Let it run in the background =P
The church was the main strategic point. Even the AI decided so and started running to
it since the beginning of the match. I didn't expect it do so because I've never seen it
doing it so they took the church first. It was recaptured. For a price.
We Germans, descended from Thor himself, taught never to retreat, never to
surrender, taught that death on the battlefield is the greatest glory you could achieve in
your life, Germans - the finest soldiers the world has ever known!
- "Be afraid, Berlin will burn to the ground, the thousand nations of the Allied empire
descend upon you!"
- "What can a man do to save his world?"
- "Instead ask yourself: What can't you do?"
- "You threaten my people with slavery and death!"
- "This is madness!"
- "Maddness?! This is Courage! We will stand and FIGHT!
A NEW AGE HAS BEGUN, AN AGE OF FREEDOM, AND ALL WILL KNOW THAT 300
GERMANS GAVE THEIR LAST BREATH TO DEFEND IT!!! SOLDIERS! TONIGHT WE DINE
IN HELL!!! GIVE THEM NOTHING! BUT TAKE FROM THEM EVERYTHING!!!
One of the rare eye-candies on the maps.
See the 3 tanks all close by each other? The AI doesn't check what their friends are
doing so in the beginning of the match all 3 tanks fire at the same target. It kinda
defeats the purpose of having a lot of tanks. They do concentrated fire even if you set them all to shoot at a different target.
On this map there is a sweet height advantage for me but i don't know how good it
really is because the LOS is shit. The game gives you line of sight as a line, but instead it
should do something like this with kill-probability percentage. Cant be that hard.
Commandos had a hearing range wave! in pixel grafix fo gods sake...
One of the last major battles. If only the retarded "15 units" limitation wouldn't be there.
Final push for absolute victory.

Not to your tastes? It's a really believable strategy/war simulator once you get into it. I play it on the off day.

Most peoples heads here would explode after you post a screenshot of TOAoW i think

I would think RPGCodex would be the forum to talk about TOAoW, when you think about the inclination of the people who post here. Sure as shit makes more sense than a forum like Bethesduh's.

2 - TOAOW has no campaign
3 - AACOTA has better AI

but... but... TOEE is crap!
Trash
Pointing and laughing.
And finally the patch is out! It took them a damn long time but now we can all enjoy the German AI calling down artillery upon us.
It's pretty hefty at 400 mb but while the readme is a bit sketchy it does seem to improve the AI.
"This update includes a sizeable amount of graphical improvements and tweaks to units and maps, a few AI improvements in both the tactical and strategic portions of the game, and a variety of bug fixes."

They were on "offensive".
That turned out shitty. I thought 5 cm would take Shermans any day. I thought wrong.
Now this map is somewhat realworld like - fucked up terrain, only one road. Technically you have to send infantry to spot shit cause tanks cant and than infantry dies, a lot. And your supporting armor eats bazookas.
Close up, cause its pretty.

Last but one update.
I actually planned to end it all with a big bang, melodrama and all that but it came like in real life - boring and as expected.
The last of the Mohicans.
Who has the honor?
И вновь продолжается бой!... (In school I used to sing that in chorus, it was awesome)
И Ленин - такой молодой,
И юный Октябрь впереди!
Kill em all! With the gloves off!
And so it ends...
At least I got some nice archive footage to watch. German Total Victory. On to France! Comrades!
