Hi Frinik,
At the lower levels of difficulty, I have given the player an extra squad and / or a platoon of Pz II in the village, to delay the Soviets a little. At the higher levels of difficulty, I hope I built in some tactical decision-making, whether to finish dealing with the 'diversion' or to move out and head off the 'main force'.
About my games!
I've played 'IL-2 Sturmovik' and its many sequels for a couple of years. All off-line. Before that was 'Red Baron 3D'
I also recall playing 2 tank sims, 'Panzer Elite' and 'Panzer Commander', which in some ways, esp. their campaigns, have not yet been surpassed by newer sims.
Wargaming: Spent a lot of time on the "Combat Mission" and "Close Combat" series, and before that was 'Steel Panthers'.
Other games still residing on my hard drive are 'Civilization III' and 'Commandos 2'. (Yes, these are not the latest 'versions')
Things I look forward to trying, when time permits, are 'Panzer Command Kharkov' and 'Achtung Panzer Kharkov 1943'
Do you see a pattern there??
Regards,
