Honestly most excited for Regiments. With the addition of combat air patrol, long range SAM Kubs, and heliborne infantry, the game’s air battles will feel more complete. Heliborne infantry and towed mortars for me is gonna add a bit of tactical depth. That procedural system is exciting as well…. As much as I’m “okay” with Wargame Red Dragon, it feels so tedious to have to command so many units at once in situations where suffering heavy casualties is not optimal. It’s also the reason why I’m not getting into WARNO. However who thought that having prototype units was cool? It’s proven useful for some 2000s decks. So yeah, thanks Eugen. 😊
Seen the stats on global education outcomes? After decades of repetition of Ronald Reagan's aggressive tax cut policies public schools are bankrupt. Tax cuts require reduced expenditure, mostly defunding social spending, never police or military. If cut income, must cut expenditure.

@@TacticsWithJoe Well... offering a balanced view after only a few tutorials (in England, so was downloading in the evening, with not much time left), IT'S BRILLIANT! Just what I want: options all over the place; thousands of different unit types; maps bigger than the real East Germany. FANTASTIC! I've read that it can be really hard to win the SP game, but I don't care: I'll enjoy losing so much.
Close Combat really takes me back. I found Gates of Hell recently and it scratches that same itch. It’s under $10 USD and a steal if this genre is your jam

Pretty good review. You had me right up to the point where in the Regiments review you spoke of 113's (a US army very lightly armored personnel carrier - APC) was reigning hell down on the enemy unit. Hyperbole? - definitely - and it had me laughing out loud in my chair. A 113 has but one 50 cal (some times maybe two if the crew is creative) 50 caliber MG as it's armament and believe me when I say as good as a 50 cal is in a battle, on an APC like an M-113 it would be used for self defense or recon by fire(possible but unlikely) and probably not even then. OH yeah and by 1989 113's were almost all gone in the US Army and the ones left weren't used for much more than light support, behind the lines not expected to make contact with the enemy, training or to carry troops like cooks around. In your defense and IMO most game developers are lucky if they even know which end of a firearm the fired projectile pops out of (my example of hyperbole) let alone TO&E's of combat units. The same holds true of a lot of gamers I've played with (especially the sub 20's version). The exception is guys who actually served in the army or marines. Caveat: there are 113's in service in a variety of not USA nations. S. Korea comes to mind as an example. Anyway - keep up the good work - just dial back on the hyperbole a bit (good advice for a majority of TH-cam creators so you're not alone there).
@@werewolf1336 The US during this time had three types of Armored/Mechanized formations: M1s and Bradleys (I think all the Armored Divisions had this set up, and maybe some of the other infantry divisions) M1s and M113s (Not as common, but still plentiful) M60s and M113s (This is mostly National Guard formations, but again; I don't have the entire US CENTAG OOB on the top of my head so take this with a grain of salt)
I’ve been looking at WARNO but have been so unsure. I loved both Steel Division Games, but HATED WG:RD and Regiments. Even on sale, I don’t want to pay for a game I have the potential to not like. For those who have played all of the named games, does WARNO play more like one than the other?
Warno is very similar to SD44 in that its a smaller scale force and no off-map artillery. The only things it takes from WG:RD are the capture zones and FOBs. So you might be in luck.
@@AytchZero oh really? Hmm. Though of course the capture zones were one of the things I really didn’t like about WG:RD. I loved the more map control style of SD44/2.
@@chaoswolfgaming5591 would probably be a mixed bag for you then. Although you do not have to keep a command unit in a zone anymore (I think that was true in WG:RD if memory serves) - once its capped its capped until someone uncaps it. That and command units are more wide spread since they are distributed under their various tabs (armor, infantry, etc) rather than just under HQ/Logistics. Course none of that matters if you prefer the front line mechanic (I do too) 🙂

Why do Americans say "based off of" when "based on" is available and... you know... correct?

@@chrisdude2675 hopefully they are working on a new close Combat
I got total tank general super cheap too. Like under $20. More interesting than panzer corps 2
TTG is fun, but it is abandonware at this point. PC2 has steady updates and an active community.
@@TacticsWithJoe but there is millions of panzer general clones . TTG made a game like panzer general mix with John Tiller . No one done that before
Where can we find your mods and scenarios

@@TacticsWithJoe matrix forum is one of the worst places to preserve mods though . They usually expire
Close Combat: Modern Tactics - Mostly Negative on Steam, 36% rating. 36%. Consider only talking about games that are better than "mostly negative."
Close Combat: Bloody First..."Mixed", 51%. Another terrible game.
Armored Brigade, 88%. I may pick this one up.
