Status: offline 		@Steely Glint. I was aware of the game when it came out and took a chance on it even though I own Macs. It took Windows 10arm running on top pf Parallels to get the game running and….then I very quickly find out that it isn’t my game. Could it end up being ‘what I want’? No idea. I shelled out for the original game and will wait to see if it ever gets the features I want. Great if it does and shrug if it doesn’t.

As I mentioned in an earlier reply, Lance and I are already working hard on the next update. We are also taking some much needed vacations. I'm actually typing this reply while on vacation.

We're a small team so often things don't get done as quickly as we all might like. But, ultimately, that's an excuse and one that you, as customers, are free to ignore. As a longtime gamer, I feel that developers should be held accountable and its certainly your right to keep pushing for any changes you want to see, with the understanding that we may not be able to accommodate or please everyone.

There are already some exciting new features in the works. We've probably been too quiet lately and I hope that will change soon.

Cheers,
/bruce

Thanks Bruce!

Being involved as a beta brigade member in another game I hear whole heartedly what you are saying! The dev team guys are all busy trying to make the next game in the series that much better than the last. It is a lot of work making sure the game is solid with its application and tested to the max before its released.

I thank you and all the development guys who work so hard behind the scenes to make this hobby that much better!

Kind Regards,
John

Status: offline 		I am a crabby old codger playing pretty much every digital wargame available in the past 40 years, but must say - for the price point of $20 - I would buy the game again.

The bar was set far higher than the developer's previous releases, of which I own one.

I think the OP may see some of the "improvements" he desires, but certainly not all of them at this price point. As I reviewed on Steam, it is a less complex version of the excellent LnL series on Matrix and newer versions on Steam.

I believe many of us are hoping for the Second Front release on Steam to be very close to "Squad Leader on the computer."

In fact, if the devs blow the Second Front release, I will be happy to rest with my ancestors until the arrival of the King of Kings!

Status: offline 		Greetings to All,
This thread made me hold off on Valor & Victory but then I decided to pick it up on sale to support the developers.
I am also very interested in the Stalingrad DLC that is coming.

Having 60 years of game play (board wargames, miniatures gaming & computer wargames), I find Valor & Victory fun to play at a bargain price.
It has not the depth of Combat Mission series or Lock n Load Tactical series or SL/ASL games but it is a decent first attempt with more improvements to come.
I like the small unit density and small map challenge for a quick game. It runs great on my 10 year old laptop w/integrated graphics.

Are you planning to add more features/make the Map Editor more robust?
How about Random Map generation?

Thanks

Status: offline 		I think I know the answer, but want to make sure before I set the games aside again. I bought the core game on release and only played a few times. I set it aside because of a complete lack of fog of war. The ability to have even the most basic FOW is why I switched from playing boardgames to PC games in the first place. I think V&V is a slick and neat little game, but no FoW made me put it aside.

I just bought The DLC to support the dev and hoping that FOW was added. It seems like its not. Is FOW even on the roadmap?

Status: offline 		Since they try to simulate the Board game experience as faithfully to the PC, I believe that’s why FOW is not available yet. For me the most important thing to increase the replay value of the game is to add a Battle Generator and give more options for new map creation.

Status: offline 		Great to see the DLC out, the maps look great and I am happy that the old Squad Leader mod is still working. I'll have to look into creating a mod for the Russians when I get some free time. I haven't looked into all the additions but the system is fleshing out nicely, congrats to the dev's.

Feeding the trolls perhaps but I don't feel the game has a rushed feeling at all.



I didn't notice any trolling in this thread until I read your post. What's wrong with someone posting suggestions for improvements? These days it seems to go-to method for shooting someone down is to cry 'Troll'.
