Version 0.1.50 available
Admittedly it took a while but finally I can announce Version 0 1 50 Alpha of WW2T. With it comes a big chance with respect to Fog Of War rules – namely the concept of Concealed, Hidden and Dummy units. For this the Setup phase has become slightly more elaborate and sequential. Only at game start both players are allowed to inspect the order of battle. From then on Concealment rules are applied. Concealment gain and loss is handled fully automatically of course. Commands for Mopping Up and Search have been added to the Prep Fire and Movement phases. A new 8 turn scenario (with a new map) is included which makes use of all the new Concealment rules (Stalingrad Tractor Plant). It also features the Factory Building, a new building type. Many bug fixes and smaller improvements have also been shipped like for example the TAB key which allows to switch between both players in a Hotseat match.
Hi there!
I am totally New to this game, but really like the squad level turned base genre. I have played a little Lock n Load Heroes of Stalingrad and enjoyed it. Will try your game soon. Looks great! The ASL Wiki refers to your game to be simular to advanced squad leader. Thank you for your work :).
Best Regards
Thank you very much! Yes, it is very close (almost 100%) to ASL in terms of rules – or at least those rules that have been added to WW2T so far. Please don’t forget to check out the posts in the Help forum, especially the Player Guide. Thank you for your support!
Hi Ben,
I downloaded version 0.1.50 and started two hot seat scenarios. I am really enjoying this! Although I do not have much, or better say, zero background. I ordered the asl starter kit #1 to get my hands on the rules. Hope to get better then. Maybe we can get a online match together after I get a little adjusted. I can be your target practice :)^^
Yes, you are right, the rules are nowhere explained, especially not how Firepower and DRM are calculated etc. But you can deduct somehow what is possible from the Tooltip of the Command buttons. They will give you detailed information about what is missing in order to issue a Command. Let me knwo when you feel ready for a test match!
Thank you for the tip. Looking foward towards our match 🙂
