Agathosdaimon -> RE: Deal of the Week...great deals! (9/23/2013 2:50:25 PM)

I am deciding on getting Command Naval/Air this week instead of the deal, but i have battlefront and Korsun Pocket and highly recommend the system in these games as Battles in Italy and Normandy are the same -
SSG produce quality games and always a good AI and really not a difficult system at all. For a while with the interface i wasnt sure what buttons did what but once i found out that as the game is not one where you have direct absolute control over your units, but rather can just give the orders that the troops either can or cant do in their capacity, it began to make sense why i couldnt order my men to attack whenever i wanted. I still had figure out what all the stats mean but learnt enough through playing to just play a game as though i am work on what information is being given to me - ie, working out an operational strategy - most wargames reward foresight and intelligence but battlefront really demands it. Also units arent jsut wiped out panzer general style, but really can slog it out in areas.
I played the Novorossisk scenario on battlefront and by the end of hte game i was not longer concerned with trying to win but on forming a strategy to rescue my units that were being trapped and surrounded - veteran units they were though and so could really hold up and even try to a force a breakthrough themselves.
