Great article, I think you covered everything there. . . I would say freelancing is quite hard especially if you are not used to working on your own, can be quite hard to motivate yourself also. . . we all know what it is like to stare at the monitor.

search for the .dll online and place inside the game folder (appears as icon)

you can tip the armored cars over, then capture them without damaging them, though kill infantry & crew asap, best to sneek them as fairly vunerable

good game, prefer to play online, campaign is insane

Wow, the voice acting just threw me off completely….
“Guys, this is bad..” LOL wth was that?!

Anyways.. the game’s not that bad.
I’m so used to COH though to have any appreciation for it.

Tractors of war.

For real though, thats awesome. Ideally patching will steadilly improve this title. Its not coh, but thats okay when i can use a cheat and play it like a shooter :p

Also, sidenote: Did anyone else have a CTD bug with the Panzershreck? You can find it in a crate on the last hill you have to capture before the convoy comes through. I can get a soldier to pick it up, but the two times I’ve tried to fire it, the game crashes hard.

I’m impressed. It took a few tries for me to figure it out – the first playthrough everyone outside the tank died in the first few seconds of the assault on the town, then my tank lost a track,was mobbed by Germans and shortly dispatched by an antitank grenade. Still, it was exciting – even though I was being slaughtered, enough so that I gave it another try.

Then I discovered the direct control, and it became even more interesting, letting me blast away with the main gun while the AI blazed away with the coaxial machine gun. That and wiping out the convoy at the end, and getting the trucks to explode in a fiery chain reaction.

The key to survival seems to be taking it slow, and letting the enemy come to you, and keeping your soft, squishy infantry units behind cover at all times.

The micromanagement I’ve seen (inventory management, direct control) seems to be pretty optional (the good kind of micromanagement), you could get through the entire demo without having to mess with any of the finicky details unless you want to. Units left on their on fight back fairly well, although they have a habit of running out Rambo-style and getting mowed down in short order.

@Jim: My one worry is that it might become unmanageable once you’re given more than a small squad to control – does it? I could see having to switch between direct control of more than one unit – say, if I split my men (of war!) up into two groups to flank something – would turn into a disaster quickly.

I captured the half-track with the AT gun, I just shot the crew with a machine-gun.

Tried it. Was really impressed! Thought it would be lovely in the full game, where you could actually save! But it’s ludicrously difficult as-is.

Complaints:
– The AI seems kinda… dumb, a lot of the time? At one point, a passel of enemy infantry attacked my tank, which had been disabled by one of those odd German not-tanks. (I really haven’t any idea what they are.) They walked up to it. And gathered around. (Getting shot whenever they walked in front of one of the machine-guns.) And wandered away after a while.
– Not quite certain what determines whether you can capture a disabled enemy vehicle, as noted above.

Praise:
– It is so very detailed. (I made a habit of switching my officer-man’s pistol to a machinegun. Also, on one go, I gave one of my hatless soldiers a German helmet! He looked adorable.)
- The detailed thing again. (It deserves re-iterating.)
- It’s hard – but in a good way, the way that makes me feel that with a little more practice (and a quicksave!) I’d be able to get it right
– You can drive a tractor! (I used it to tow a stolen Pak.)

Summary of too-long comment: Lovely demo, I will very seriously consider buying the full game (despite having just purchased Left 4 Dead in the weekend sale – I’m one of the 3000%!), tractors are fun.

Thanks for linking to this, RPS hivemind!

Ahh interesting, so AP is what does the job. Well, I managed to capture the Panzer… funny thing is that as I drove it away in attempt to repair its damaged turret – it took a rear shot from one of the surviving Panzers and it went up in flames with my soldier ejecting himself and getting mowed down by infantry. So, well, it drove nicely for the few seconds I had it under my command.
