Wargame Airland Battle Beta Pre Order Monday
On monday next week the Beta will start for the new Wargame for those who pre order (about 30 - 50 euro). I'll be in it as I've spent over a thousand hours in the predecessor.
Its very ground control like, being a RTT rather than a RTS. Gameplay is quite unique and less gamey than world in conflict. It separates itself from most games by the deck feature. Each nation will have a huge amount of units but only 25 can be taken into a deck with which you then go into battle. The near endless possibilities of unit constellations and tactics allow for fascinating gameplay.
The best is that micro is somewhat important while not taking overhand. Simply driving 10 abrams into the enemy won't work. 3 - 4 abrams well managed however really kick in and once you dominate your enemy why not drive em over with those 10 abrams xD but always keeping in mind front and side armor as well as weapon range and penetration. Hoping there wont be some rpg inf or atgm in the path.
Anyway I can highly suggest the game. The previous closed beta was alright and indicated that its going to be like the predecessor but more advanced.

Interesting. I enjoyed Wargame Escalation, though the AI was very retro (infinite resources, knows exactly where you are at all times, etc) which was a source of frustration at times. _________________ YR modder/artist, DOOM mapper, aka evanb90

Yes, WEE and probably WALB too is primarily a multiplayer game. There is singleplayer with a campaign and battles against AI on all maps with all gamemodes but it heavily cheats and can't provide the experience with and against human players. _________________ Free Tibed!
