Honestly, I never mastered all of this while playing the game but I'm convinced it was detrimental not to have done. You'll need to refer to the manual to know why units are flashing or not, why some have white dots on them, etc. Note: there is a lot of information you'll be shown on these icons, and the symbol meanings are not immediately obvious.
One of your easier decisions is choosing unit icons: silhouettes or NATO? I started with the former but eventually switched to the less glitzy but more utilitarian NATO view (showing my age, no doubt). Where to begin? The good news is the manual is comprehensive and well-organized the bad news, if any, is that you can't afford to skip it. I lost half the Kriegsmarine in the early parts of the game for lack of preparation, for example. To put it another way : if you plunge into the game, as I did, with only rudimentary comprehension, the AI will spank you here, there and all over if you let it. This is a PC wargame with the complexity of Advanced Third Reich you'll need to understand how the systems work, while the computer program takes care of the implementation. You'll find everything you need in the manual, and it's worth paying attention. This is one game where you will want essential understanding regarding the mechanics of: HQs, supply, morale, purchases, rebuilds, reinforcements, scripted events and combat mechanisms for land/air/sea. The thing is, the AI, even on the novice level, will put you through your paces and won't pull any punches. The document has excellent structure and detail, so you won't get lost. Fury's craftsmanship and TLC approach is enhanced in this new iteration of the game I can attest through gameplay that you will see a devotional level of attention and detail.īefore you start your PC engines bent on terror and destruction of the AI enemy, you'll need to check out the gaming manual. Fury has been culturing this series since 2007 and have made a splendid choice to continue to do so with the new publisher.
The original developer, Fury Software, has moved to work on with Slitherine/Matrix. Amazingly, just after that, Jason asked me to review games at A Wargamer's Needful Things, so before I had ever played this older version, I was in the thick of looking over Strategic Command, WW2 in Europe. M ost recently, I had purchased the last version of this game from the previous publisher, Battlefront: Strategic Command WW2 Gold Bundle. These sequences are money-makers for the gaming companies and we don't begrudge this. Just like board game players, PC players want more detail, performance and better graphics as the years go by. Interestingly, this is a PC game that has a development story of its own. The purpose of this article is to review the most up-to-date PC title of the Strategic Command Series, the latest being released by Slitherine on November 17th, 2016. That's Old DNA Get on with the PC Stuff!įair enough, just giving a taste of where all this originally debuted.
