Ieri abbiamo terminato la seconda parte della partita multiplayer a Command Ops. Il gioco è terminato con la mia vittoria, ma solo perchè il gioco era sbilanciato a mio favore. Giovedì prossimo cominciamo un nuovo scenario. E' davvero un gran gioco e in multiplayer è anche meglio. Suggerisco a tutti di provarlo e joinare il gruppo steam che ho creato (trovate il link qui a sinistra).
E stasera abbiamo la sessione HITS con Scourge of War.

Primo video seconda partita a PBEM CMFI
Cominciata un'altra partita a CMFI con il PBEM, stavolta faccio i tedeschi ma sono comunque in attacco; ho adottato un approccio più cauto dato che ho due ore. Ho mandato avanti gli esploratori, ai limiti del bosco per rendermi conto di dove fosse la sua prima linea. Adesso cercherò di piazzare le mitragliatrici pesanti e concentrerò la massa nel punto critico.

Spartacus 73BC DLC rilasciato
E' stata rilasciata la prima DLC per Alea Jacta Est, dedicata alla rivolta di Spartaco. La campagna era già compresa per chi aveva fatto il pre-ordine del gioco base sul sito Ageod. Ora anche gli altri potranno giocarla. Per il momento è disponibile solo sullo shop online dell'Ageod, ma penso presto sarà disponibile anche su Gamersgate.
Quarto video secondo PBEM a Ostfront
Ecco il quarto video della mia seconda partita con Panzer Command Ostfront; i sovietici hanno preso parecchi colpi duri dai miei Marder piazzati, ma meno di quello che pensavo, data la distanza di tiro. Adesso stanno avanzando anche lungo la ferrovia e c'è il rischio che sommergano i miei Marder schierati lateralmente.
Trailer per Scourge of War Chancellorsville
Quasi il video mi sfuggiva, ecco il trailer per Scourge of War Chancellorsville, il nuovo pack per Scourge of War. Data la scelta della battaglia la mappa dovrebbe essere bella grande. La Matrix lo rilascerà sia come addon per il gioco precedente sia come stand alone.
