Wargame: AirLand Battle Official Thread

Just so the W:EE thread can remain focus on European Escalation.

Anyone feel like doing a themed battle? I was reading on the forum about a themed Vietnam War decks that people are doing. I was wondering if anyone wanted to do some battles with similar themes?

PM me on Steam

Meh, I dont know if Im into the whole themed battle idea, I like just going in with a deck and trying to win

I bought it, and apparently i have the feeling to be the successor of world in conflict ( my favourite tactical game i ever played ) , but on a bigger scale even tho maybe less chaotic.
However until now i have a bit of a hard time to get used to the whole game, the controls with the mouse and that in my opinion it seems more clumsy compared to WiC for now. Is there a way to make the camera rotate by putting the mouse on the sides of the screen?

but i am in love about the huge quantity of vehicles/ planes

You should be able to make it rotate by holding the mouse scroll wheel down and moving the mouse left or right
Its different and takes some getting used to but its a great game I think!

Thoughts on the newest patch?! Go!

One thing i find quite annoying with all the latest matches i had played is that there is too much 'camping'/ 'bubbling'. like players rushing to reach a sort of place in the middle or just below the middle of their map, and ammassing their units there/SAM's and doing nothing. Just waiting for any attempt to sparehead.
So in whatever attempt you do to attack them to break this boring stalemate( or i am not able to) , you are getting crushed.
Also when an opportunity arises if there's some movement and i go for it, most of the times my other teammates do nothing to support and stay in their respective bubble/camping leading again to catastrophic results ( my deck alone cant cope to CAS, push forward and support all at the same time). Maybe its me that i wouldnt want to wait minutes and minutes doing close to nothing apart some micronaging of infantry


Lastly a noticeable change i saw was in SAM's, now their range is incredibly nerfed against helos( IMHO, i'd prefer if the become a bit more agile)

Wargame’s New DLC Seems Generous

“CONQUEST” mode makes a great comeback in Multiplayer mode and against the AI, offering a range of new objectives to commanders all over the world. Unlike DESTRUCTION mode, victory in CONQUEST doesn’t depend on the destruction of the enemy forces, but on your ability to capture and hold more territory than your opponent. All the existing maps in Multiplayer are of course playable in this mode.

In addition to this new game mode, CAMPAIGN, already playable in Versus mode, is now available in CO-OPERATIVE mode and allows you to join forces with a friend to play any campaign against the AI.

In Skirmish mode you can now select the type and nationality of the equipment of any AI opponent. Last but not least, we have introduced 24 new units and 5 new maps (playable in Destruction and Conquest modes) for even more frenzied multiplayer contests!

You know, that is pretty generous.
