@@MikolajKonarski yes the cliffhanger was deliberate :) Marketing advice we got for demos was if you give a “complete” meal they like it (“oh that’s the Burden of Command experience”) but then don’t buy the game as they “ate that”. :-( So like old school tv series do a cliffhanger 8-) You can play full scenario in full game but you’ll probably be playing main campaign. :) (Or did I make this point already in video LOL)

This looks like it's shaping to be a VERY innovative game,. I loved the pace and depth. As an RPG it remided me of "Roadwarden" in tone and looks, and as an hex based wargame I'd compare it to "Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa" an operational based but also RPG focused.

I have always preferred going back to games like SPWAW and the old talonsoft games for more realism and a sense of really earning a victory on the battlefield and developing some attachment to units and their loss in the game. Playing Squad Leader and victory games "Ambush" back in the day really gave me a great lesson in not crossing in the open and always using cover and concealment. Great vid.

Well put. Modeling a different time and place si tricky.

If you want to be technical (and I know you do), the M51B1 fired from the M3 gun (present on the M5A1 Stuart, M8 Greyhound, T17E1 Staghound, and others) can penetrate a Tiger I's 80mm side or rear plates at what could charitably be called close range. BuOrd penetration charts show 50% penetration rate for 3.2" (80mm) RHA plates and 3.15" (79mm) FHA plates with the shot type at between 10-100yds. Mid-war BuOrd tests show even better performance (50% success at 84mm/81mm RHA/FHA, but are considered less reliable than the post-war data sets. Not that Stuart crews would ever have been suicidal enough to try.

OK, you are awesome! Remind me never to tangle with you on armor LOL. Seriously impressive. For your interest sake we draw on Panzer War micro rules we draw on did their own gun tests via a gov lab (or drew on the results, something like that, been awhile). So the numbers we use should be credible. But I do not pretend we have supplanted Steel Panthers or Combat Mission on this front 8-) Plus the modeling of armor is thin for this campaign. For example Morale not modeled though ' Brothers in Arms' book has now convinced me morale quite important (crew bailout). HOpefully for next campaign.

"Armies do not win wars by means of a few bodies of super-soldiers but by the average quality of their standard units. Anything, whatever short cuts to victory it may promise, which thus weakens the army spirit, is dangerous. Commanders who have used these special forces have found, as we did in Burma, that they have another grave disadvantage- they can be employed actively for only restricted periods. Then they demand to be taken out of the battle to recuperate, while normal formations are expected to have no such limitations to their employment. In Burma, the time spent in action with the enemy by special forces was only a fraction of that endured by the normal divisions, and it must be remembered that risk is danger multiplied by time." William Slim

@burdenofcommand2094 4 ай бұрын

Ah Slim. Amazing commander. Read one of his books (about his activities in 1930s if I recall). Very true. We deliberately didn't want to do an elite unit like Band of Brothers for reasons akin to what you cite. The reality then though is casualty rates get high. Esp for officers. There we distort. But our justification is we want to give you the emotional connect without putting your through a 1000 meals and road stops . So we lower the casualty rate from historical. So emotional authenticity over physical. Thanks for the quite! Luke(lead)

Imma be real from a commercial point of view this is a bad video. The game is very niche and doesn't have a lot of attention around it, so I don't think it matters that much. But as a casual consumer with an interest in the game, this video is almost off-putting. The launch window just feels unfulfilling, and my immediate expectation is that the product will miss that window. The teasing of further elaboration and answers in separate pieces of media just makes me want to disengage with the product and move on as a casual consumer. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm not the only one who feels this way. The only reason I'm even aware of the product is because I'm a fan of one of the people who worked on the game.
