Rilasciato upgrade 2.0 per Battle for Normandy

E' stato rilasciato l'upgrade 2.0 che porta il motore di CMBN allo stesso livello di CMFI. Il costo è di 10 euro. Io ho pianificato di prenderlo nel bundle con l'espansione Market Garden quando uscirà, dovrebbe essere meno costoso.

Battlefront.com announced today that the 2.0 upgrade for their WEGO turn-based strategy game Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy is now available.

Additional features of the 2.0 upgrade include:
Moveable Waypoints
Ability to assign special uniform types for select units types on a unit by unit basis.

Just a note that the 2.0 upgrade is not a standalone game and requires Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy to play. It is also not an update, but a purchasable upgrade for $10 (plus shipping and handling if appliable). Battlefront has mentioned that in the meantime, Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy v1.0 base game is available at a special price for $35, with the upgraded 2.0 version being made available at regular price in the near future, with 1.0 being phased out.

Terza serata con la conquista di Nimega

Ieri sera terza serata con lo scenario di Command Ops Highway to the Reich che vede l'82ma divisione alla conquista di Nimega. Le posizioni sono ormai attestate e ho ripulito l'area a ovest della città. L'ostacolo più grande che le forze corazzate inglesi troveranno sarà appunto la difficoltà ad attraversare sui ponti distrutti. Mancano 6-7 ore al loro arrivo e nel frattempo cerco di manovrare con i paracadutisti per sgomberare un lato del fiume prima della città in modo da non dover combattere una battaglia di attraversamento. Intanto le forze tedesche contrattaccano da sud e cercano appunto di bloccare il lato est del fiume.

Annunciato IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad

http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/12/11/il-2-sturmovik-battle-of-stalingrad-announced/



Word comes through from 1C that the Russian publisher is teaming up with 777 Studios, creators of the Rise of Flight series, to form 1C Game Studios. This new developer’s first project will be IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad, the next game in the highly regarded (well, except for Cliffs of Dover) series of World War 2 flight sims.

The game will focus on the Eastern Front between 1942 and 1943. According to 1C, “the battle of Stalingrad was an important turning point for both the Soviet and German armies in WWII, with the air war playing an important role in the outcome.”

The announcement promises both single and multiplayer scenarios, and teases “brand new gameplay modes.” The team are prepping for take-off in early-2014.

The company also makes excited promises about what flight sim fans can expect from the new studio. “This partnership is also a turning point for the combat flight simulation genre that will streamline development of flight-simulation products and allow collaboration between former competitors.” Which actually sounds rather sinister.

Certainly both IL-2 and the WW1 focused Rise of Flight have been well-received critically, and having the two studios reaffirming their commitment to the genre can only be a good thing. And Rise of Flight fans should have no fear of being grounded. 777′s head, Jason Williams, has promised the team will also be producing additional content for the title.
