Graviteam Tactics: Operation Star bundle (8xDLC) on massive sale on Bundlestars

[33LIMA]

Just bought this, just £4.45 Sterling (requires Steam account), for this lot, sale on for a further 3 days only:

 

- GT:OS

- Shield of the Prophet (Iran-v-Iraq, complete with Chieftains, yay!)

- Op Hooper (Angola)

- Zhalanashkol (USSR-v-China)

 

...and on the Eastern Front...

 

- Krasnaya Polyana 1943

- Shilovo 1942

- Volokonovka 1942

- Sokolovo 1943

- Hi-res textures.

 

Having now played SABOW, hopefully the wargame side of that product will be a decent intro to the mechanics of these dedicated and widely-acclaimed wargames.

Yes, I bought it too

Looks great

Just playing around with the quick battle option at the moment. Having played SABOW definitely makes the GT:OS wargame easier to pick up, though there is still a lot to learn.

 

Panzer IVs attack and fight through a hapless Soviet infantry platoon...

 

 

 

...while Iranian Chieftains provide a taste of what a Cold War NATO-v-WARPAC DLC might look like, using maps from a different DLC...

 

 

 

 

The problem I'm having at the moment is that Chieftain platoons are simply refusing to move or attack, in any quick battle; other tanks respond to orders in similar scenarios, but the Chieftains just sit tight and let the armoured infantry I want them to support - which obey similar orders - get beaten up by the defenders. Weird.

 

Edit - Chieftians now moving - they are just glacially slow.
