Theatre of War - Seizing the hills (pic heavy!)

Dowly · 02-08-08, 09:58 AM

Everything you just described are in CC series, so I think I'm sold.

Tho, need to try the demo first and see for myself.

One more question, is there snipers in the game? That's what I love in CC, sniper in good spot can cover alot of area + he always aims for the squadleader. So, at the time the enemy squads are attacking, they've lost their leader and 1-2 other men.

Ok ok, I have just ooone more to ask. Is it possible on ToW, for a single squad in well fortified position, to repel 5 or so times bigger infantry force? Yep, you guessed, another one from CC. :p I have tons of memories where the last 2 survivors of a grenadier squad armed only with Kar98's & grenades repel off wave after wave of allied infantry from a good position (2nd floor of a brick building in this case). The doorway was covered in bodies when the battle ended... unfortunately, the 2 heroes were among them... stupid mortars...

Yes, he is not in the pics, but I have a sniper on a hilltop to the left on the battlefield. He is covered by a tree and some bushes, and he took out a gun crew when I charged the first hill.

Yes, 5-10 men in a trench can fend of way larger forces of infantery with minimum losses. If you charge a trench with infantery only you are toast. (I have tried, hehe) Wounded men also aim poorly, so they are left doing supressing fire, not much else.:rotfl:

Okie dokie. Thanks for all the info. I'll test the demo tonight at some point and if it's good, I'm going to go for it.

Tried the demo, like Dowly I am an avid CC player and thought this was a perfect 3D CC solution.

Unfortunately, demo doesn't run on this little laptop so I'll have to give this one a miss

Also tried the demo and liked it quite a bit. It sure is abit more confusing than CC, but I think I learn it.

Found this by Matrix Games

Similar to Combat Mission but graphically improved. Doesn't look as complex as Theatre or War but at least this little laptop can run it!

Give this one a go too Dowly

edit: Forgot to say, it is turn based but the units will react if the enemy is seen

I never really liked the Combat Missions, mostly because of the turn based action.
