Ha, can't wait to get my hands on it. If its still in beta why isn't it free?

Why would it be? Most games I see going into public betas aren't for free. You just buy it ahead of time.

Wow. Times changed in the last 5 years i guess.. Beta means its in testing so they let tons of people play it to check for glitches before charging people money for a broken game.
It would be like paying for a demo :/

Yeah I remember free betas. But I suppose charging for a game that has stuff added while you play covers game making costs.
Go get it now!

You had a game yet Adken? Maybe we should organise a game tonight where Reds and RT are on opposite team and tutor us newbies

Well fighting the AI turned out to be fun.
If by "fun" you enjoy fighting the ravenous hordes of Chenkhov Khan.

When the three of us where in, for some reason it was very difficult to select units, and even harder to make them move. However when I went solo vs AI I didn't have any problem.
Also, until I get used to the game, I think I need to stick as NATO British. The simple fact is I can recognise the names for most of the units, so I know roughly know what everything does.

That'll be your processor soap, or ram but you said you updated that.
I hope I'm ok, 2.5gig quad core, 8gb ram and radeon 7770. Not looked at the specs...i just went in balls deep.

British have some problems, sadly. Lack of SEAD, napalm, slow tanks, lack of IR AA and sufficient AAA.

So, Protip.
If fighting the AI on Highway to Oslo, drop napalm just north of the broken overpass near the enemy start. It wipes out most of the AI's column and causes what's let to panic.

Going to try my best to get on tonight to at least learn the controls.
How long does a game last on average?

Post by RedsandRoyals on May 9, 2013 14:29:16 GMT -5
20-30min. Longer for larger games.

Yeah sure thing. Krieger and myself tried that the other night and got the taste well and truly slapped out of our mouthes. The plan was to go to the cinema tonight, but the Wife is behind with her uni assignment, so looks like ill be on tonight too! Oh, if you add me to your list in game, it's Gav84UK.

I already added you...and everyone i could find, steam has an igmb group!!
Deck creation is key i think as brits lack some critical units, i have challengers, marines, lynx' and someother worse brit units for cheap. Then put in humvees for command units and chinooks for their huge refuels (considered the huge german trucks) also a bunch of cobras. Good times.
I can't find how to limit the selection to certain types for the extra points though, wanted a pre 1970, army :-(

This game rocks...
I've yet to finish a battle on my own as family and work provide little time.
I have however been able to get to grips with the controls a little more and just getting the sense of how it all works is great. Beginning to form roles for units more effectively and get a better idea of where to be with what.
Whens the 40k mod coming out?...
