Am I the only one noticing a large amount of the menu and UI looks like it was copied from CoH1?

[@juanjosediazricaldi]

I see it too

[@TheBadAimGaming]

First think I thought too. Thought it was a spotlight for a CoH 1 mod until I saw the title

[@Try_Again_Bragg]

I legit thought it was haha.

[@pascalsch14]

Yup coh1 was the first thought I had

[@kelltainer2448]

Even the voice lines and tech tree selection menu screams CoH1.

[@andrewd5894]

Between this and terminator I feel like we need a good old shack community campaign with patrons

[@easports1141]

CoH1 looking ah menu

[@AonghasMcTavish]

The howitzer looked like a 105mm. The priest is also a 105mm artillery peice.

[@DragonxFlutter]

It kills me that these kinds of games are only ever in a WW2 setting. I'd _love_ if this game was in a style reminiscent of Star Wars or 40k.

[@LaymensLament]

terminator dark defiance just released

[@astral_stormlight]

Start a mod group and make a mod for this game then

[@TheDownrankTrain]

Licensing costs

[@antwarior]

like really? star wars bro?

[@DragonxFlutter]

@@antwarior Not Star Wars directly, but something with a similar aesthetic.

[@ItsUrKeeper]

Your artillery piece is likely a 105mm. Your Sherman has a 75mm. The greyhound and Stuart have a 37mm. Very cool game!

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

Slitherine feels like the new modern reincarnation of SSI, and that's actually a good thing.

[@Sp4rt4nSl4ya]

I feel like I'd be more interested in this one if it was a RTS, but then it'd essentially be CoH1 but not. I do love the persistent unit feature, which homeworld is famous for but also that new terminator game you featured recently as well. I hope more games of this type utilize that feature more in the future, as it makes the story you play through have an element of your own, and losing one of your veteran units hits harder that way.

[@blacbraun]

To hell with RTS. Too many of those twitch games where the winner is the fastest clicker. Turn based lets you take time to think things out. Give me that every time.

[@Sp4rt4nSl4ya]

@@blacbraun maybe in multiplayer, but I only play them solo so if there's a pause feature that allows you to still order units around I prefer that to turn based. That's just me though.

[@adbp1513]

If you live bringing units mission to mission, Call to Arms Gates of Hell Ostfront, conquest mode is what you want, its one of the best experiences I've played and you can do it with friends.

[@plasmoidal01]

Careful: when your units "spot" an enemy, they stop and don't complete their movement order. That can leave them in the open (like that one infantry squad) unless you order them again.

[@b.quentin7097]

And sometimes when they spot and enemy but were not seen semselfs they lose all movement abilities.

[@warlord8525]

If I remember right. The artillery is most likely a hundred and fifty-five millimeter howitzer

[@legendairenic6247]

Idk calling it an Xcom-like feels like a stretch and a misnomer. It is a tactical strategy game, it’s closer to, say, Fire Emblem than Xcom. Without permadeath and random stat level ups.

[@zacharyclapp1072]

34:47 Hmmm seems we’ve come full circle with that music huh. (Millennium Falcon Deathstar Theme)

[@Sthunlimited123]

Hell yes, this is just COH1 I love it. I have wanted something like this for sooooooo long!

[@schwaulen]

Looks really good, but needs balancing in some areas. Why would the ruins of a house provide less cover than a knee-high wall? Chance to hit a unit 15m away at like 37%? Nah... But looks promising!

[@TerrorMango]

They straight up ripped of the CoH1 UI LMAO

[@mercerholt8299]

If it works

[@peterhong7090]

Not sold on this game, because COH1 and 2 exist. Also house got brought down around an enemy squad's head and only 1 guy went down?

[@jame590]

if you like bringing units from one fight to the next you should try their strategic mind series.

[@shark3545]

coh turn based

[@Zoozorocks01]

This game seems cool, I would love to see more!

[@crob763]

This one looks great!

[@rainieknapp2542]

Speaking of home world I have to ask shack. What is your favorite home world? Personally I give it to deserts of kharak.

[@bouncer1463]

This reminds me a lot of a game called battle academy made for the BBC except with much better graphics, only the gameplay and music though.

[@luismdgr]

I just hope they consider alt history campaigns like in their previous titles

[@sopvop]

Kinda like Steel Panthers Lite, with modern looks

[@luqmanm6105]

Pathway To Glory PC version. Definitely going to try this

[@b.quentin7097]

Played all the way to the Brest Mission. Until that mission (the last in the american campagne I suppose) it was sometimes hard but I liked it. Brest mission is unfair. You only got two tanks, one antitank unit and one artillerie tank. These are the only ones that can hope to breach any of the 15+ Tanks the german side hase on top of numerous artillerie pieces. You got one airattack per three rounds that hits 3x3 and only one attack in four tries breaches a tanks armour. The map ist constructed so that you have only two ways to reach the enemy. Both are roads so you have to form a column and can not get to the side of the enemy tanks. In the given amount of rounds it is not doable. Unless, maybe, you switch to some lower difficulty. The AI is not the brightest candle on the cake and so the battle is constructed very unfair. These Mission kills the whole game experience for me.

[@diamondq7s124]

RIP Sheep; Dead in WW2 in battle!

[@AsherFarley-gy6xh]

I agree about the greyhound

[@giannisstavropoulos8923]

this game look cool af and its pretty similar to bolt action

[@MrSHADOWANGEL999]

Looking glorious

[@Plagueheart]

Feels like a Company of Heroes mod

[@kylekatarn5964]

Looks like a digital version of Bolt Action the tabletop game.

[@Cpt_Flatbird]

wait, how did you make the little cover shields visible ? can't find it in my game ^^'

[@madeingermany9445]

16:03 a direct hit of the explosion is a miss and at 16:14 one that lands behind them makes 3 hits. how?

[@KawaiiSoulB42]

U should know Shack back armor is plot armor (winkie face) G_G

[@nife1360]

I clicked instantly that coh1 menu

[@Raio_Verusia]

"Oh it's CoH... Mod? Wait... ... What?"

[@7tp341]

Game menu looks somewhat like from Company of heroes tbh.

[@eldraque4556]

well getting this

[@DarthAlpharius]

CoH1 ui must have been a mod at first.

[@howesteve966]

It always bothers me when streamers never turn down the in game music.

[@xd.gamers5670]

Let Agrippa know

[@SuperExtremeTNT]

lets go

[@overlorddexter]

That main menu looks copied 1:1 from Company of Heroes 1, like it's a total conversion mod, rather than its own thing.

[@SolarisKnight01]

you put too much swoop on the T LOL

[@McMackster]

This looks an awfully a lot like a TBS version of Company of Heroes...

[@furretthefuzzynoodle3896]

So xcom ww2?

[@janezkrajnski]

The menu is a complete copy of Company of Heroes.

[@CrabbyCallahan72]

relic... im smelling a law suit just sayin...

[@OrionTheta1]

So many units placed out in the open... :/ ;)

[@RandyArmy]

I thought it is a coh1 mods

[@regardedking452]

Go watch someone else

[@aldrichbalnazzar8214]

coh 1 reskin meh

[@Tigerpanzer6666]

beautiful game but ew gross

[@MarinaInChains]

even the missions are the same places as CoH 1, this might be enough for Relic to sue these people lol

[@movieboy6]

I don't think Relic has any claim to historical events or battles. Imagine all the litigation anytime somebody came out with a new WW2 game
