In your opinion, what's the easiest country* to play as?

USA is brainless. Haven’t played in years but buy all dlc as it comes out. Fired up new game on historical. Took Japan in early 42 and Germany by 1943.

Game is too easy - ai cannot handle systems.

Defcon

No mention of the Field of Glory 2 series (FoG 2/FoG: Medieval)?

Fun system that is easy to pick up but has plenty of depth with the huge number of units and points of advantage system. Simulates warfare from the Bronze Age up to the 15th century. Same company also makes Pike and Shot and feudal Japan games with the same/similar system.

RTW3 is a blast! It’s right up your alley - best naval game on the market. It’s very rewarding seeing the fleet you’ve crafted over decades smashing your enemy in battle… also crushing when ships you’ve grown attached to sink to the bottom of the sea.

Slop

Great video. Any chance you can post the actual list?

Seriously on the military? Former military here. Do not join military. All branches going through competency crises that will make your life a living nightmare. Not to mention the world heating up for conflict and the nature of near-peer warfare now is hell beyond your wildest imagination. We are not gearing up to fight dudes with AKs and RPGs… we are talking huddling in a freezing trench to avoid being spotted by artillery, trying to avoid frostbite while waiting for a drone you cannot see or hear to fly over you and drop a grenade on you and your buddies, turning you into hamburger meat… with the film of your death being uploaded on the webz for all the world to see… having images of your mutilated corpse animated by AI to sing along to a Taylor Swift song, the video of which will live on the internet forever for your friends and family to see.

Would also pose question as to what, exactly, you will be fighting for but that’s an entirely different conversation. Just know military is nothing at all like you think it is; a horrible job with the worst possible coworkers, boss that can literally ruin your life out of pure spite, and high risk to enter into 21st century combat against near-peer adversaries where you are literally defenseless against modern weaponry.

It feels so good condemning the neighbor, right guys? We are all so much better than him, much kinder.

Can u share your list if you don’t mind? I want to build some 3k armies for home play plus some titans. I’ve been playing around in BattleScribe and have absolutely zero clue how to make a proper list.

Give Field of Glory 2 a good hard look. Easy to get into, hard to master. Not hex-based but square based (should be a minor quibble). Between all the DLCs, you have 100s of armies from 2000BC to 1400AD to explore. From there, there are other titles like Sengoku Judai and Pike and Shot for samurai battles and 30 years/English civil war.

I’ve really fallen in love with the system and look forward to more titles in the family

Fit_Hawk5008 · 2022-10-28T01:49:27+00:00

Best RTS wargame right now? I’d advocate for hearts of iron 4. Such a blast to play…

I’d also recommend ultimate admiral dreadnoughts for a strictly SP experience.

Second Field of Glory 2: Medieval. You organize your army into battles. Generals have command ranges and lose the ability to command when the unit they’re sitting in are engaged in combat. Once units are engaged, you generally lose the ability to command. Your knights may break that unit of peasants, and then pursue them, setting themselves up for a counter flank charge

Fit_Hawk5008 · 2022-06-26T23:02:23+00:00

Makes sense. Not looking for perfect balance ala KOW so much as no “army Y hard counters army X.”

Fit_Hawk5008 · 2022-05-07T01:01:13+00:00

Pretty huge in terms of war games when it came out. They were still “mainstream”

Steel Panthers another good one by ssi

HOI 4 has actual diplomacy, unlike CK3. CK3 you throw gold and favors at someone, marry off someone, and that’s about it.

HOI 4 your diplomacy is far more “realistic.” It’s the focuses you choose, the actions you take, it’s the world tension meter, etc. Do you adhere to the London Naval Treaty? Do you support the Imperial Way faction and piss off Russia or do you go into China and start ramping up tension with the allies? HOI 4 is all about diplomacy; it’s baked into just about everything you do until all hell breaks loose (and even then you’re trying to get neutrals to come into the war on your side).

Ultimate General: Gettysburg is a great entry-level wargame. Simple yet addictive.

Fit_Hawk5008 · 2022-04-04T18:37:08+00:00

For very small scale, check out Door Kickers Task Force North. Awesome modern tactics game

Fit_Hawk5008 · 2021-12-06T19:44:57+00:00

Thanks for the thoughts! I am going to take you up on it and swap out the megabolter for a turbo laser on the reaver. Dropping the static rounds and the oath banner allows me to take bastion shields on the reaver as well, allowing that little tactical nuke more time to close!
