Hi guys!

DasTactic just started an excellent series of preview videos of Sanctus Reach.

Have a look

I'm part way through watching, I'm half way into the third video so far.

In common with the Twitch stream today, it is truly painful to watch. The game looks great. The players however seem intent on blocking their line of sight with their own troops, not using cover properly (or in some cases, at all!) and expending high value attacks on low value targets. I found myself face palming at so many of their decisions. In fairness ,turn based strategy does have a learning curve and no-one can be an expert in a brand new game.

Perhaps having spent so much time in XCOM (the reboot and the brutal original), I'd make sure every unit, move and attack counts. Nevertheless I really appreciate the time taken by these streamers to showcase the game. I'm looking forward turning the green tide into a red smear on the maps myself.
