So you think it's awesome that someone playing in a tournament is going to have to decide between paying money to repair their items or playing with less potent ones? That literally directly gives an advantage to the player who is willing to pay.

I have a Team of Top Men working around the clock to discover new ways I could care less about the discomfiture of tournament players


Barring some new theoretical breakthrough I must regrettably conclude that it is impossible for me to care less


If anything I am now actively rejoicing in it

Now let's pretend Relic implements the CoHO shop system. We have no idea if they will or not, but let's just pretend they do. Suddenly your commanders and bulletins only last a few games before you have to repair them with supply. That's fine and dandy until you realize that your super fancy King Tiger costs more supply to repair than you receive for free after each game. Suddenly you're faced with a decision: do I remove my King Tiger every few games and accept playing with inferior units, or do I pay Relic a few bucks for the privilege of continuing to be able to use this unit in every single game?

Which is a strategic level decision forcing you to decide if you want to use the same commander and the same units every game or "I can beat this guy without using X"

Sorry, that sounds awesome - more or less exactly how AA works because it is not setup to use the same Company all the way through.

You might not necessarily be able to employ the same methods in every game so it would force people to explore and use a variety of tactics.

No more "Wah, stale call-in meta" and the advantage in the game shifts from people who find the optimum strats for each patch and execute it effectively (which you have been complaining about), to those able to effectively play and use with all the tools at their disposal.


So there's some reservations about that, but almost everyone here is crying about how awful this could be on the basis of no evidence whatsoever about how it will be implemented, I can equally sit here and point out the upsides if it's done well.

When Relic charged people for the WFA factions, nobody bitched. When Relic charged for a new single-player campaign in AA, nobody bitched. When Relic charged for new ToW missions, nobody bitched. When Relic added new skins and faceplates and victory strikes and decals, nobody bitched.

Yes they did

They complained that they were too expensive

They complained that they weren't interested in buying them

They complained that Relic were working on that rather than doing what they wanted Relic to do

In other words, you fuck over a lot of the people who frequent these boards.

See above for my thoughts on this

Also:

Good

Despite lots of evidence to the contrary the 1v1 Taliban persist in deluding themselves that are in anyway relevant, let alone important

Partisans was last month

NKVD was also in January

Mech Assault


So far this year we are at 2 Ost and 2 Sov.


At least in part this is demand driven, I was writing Mech Assault before becoming on staff because it's a Commander that sees plenty of questions.

If there is demand for more US content we can probably do it, though as there are fewer commanders in that faction there is inherently less to be done

There is even an awesome picture of Stukas in the spanish civil war (white with blaack cross)


GJ !!

Thank you.

I don't have an NDA so I can say that there will be some more Spanish content coming soon

The only way to win as allies in 2v2+ is to have an Arranged team

Really?

Obviously I must be doing something wrong then
