Thanks! Hope everyone finds it useful!

Yes, these games are looking very sharp! They have so many interesting titles in the pipeline as well.

Yes, if you keep your units alive they gain experience from kills and can become more effective over a campaign.

Variety is the spice of life and all that

Definitely some work to be done. But I think there is potential for something like a modern Close Combat.

This is a different developer, both under the Slitherine publishing umbrella. Broken Arrow will easily be their biggest game this year, doubt they’ll forget about it!

Be sure to send them your feedback on how it could be improved!

I think there is room for many styles. But of course we each have our own taste!

Glad it was clear! Thanks for watching

Hey thanks! Great work on the game, I’m really enjoying tinkering around with it, awesome idea!

Yes, I think my initial impression was a bit off thinking it should play faster, but really it’s much closer to Close Combat, where the units do move at a realistic pace

You are correct on the primary gameplay, there is a campaign layer to it, linking all of the missions together.

In the current build it appears they always have the same composition. Not sure about the full game, as it has a lengthy campaign. Battlefield Heroes! That’s exactly it. I will have to go listen haha

That was some of the feedback I gave as well. Lots of little things they could do to improve the controls.

No, I don’t think it’s connected at all. Different developer, different mechanics, totally different style.

Combat Mission is so much better.

@@adhabens Its janky as fuck and won't be updated by the grognards at all.

Yeah! I grew up playing Close Combat in computer lab, it put me on the wargaming path!

Close combat looks better.

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!

Yeah, I had it up on the shelf for a while after they put the campaign portion on hold. After playing it again I remember how thrilling it can be. One moment calm, the next it’s chaos.

Agreed! A little rough on the graphics but I can overlook that for interesting mechanics.

Thanks for the boost! What are you playing right now? Anything you’re looking forward to this year?

@@ExampleOfPlay I've been hopping around some games. Played some Warno, GoH Ostfront, and Combat Mission. Hoping to play some more ABII eventually. Looking forward to Never Second in Rome, Menace, and Strategos.

@@MrSquishyMelon Sounds like me, I’m always hopping from one game to another. I’m really looking forward to Menace especially, wish it wasn’t so far off.

Wow! Thanks for watching! Hopefully you found it useful!

They also added a new tutorial mission at the end of the original series of tutorial missions. It’s a big battle with lots of dialogue. Made me hyped for a proper single player campaign!

It’s a great game to both play and watch, a real spectacle as the matches ramp up!

Glad you’re here, thanks for watching!

Do you like Zero-K better? I’ve seen it but have not had time to try yet. Both are cut from the same cloth of Total Annihilation and SupCom right?

Maybe you are too young to get the reference, but both came from Total Annihilation.... an even older game.... a Lot Older.... "Zero-K and BAR share their roots, they both forked from Balanced Annihilation, BAR in february 2019, Zero-K in 2007. If you have played both of these games you surely have noticed a lot of similarities. Both games run on the same open source engine - Recoil, they share maps, many widgets and even some unit models." - BAR website BAR is a lot more polished and a lot more faithful with the original game.

That is perfect! Works great for this game especially. Thanks for watching and the tip!

Great game! I have not played in a while but I would recommend to anyone. Some similar concepts to gathering resources and scaling up. I tried the sequel IXE which is a different kind of game, it was interesting, but hoping they make CW 5 next.

I miss the giant manuals! Thanks for watching!

I’ll be trying to do reviews of many of these games as they come out! Not everything, there’s only so much time of course.

Since I started playing it’s been difficult to put down!

@@ExampleOfPlay You might also want to try out the previous 'flagship' game on the same engine : Zero-K. It has weirder units (like whole starting factories based around jumpbots, shieldbots, spiders), commander upgrades, terrain terraforming, a campaign... also recently added a new game mode with infinite unit upgrades. (I have a bunch of Zero-K videos linked in my TA playlist.)

@ I have it on my big list! Will try it out eventually.

I don’t think you are able to select the camo right now. I’m not sure if it’s tied to particular vehicles or depends on the location of the scenario, but as far as I know you just get what you get.

Stay tuned for more! I try to keep these short and sweet for that reason.

Thanks for watching!

I think the game is in a good place now. I’m in the same boat, hoping to make some time for a deeper dive.

It’s very tempting isn’t it!? I’m holding off until I see reviews and player reactions, but I might have to give in if people love it.

For Ultimate General? I had only seen the initial reports!

Glad you enjoyed it! I’ll probably keep doing them occasionally. It’s very easy to whip up an interesting battle and play it out.

@@ExampleOfPlay I´m very tempted to get this game, but I don´t know anything about war units, etc

Awesome! Thanks for the tips!

Well played match. Max range is fine. Killing enemy fast is usually better than conserving ammo. Particularly if aircrafts bomb your forces. Except for infantry. Being hidden is important for infantry. If you look at vehicle info, there is often stowed ammo. It takes some extra time to load from stowage. Smoke launcher is very good if you play mechanized units aggressively: Drive to where you start taking fire, pop smoke, unload infantry, drive to cover. Mortars then making more smoke screen for infantry to get into buildings is adviced. In armored Brigade II it is usually best to keep armor hidden until enemy armor is mostly dealt with and enemy air power is spent. Tanks are very expensive poinwise. If you lose them you lose the match. More so than with infantry. Yet this match between Germanies was a bit odd. Leopard 1 was a bit of an oddity for a MBT. It was a glass cannon. Lightly armored, but fast. Them using max range was definitely the best choise. Still, not many survived.

@ Thanks for the analysis! I love that this game is pretty easy to learn but the strategies and tactics can get very deep. It was tough losing so many Leopards to aircraft, but that was not surprising given how much air support the AI brought.

Thanks for watching! Resupply in battle is on their roadmap of things they want to add. No idea on timeline. My understanding is that they want to add several features and updates before the game launches on Steam.

It’s so good! Love how it blends so many mechanics together seamlessly.

Thanks for watching! Yeah it looks pretty good!

Well said! I think giving the other factions real character and motivations adds a lot to the experience vs the usual 4x sandbox. Thanks for watching!

Yes, it does have that feeling of fighting over the resource nodes like in Dawn of War/Company of Heroes! I’m hoping they keep refining this mode, could be really great.
