Also, I managed to cap Peltz' engineering truck antics.

Re: MoW: Assault Squad
I've been playing a bunch of this game... great stuff. I'm starting to really dig AT infantry, btw. They're damned near worthless against the heavier tanks, but they freaking kick ass on the light armed vehicles and even some of the medium tanks. Plus they can hide in brush real easily.
Anyway, still going through the campaigns. Playing Russia going after Japan now. Boom boom boom! I love their special "mortar". Freaking massive BOOM!

Re: MoW: Assault Squad
I haven't picked up Derf's neurosis about arranging men in formation after battle, but I am trying to not lose quite so many. I think I'm slowly getting better. Stand far back, blow the piss out of them... rinse, repeat.

Re: MoW: Assault Squad
Jesus Christ, that's a nice score. Especially for playing on your own. I'm kind of impressed that you're doing all those missions alone. Sure there is a pretty big gap between easy and normal, but even so. Great that you're loving it though. It's one of those games where, when you get relatively good at it, you start to see its brilliance even more. Every battle is a succession of tiny awesome moment and stories, or acts of heroism. And often moments where things go completely FUBAR in seconds. It's glorious. I've seen things happen that are completely insane...a shell deflecting off a tank's armor, hitting the side of a house and causing debris to fall on a soldier standing below and then some. And one rule in MoW: if you THINK it can be done, it probably can be done. I didn't know at first that a flamethrower could be effective against armor, but I once used one (out of necessity) since it made sense - and it worked. You can use MG's with a decent calibre to shoot tank tracks (you'll never the armor itself of course) and can use shells to blast away a wall of a house if there's enemies hiding in it. And so on. You could even have an infantry soldier pick up several explosive shells from a tank or supply truck, pile them on the road and shoot them when a tank goes over. (sorry I get a little carried away by MoW sometimes ) As for AT infantry...welcome to the club. They can be devastatingly effective and are cost-wise a massive alternative to tanks. What do you think about the british and I think soviet AT rifle guys? I prefer the US and jerries and their bazookas and panzerschrecks myself. Also, Derf hates the Japanese with a vengeance. if you're digging the game as much as you are then you might wanna take a look the original game, or more specifically the expansion Red Tide since this game isn't actually meant to be a singleplayer game (it was made for co-op and pvp primarily). Having said that, the other games have a lot of missions with small teams too, not just these massive defense or attack battles. Video...trailer for Men of War: Vietnam, coming in September

Re: MoW: Assault Squad
cool trailer...though wtf "song" was that. It sounded mildly 60s/70s, but more like someone just made up what they thought a song from then would sound like. Looks cool though... helicopters! F4s! W00t. The maps better be a lot bigger, though, or it'll be stupid. Regarding mow:as, yea, it's fun. Lots of omgwtf moments, like you described. I've got it almost to a science, but there's a part in the middle that's always tough... when the enemy tanks show up, but all you have is AT infantry to counter them. That shit is rough. Once the AT guns become available, not so bad. I also tend to have my light tanks omgwtfpwnt. Oh well. I actually prefer the brit/jap AT guns vs the US/German rocket-based antitank. The rocket ones are probably more effective, but I like the guns...they fire fast and are pretty accurate. If you get 3 AT guys in view of a tank, that thing gets pumelled to hell with a vengeance. Watching jeeps and trucks get pwnt is almost painful. The biggest bitch, to me, is that an ammo truck only holds 50 AT rounds. That's enough to resupply like 2 AT infantry. Kinda crappy, if you ask me.

Re: MoW: Assault Squad
Derf seems to be afk, so I'm gonna go out and get wasted for a while...we'll play tomorrow perhaps. I'm itching for a good game tho. Maybe after I get back for drinks.

Re: MoW: Assault Squad
Hahaha, only slightly. I'm on steam for the rest of the evening normally speaking, and you're too so we'll wait a while until Satis and/or Derf get here.
