Does anyone remember Hidden & Dangerous? It was a tactical squad-based FPS that was based on SAS missions in WWII.

It was so difficult, it was basically the “Dark Souls” of WWII shooters. One wrong move would trigger the alarm for an entire base and you would die in a hail of bulletfire. None of this “one man army” Call of Duty stuff, you had to think about every move, every kill to complete the mission.

I have fond memories of sitting around a CRT monitor with a couple of my friends, blanket draped over our heads so we could see better in the night missions, knuckles white with tension. Come to think of it, our moms were probably wondering what the hell we were looking at…  :lol:

I’m playing my first online game now.  I ever realized just how rushed my tactical analysis was playing ftf!

My only real complaints about the cite are that it does not facilitate messaging multiple opponents in a single thread, ad it allows messaging during retreats and adjustments.  Otherwise all is good!

Why are you fighting each other for Gondor?�

Yeah, that is a good way to lose fast.

I think having the 9 year old made that happen!  :-D

Don’t worry, I had a coworker that teamed up with me but the other two guys told him to do the opposite of everything I said….while it wasn’t my fastest lost ever, I almost went to jail for murder.

Well, he is still young. Gotta make some mistakes.

Hopefully, those risk games end before the cards trade in for too many armies.

40+ armies for such a trade, added to regular production could build in a lottery mentality for your kids.

A&A has steadier reinforcement per turn and favors frontal defensive stacking .  This playing style would often lose in risk .

I would have bought that if I had known about it.

@toblerone77:

Never played this one. Though I do own it because I got it for FREE, and had cool parts.

Same for me (except for the part about getting it for free).  I particularly like the standard infantryman, with the raised rifle and pith helmet, whose design fits nicely for possible use as a WWII British or French colonial infantry unit.  The size is just right, the detailing is pretty good and there’s a wide range of colours available. The single drawback is the rectangular base, since it contrasts so much with the round bases of the OOB and HBG units.

I have played it 5 times.  Each time was unique.  The war ends when all sides play a TRUCE CARD.  You may play this strategically…  or in some cases you may be forced to play it.  Very cool system with the cards.

PA has very little micro. But it is early.
They are releasing a big update sometime this week that is going to add units and overhaul current balance. Along with unit teleporters and UI changes/additions
PA price will be 40USD on release. DRM free, and will include a boxed version.

Adjacency bonus in supcom added no strategic depth IMO. It added complexity for no reason.
There were no options, you either new how they worked and used them, or didn’t and lost. Period. It was very unituitive and a detriment to the game. Regardless of how good it may sound on paper, it was very poorly implemented and the devs made a wise decision to not include them in future games.

I will admit that supcom2 release was rushed, but most if not almost all of the complaints: reasons people disliked it were adjusted:changed not long after release in patches.
It is not fair to criticize the devs for this, the same as it is not fair to criticize LH for the flaws in 1914. I doubt any good dev wants to rush a release at the expense of quality.

I found this thread on the game. Looks really cool

Just brushing the dust off  :-D

@SS:

Funny, I play mine at work once in awhile and still trying for the computer to win. Changing cost and setups so I can get a good game.

Good luck with that one!

If you want a good game, why not play against others online?
There are many ways to do so…

It’s readily available at Target in the US for $30.00. It will be a while before I get to play it but it looks really fun!

Dunno if this is the right section,
I started looking at NAPOLEONIC EMPIRE on TripleA and I find  it interesting but I need a Manual.
Not a TripleA manual, I played lot of games at Anniverdsary, Pacific, Europe and Global, I need a specific manual for NAPOLEONIC EMPIRE gameboard, dunno about specific rules and opposed powers/alliences
Can anyone link me a pdf manual or something similar ?

Thanks

This game pits you vs 7 other real anonymous players in a variety of 4X galaxies.

Production gets you ships and technology more or less in real time. 
The income arrives every 24th hour of the game, giving you a turn-based feel.

Game leader board category graphs are also logged on various hourly intervals for that turn-based sense of competitive progress.

The how to’s highly recommend at least a few diplomatic alliances to assist on trading technology research gains.  Up to you whether you honor chat agreements, or stab someone who helped you tech up.

Playing a game on this site would need about 3 logins a day , and a game could take 2-3 wks of daily play to resolve.  Cannot login for a few days?  Well, the new ver provides an autopilot empire manager that triggers when you have not entered any commands in over a day.  My brother says the AI for it is v weak, operates only production w no ship movements, and you may only find the neighbors have taken out peripheral chunks or more of your galaxy by the time you log back in.

2 ongoing games are allowed per account. 
You can quit a game in the middle too.  This allows you to join a new galaxy waiting for the full roster of 8 players before starting.

A&A takes about 1 day to finish
this one can take 11-30+

My wife and I took 3 days to drive back from my brothers apartment , and I had many visions of that game during the trip. 
Then I realized that the fleet movements that look like your flight progress views from some of the airline flights very much mimic Sid Meier’s Railroad Tycoon (visible train movements on the tracks), which was also highly addictive.

I am married.  I plan on staying that way. 
My brother is still single.
I will refrain from this one.

Anyone played this?  Got my first taste this weekend with a 6 player game.  I played as Kate Winfield and kicked some monster ass!  Got some really good rolls and defeated more monsters than everyone else combined, even though she’s not really a brawler.  Yig surfaced and got the winning blow (and more hits on him than anyone else) to finish him off.  Really enjoyed it, but felt the others didn’t move as hard as they should.  Anyone have any thoughts on this game?

That’s true.  The supply lines also make it difficult for the invader but challanging non the less.  Linkon, you played a rough game if you went into turns 7 and 8, the game is supposed to end after the 6th turn. :-D

If it is a real board game you’re looking for, then Eclipse and her extension : you can play up to 9 players, and it’s really fun. With 9 peoples, it could take up to 5-6 hours to complete the game though.

That is too funny.

Looks pretty awesome - and would fill the void left by Battlefield 2 64 player servers no longer available.

Reminds me of those games, as well as Red Orchestra and Savage (which had large servers and the FPS & RTS blended action).

Unfortunately, the reviews of this game are terrible, which is probably why you don’t hear anyone talk about it.
