First impressions, Surtur

[pipfromslitherine]

We're aiming to get a version out before the end of the week. This should include a few more beta-finished missions, and also (all things going well) first pass multiplayer.

If you have any specific additional feedback (on Bulge missions for example) then get it in quick before the new version hits!

Cheers

We're testing it here and it wil be out before the end of the week. You will have first pass multiplayer - as in Field of Glory.

I would really like to test the multiplayer mode(s)

Will we get to see a turn counter in the UI? Or at least in the end of turn report? It would make the missions a lot more fun I you can tell how far you have progressed?

Remaining turns + objectives will be displayed in every turn report.

Thanks for the info!

Just to let you guys know, I got a really buzzy week on school comming up with loads of tests. I am in my final year now (Should I succeed) and it is quite an important event. I do not yet know how much testing I may be able to do, but I hope you guys understand.

After some consideration I decided that I like the first Bulge mission the best.

I just love the need to tacticly redeploy the mortars to the second line of defence for example. I hope there will be more of these missions.

Please note that I did not play/finninsh all of them.

No, this game is all played as the Allies. Later iterations could move to other settings. In MP you can play as the Germans.

1) Desert campaign
2) Normandy
3) Bulge

I wonder how many other gamers like myself will only be playing solo and therefore will never have the opportunity. I think it is something you should consider for your game designs. For example, the long time standard for this sort of game was "Steel Panthers" in which you could choose your side as either one in any scenario, and play any campaign as a given nationality.

Would be nice...

Yes most people will play single player and the game is designed primarily for that. Missions are specially crafted to be interesting and cannot be played both sides like steel panthers generic style missions. That's just part of the core game design and why the missions are so varied and interesting
