Why oh why do developers of tactical wargames keep leaving out the features missing from all previous similar games that players keep asking for, like multi level buildings. I don't get it. If I was going to all that trouble and hard work of developing a new tactical wargame I'd make sure it has all those features that are always requested and always missing. That way I know the game will stand out from the crowd and offer players features\mechanics missing from all previous similar games. Otherwise why make a game that's like all the previous ones. Seems alot of hardwork for nothing new.
Lock and Load Tactical Digital has multi-story buildings. Movement is intuitive. With your unit in a building hex, you click on a stair icon, up/down, which moves your unit up or down.
My big gripe I had with LnL Stalingrad was the spotting and shooting mechanic. How you couldn't do recon by fire and had to respot every turn. Hated it. Esp as Germans used recon by fire ALOT during Stalingrad city fighting. Plus full squad/half squad abstraction really not keen.
I am not talking about LNL Stalingrad. Look for "Lock and Load Tactical Digital". It is a completely different game.
It is indeed, and as I mentioned above, it's my favourite of the three LnL games. Also my favourite of all top-down 2D tactical games.
With the different scenario packs, it's also the most expensive. You can pick up the base game for about $5 on sale (on Steam) and play with it. If you like the system and you can buy the rest as DLC. I think I picked them all up for about $40 AUD on sale.
There are only four wargames I play consistently (ie every week) and unfortunately a top-down 2d Tactical is not among them (they are WiTE, WiTP-AE, Command Ops 2 and CMO). I would like to find that top down 2D game that scratches my Squad Leader itch (as Squad Leader and all of its variants look down at me from their shelf...)
