Graviteam Tactics: Mius Front is being released tomorrow. The learning curve is steep, the rewards are high.
I am as giddy as a school girl.

op star is on sale now for almost nothing. The winter battles are some of my favorites.
Sokolovo 1943 is my favorite. Just epic.

You may be overwhelmed at first but just start playing and it will become second nature. The troop placement is a little different as is the UI. I put it down after playing it for 5 minutes the first time and came back to it several months later. I sure am glad I did.

ntrlpr, if you need any help with anything send me a PM and I'll try to answer any questions. It's been a while since I've played though.

Here are a few of my old screens from in game that I took
This was a rather nasty battle indeed where every square inch of the town was fought over

I've really wanted to get into this series but just seem to bounce off it each time I try. The battlefields are so large that it can be difficult to figure out what is going on. Which is of course more realistic than most games
The series covers a lot of unusual theaters which is awesome, if I could figure it out.

That is definitely one of the big hurdles, navigating the huge battlefields. I was lost at first. Then once you start to get your bearings and how to use the UI to quickly get to your units it becomes easier. There are so many things in the game that you'd never even consider such as clear weather giving way to a storm coming in with the trees bending in the harsh wind and the sun being blotted out.
In one particular night battle I remember the tense feeling as the lights from the enemy's AFV's broke the darkness moving into my defensive perimeter before all hell broke loose. It has great dynamic lighting. There are mods out that help with some subdued sound effects. It really is a truly unique game and probably the most underrated one out there.

Ever try setting your battle settings to limited? I do that so i dont miss as much, on the really big ones i feel i miss a lot of the cool moments.

well dont know if i'll get to play tomorrow but i will download and install. Now we just need to find a place for all the cool screenshots .. I'll probably post mine at grogheads screenshots thread. This game is one of the reasons i wanted a new computer, now i can capture some high rez shots.

As a note, those personal screens I posted above are from the Matrix version. I know what you mean though. I try not to use Matrix bandwidth on a game they are not going to be selling.
On the other hand I've purchased at least 50 of their titles not including the ones I've bought for others.
Wonder if we can get a separate screens hot thread for Mius front over there. I do like that community. Asid has been very helpful concerning MF.

How did I miss that there was a detailed Tank Encyclopedia in Op Star? I wouldn't have waited so long if I'd known! I wonder how they could improve on it in Mius Front, it seems extremely comprehensive (the graphs and charts are immensely pleasing).

There was a very good LP on youtube that really helps to understand Operation Star. Graviteam Tactics: Operation Star LP Operations and deployment phase, part 1

Thanks Reb for the update. I have all their other stuff. What holds me back is that it will typically be heavily discounted after a time - usually quicker than other titles. But will pick it up one way or another.
If anyone gets the game let us know here how it is!
Well it's coming out as a full featured game for only $35 bucks. That to me is impressive especially how much there is to their games. A great bargain considering current trends imo.
I'm not sure how quick it will be discounted. The mass poliferation of AP:OS and their troubles with Paradox have taught them some harsh lessons.
Either way, glad you got the word.

Asid from The Wargamer posted a pic of a mod that I guess he has access to. I hope he doesn't mind me reposting it here.
Dayuuuum.
It isnt just a pretty face either. These games are DEEP. You get to move your forces on a strategic map and then the battles are resolved in pauseable(sic)real time with heavy strategy. As you know I'm sure rosseau.

I see its also operational (not strategy). Multi-player?...I looked for this but couldn't find anything on it.
