Armored Brigade (upcoming wargame)

I'll check those newsgroups.

I think that's maybe a bit double edged sword to make this a commercial product.. Publicity is nice but how many people are ready to pay for this game? It severely limits distribution. And if people must pay for it, game should be 99% ready when released. My plan is to build it to certain point and release it, then add features like scenarios and editors if there is enough interest.

This game looks good! I hope the "Time Compression" functon I see on the first shot allows issue orders while paused or slow down, like in RA and AATF, that would make a very detailed and interesting RTS if you ask me rather than a click fest, I know the argument that real commanders try themselves in a RT environment, I�m just saying you leave the option open. This well might be a game worth playing I�m always looking for. Is there any chance to get a demo scenario anytime soon?

Option to slow down is actually a good idea, I have implemented that now. Wasn't thinking it before. I don't like the idea to allow player to give orders during pause in this case. Player can plan routes, fire missions, smoke screens, edit rules of engagement etc before battle. These can be done during the action of course but that adds command delay.

There won't be scenarios in first release, just battle/map generator where you can input parameters about situation.

That sounds pretty nice! I�m really waiting to see this game relased, would be nice to see a demo soon, at least a youtube preview or something. I hope you will reconsider about giving orders while paused, that issue will give the game a broader interest.

Sorry but you still have to wait

I probably limit year to 1985 at first because it takes forever to draw vehicle graphics and add values to database. Hundreds of weapons, units, formations... By the way, if anyone is willing to help with vehicle graphics contact me.

Ok then, I'll add option to enable orders during pause.

Hopefully I can update screenshots soon to show current state.
