General Questions about Multiplayer

Post by insidius »

Just had a few, if someone would be kind enough to answer them.

1. Do you select an army, then a map, or are cwertain armies used on certain maps?

2. Do you have any control over what units you have in your army or is it predetermined based on the map/army you select?

3. Do you control deployment or is it predetermined?

4. About how many units do you control is a typical game?

5. Overall, would you say the game is polished? Would you say it's "fun?"


Thanks guys! I'll post more as I think of them.

1. Preset factions... Axis vs. Allies (some maps have US or British vs. German or Italian depending on the map's locale (North Africa, Normandy, Ardennes)).
2. Armies are also preset as well. You get your component of tanks, infantry and support units and transports.
3. Deployment is preset.
4. I would say company to battallion size. Each unit is a tank / vehicle / squad. That would be a decent number of units to command.
5. For me, game is quite polished 9/10. Fun factor is also 9/10.

You can select one scenario from 3 different campaigns "each with 2 scenarios" and and additional new "map pack 1"! and allies or axis side!

No, it's predetermined based on the scenario and the army you select in this scenario!

The current max units per side is 64, but you would need to be pretty dedicated to play out that battle I think ;).

Cheers
