashburn for their tutorial post in the Graviteam forum... finally got into the battles I was looking for... quick battle here, 1st kill, 1st victory... Move to contact simple mission... Bounding overwatch, then a flank, suppress, then kill...

ADDED/EDITED: Actually it was Ryujin who helped, Chucky asked the question... lol


This game is FANTASTIC and extremely detailed... once you figure it out. wink

It is amazingly detailed and I keep watching my units instead of watching for the enemy laser

having fun with the quick battle tools...

Why militarys need MP's (Military Police):




How do you make them change formations... prefer a wedge or a line while crossing a danger zone:





They never taught, drop and roll I guess:

"How do you make them change formations... prefer a wedge or a line while crossing a danger zone:"

You're not seeing all the commands.... in the lower right hand corner you'll see an up arrow. Hit it and it'll pop up more commands for moving on roads, formations, spacing, tanks first, etc.

Beaut pictures Magnum, thanks for posting them.

Marders have almost no survival chance when used offensively due to thin armour and a high silhouette. Could you use some tanks as bait to draw the enemies fire then counter fire with the Marders ?

Were the SPW crew killed by mortar rounds ? I see a number of black dots in the air above them.

Been on the fence about getting this but I definitely will after seeing these shots. Looks nicely detailed. Great shots.

Well done Magnum.
I'm glad you benefited from my pathetic cries for help with this game.

I have 2 days off now,lets see if I can follow you into battle.

I was just checking out units... threw a few of my favorites down, a few enemies I wanted to see in action... and set the objective... Used a tank platoon to suppress while i flanked with infantry and flame throwers (just to see people burn, lol)... Theres alot to this game, still need to learn ALOT... but it's more of a tactical RTS then a sim... but it is being reviewed by a guest writer.
