Steel Division Normandy 1944 - Gameplay Video and Commentary

Aren't you dying to see gameplay footage of your old rusty host playing at turtle speed? :)
Well, I am not getting any younger, so that's all I have for now.



On a serious note, if you have not played Steel Division, please take a look at the video. Sorry about the voice audio being so low, I will fix that in later videos.

Cheers,

In a previous blog entry, I posted a video I captured during a quick battle setup.


I would like to briefly summarize how my troops got to that crossing.

SOF Team Alpha Escapes from Bad Luck and Abkhazian Insurgents - CMANO, Comms Disruption

And I bet you wanted to know what happened to the men of SOF Team Alpha, as reported in my previous post. Team Alpha is out of comms, unable to relay new targets to the A-10Cs.

This is the tactical picture as seen by SOF Team Alpha. They can see the A-10Cs marauding around, but they also see some other close dismounted contacts.

DCS Normandy 1944 Maps and Assets

DCS 2.X has been in alpha status for so long that I forgot to care. A new map for DCS 2.1 has been released, alpha status, and it is Normandy circa 1944.

My new specialty: missing with bombs. I was supposed to hit the town ...

Tank Warfare: Tunisia 1943 - The Principle of Mass

Tanks, open desert. Infantry is optional.


One fine morning in Africa and I'm in command of a US tank battalion. And some infantry that I left at the line of departure. The Germans, dug in some two Km from my tanks. With a mix of medium tanks and support vehicles, they chose to control the objective with their fires rather than with their tracks.

Chains of War - DLC/Standalone for Command Modern Air Naval Operations

155 mm shells crossing the waters towards enemy targets near Yonan, Krangyong and Changyong. Our eclectic hunter killer group of aging Type 214s and 209-1200s can't locate a radar contact just a handful of miles south of the island of Chodo. Two North Korean vessels (hopefully just gunboats) just sailed out of the Sagot naval dock. Our Block 52 F-16CJs had unleashed a handful of AGM-88B missiles against SAM defenses opposite our installations in Yeonpyeong Island. A flight of North Korean Mig-23s is flying south from Pukchang, rabid for a kill.


WarfareSims and Matrix/Slitherine just got you into another war, and just 6 minutes into it, it gets you sweating. Even when you are winning so far.
