I'm only halfway through it, but it's good. Kinda feels like I'm reading All Quiet on the Western Front again, which I guess means that All Quiet is accurate.

Operational Art of War 3
Is it any good ? Sheer amount of scenarios in various periods make me very anxious to try it..

The discords chill as fuck. I hate discord and that one actually has interesting people who actually have intersting discussions. Are you that buttblasted anime shitter?

It was a quick copy paste job desu

I wonder who could have it in for the Discord
Thomas Jenkins
To the user who wanted a Flashpoint Campaigns torrent
Unfortunately it doesn't include the big update and DLC, but still should be fun.
Colton Fisher
Thank you based jesus. Any source on CMANO 1.11 or newer version than 1.0 im stuck with ?
Evan Turner
You can chill in your fucking discord and circlejerk the shit out of eachother but don't bring it here. This place is anonymous for a reason which is something you redditfags seem to not understand.
Charles Butler
To the user who linked a mega install of RTW it had a keylogger in it.
Caleb King
wtf I love discord now?
Josiah Taylor
I used to be in here back in the days of ALB and RD release. Haven't been playing since before Netherlands and other DLC hit. Everyone seems to hate Red Dragon in the previous thread while I remember it as Airland Battle with just more factions and units just fucking ignored naval bullshit. What happened? Did they fuck it all up in subsequent patching? I was thinking of getting Yugoslavs and getting back into it.
Jace Williams
According to the slavs you should be able to download the patch off of the official site here and install it using the crack for the base game
We don't hate RD, or at least I don't. I just got tired of it.
But fuck if Eugen didn't fire up the ole' pay-to-win model with those DLCs.
Juan Gutierrez
>Anime fag is still buttblasted that his anime circle jerk discord got shit on after he threw his tendies Anime is a disease.
Ryder Butler
...
Christopher Walker
It's not the balance I hate, it's the fact that Eugen made it possible to check people's W/L ratios, which means you have teamstacking that's worse than before.
William Gomez
you mean it revealed the teamstacking that was always present?
Angel Peterson
Friendly reminder that Madmat has played Steel Division for 30 hours
Xavier Lewis
scrubs found a new, simplified game to latch on to.
but stats make teamstacking easy to identify?
Bentley Cox
Oh ok.
Ryder Hernandez
>but stats make teamstacking easy to identify? Not really, you could pad them with losses very easily. All that happened was teamstacks kicked competent players that joined their game.
Adrian Bailey
There is literally nothing wrong with discord and anime.
Zachary Rivera
friendly reminder that devs use alt accounts and play the game at work
Isaac Lee
>combat mission devs will never ever stop being ultrakikes and jewin' their niche playerbase instead of moving to steam and acquiring shittons of new players
Jordan Sullivan
If I wanted to get into War in the East without prior wargame strategic level experience - is this a shit idea / are there babbymode stepping-stone games / should I just go for it?
Most of what I've played previously have been tactics based, not strategy (MOW, graviteam).
Anthony Lee
Still better than those "reviewers" that gave Rome Total War 2 10/10's and haven't played for more than 2 hours or haven't won single battle.
Sebastian Bell
Sure, but this was key so you don't end up with a team of absolute shitters as well.
Connor Collins
Stop being logical.
Jace Walker
>be me >would buy the shit out of their games >don't because I really can't be bothered dealing with non-steam bullshit They're really jewing themselves here. I'm sure the lost revenue from steam would be 10x covered by new players.
Please don't remind me. I preordered that pile of shit. I thought it was going to be the successor. I imagined the polish of Shogun 2. My biggest ever waste of 80$.

> Fucking hate Battlefront.com but they make pretty decent games > Always enjoy Ostfront and modern stuff more than Western front, just personal preference > Decide to buy Black Sea and Red Thunder for 50 dollars each because shit I will have fun with this > Red Thunder is really bare bones and doesn't even have the fucking SS in game yet > Black Sea is great with 3 factions but you would think that they would make some more DLC for this because shit it's topical as all hell and like Shock Force but not terribly lopsided > They just keep churning out Western front shit over and over again. Vehicle pack for Normandy, new expansion for Italy, completely new game for Ardennes > DLC for Red Thunder and Black Sea literally never
What the FUCK is wrong with them
Joseph Gonzalez
They're greeedy shallow fucking cunts stuck in their tiny little echo chamber they call "forums" populated by stockholm-syndrome mental patients
Dylan Smith
I think they'd have to declunkify their games and change their business model to not charge for literally everything. They're happier fucking your dad and his friends over for their hard earned cash.
Jaxson Moore
there are a good amount of small to medium sized scenarios that can easily be managed by someone new. The main draw of WitE is the Grand Campaign though, and that is a fucking gigantic beast with all the units you have to manage from 1941-1945.
Justin Jones
>Having an anime profile pic and having at least 10 pictures of little anime girls should be a warcrime Prove me wrong.
>there are a good amount of small to medium sized scenarios That's reassuring to hear, thanks. Yeah, the grand campaign is where I'd like to end up, but I could see myself getting overwhelmed with the complexity and scale off the start. Guess I'll pick it up then though.

