Differences between BA1 & BA2?

[zasgard]

Not every having played BA 1, what are the differences between the original and BA2? Graphics look the same. What's the difference between them?

Thanks

Hello:

I only played the BA Demo. But I know some of the differences:

1. Eastern Front.
2. Infantry now have a Dash command.
3. The X key pulls up an overview of the map.
4. Supposedly the editor has been improved (not a modder or scenario designer so cannot give specifics).
5. Co-op play?

Thanks Gerry

I'm trying to decide if BA1 is the right choice for me. Graphically they look the same and there are so many mods already for BA1 and it will be a while for the BA2 modding to come out (mainly looking for units for other countries)

BA2 has smoke from artillery and some units.

BA2 has skirmish mode with random maps, co-op mode, an integrated air model with fighter support, combat air patrols, smoke, trenches, and a host of other improvements.

We have also worked hard to keep mod compatibility as high as possible. It is relatively simple to convert a BA1 user campaign.

I am still finding BA1 easier on the eyes. BA2 is much more detailed but I have difficulty seeing my units sometimes, and for me, some of the Russian armor unit models seem overly detailed or out of scale still in the last revisions.. The unit icons all look wonderful however, and gameplay is good although the AI is still no match for an experienced human opponent (it may never be).
