New game "Wargame: European Escalation"

[Reschke]

Anyone got this or planning on getting it? I have heard of it from some others while playing World in Conflict online but haven't heard anything about the game overall.

     First I'd heard of it, then I got this email from gamersgate today 



     Looks pretty good for $40.

I got an email a while back look up the trailer for it online.  Really well done makes the game look great.  I heard these games have a real high learning curve and a slow pace though.  Well so does AH.

[Reschke]

Yeah I imagine it does have a high learning curve and I am looking at it seriously; just don't think I want to spend the money before I play a demo of it. Especially once I buy it on STEAM it is mine. Even if I don't like it.

Trukk and I have played Company of Heroes ever since it came out. hoping that this one is as good as it was. may end up playing it for a few years.

Looks cool. Wonder if European terrain is detailed with correct locations.
Everyone knows any invasion into Germany comes through the Fulda Gap
When I was in 2nd Armored Div, Kirsche-Goens, Germany (The Rock) in the 80's we went on alert monthly, to our battle area
covering approaches from the East, against Warsaw Pact forces in the Gap.
Funny thing is, all newer bridges located near the former East-West German border
are arch type bridges. Reason - they were pre-set with explosive charges.
Another interesting thing. You see manholes everywhere, in unexpected places, like
a one lane road paralleling a farmer's field. Reason - Ammunition caches.
I had the experience of doing border augmentation tours, in relief of 11th or 4th ACR,
doing dismounted patrols in the "Tri-zonal Point", where East-West Germany and Czechoslovakia borders met.
Was a great experience.
Oh, back to the game. Looks like in might be good tactical/strategic game.

What is it a multi-FPS or what?

I saw the trailer for it..was excited...then I saw the part where the infantry just rushes forward like lemmings firing their rifles at an Abrams tank.


.... and my interest disappeared.

The infantry have anti-tank weapons like M-72 and RPG-7, they just need to get close enough. Shooting at the tank with rifles can stun the crew or destroy sensitive components like sights and scopes. The Soviets actually did train for human-wave attacks against tanks.

Only played the first mission so far. The game is pretty good!