Reddit vs /wgg/ Steel Division when?

I forgot how shitty the campaign experience was.

Kayden Peterson
I'm sure there are reddit in-houses already
Hunter Rivera
It's for the best, I don't want to know how many hours I have in their games.

/wgg/ as Allies because only redditors play as krauts. You cannot deny this.

I'd watch.

Nigguh wut ? Obscure is shit like Turkey, Brazil or South Africa.

Maybe if you are some historical illiterate..

What an obscure little country it is.

>He likes little girls screaming in Chinese cartoons Just so your aware normal people who come to this thread don't, because they aren't faggots.

I though other divisions had much lighter landings and a much easier time. My history might be rusty though.

Landon Richardson
Once we got off the beachhead we were able to relatively advance quicker than any other nation in normandy. Hell we took half of France while Monty was still bogged down around Cean

I just came to the thread you dense retard.

What is OP about Yugoslavs exactly? I heard Matzo eaters got a Spike ATGM in a recon squad, but what could Tito get to become OP? It seemed like to me they had even less technology than DDR.
Colton Ramirez
It's not hard to break out when you've got almost nothing facing you. Not shitting on americans either but that was the new plan anyway.
Jordan Martinez
Tito has a 100pt heavy recon tank with stealth technology, and the ability to shoot down fucking everything with SAMs and planes
Robert Jackson
I'm american, what's your point?
Austin Turner
i love their tanks and and air defence. they also have the rocketbuggy from C&C generals
jews had the maglan dominating for quite a while until they nerfed the squad size and stealth after fireing their ATGM
Juan Morales
You think they would but: >T-55s and M-84s (upgraded T-72s) have great accuracy (60%+ for most cases), the most durable and capable variants of their kind >Insane non-RAD AA (being NEWAs and Gophers), and other RAD SAMs with great accuracy that can establish a brutal ADN >Shock troops get time travelling 112mm AT launcher, one of their transports are death dealing M113 clones with recoilless rifles >Other good infantry choices, lots of spam >Killer recce M-84 with cloaking technology >Decent Mi-8/Gazelle gunship loadouts >Air tab easily has some of the best ASFs and CAS options in the game They're obviously one of the better Red factions since most of their units can actually hit things, and have premium pricing. They're also paid DLC, so naturally they will be good.
Lincoln Bennett
>rome 2 release
just kill me now the pain is too real
Jace Morris
Would anyone be willing to take on a couple games against me? I'm mostly immigrating from CoH/CoH2, so I have a vague idea of what things should do but I'd like to get someone who knows what they're doing to provide some feedback. Or could I upload replays somewhere? Like a database? Or is that a CoH thing?
Logan Smith
The Divide et Impera mod for Rome 2 actually does a very good job of salvaging the original product, if you're ok with realism autism and I mean this is fucking Wargames general so of course you are.
Jack Torres
what's there to prove? The two reddits are already taken over.
A further 10v10 will just be #ANZ removing anti-weebs.
Nathan Stewart
Go to the teamspeak in the OP. I'm pretty sure people are playing right now and everyone there is really helpful. They helped me get gud.
Jeremiah Cook
>tfw AE never ever

You cant salvage something written on that shitty engine.

Does anyone else wish there were names for some of the more obvious locations on the maps? Villages, hills, major crossroads, etc.
Josiah Hughes
Villages will have names in the final game, in the singleplayer at least
Lincoln Stewart

Death right?

Taranovka encirclelment breakout? You should have one Pak 40 that is able to take out both Matlidas and Valentines so take good care about it and try to reserve some of your supplies for it. Nevertheless it won't be enough so prepare for a lot of maneuvering, you have to choose your battles. Use forests to hide and move your platoons, attack enemies where soviets don't have armored support. You main mission is to push west and secure your position until SS LSAH comes to help you (which happens ~ turn 5). They may take different approaches but they should attack with Tigers which should relieve a lot of pressure from you. The beauty of this game is that you have to do exactly what you would have done in real life situation, and you will succeed (which also means that if you see a tank squad rolling over your positions and you have no AT weapons, you should just hide and save your life). Good luck Her General.
