Frankly speaking...
I own AT, and I think it´s a bit clunky. Not really bad, but too much micromanagement in the logistics, replacements... departments. Also somewhat complicated interface.
So, in short: Is DC interface easier to use? Is replacements and supply automatic? I really dont care at all about economy, and want the system to handle that!

RE: Frankly speaking...
Yes. No production, research etc. in DC. Supply is also "automated".
User interface is almost identical to ATG (in fact ATG imported some features from DC), with one or two features, that
you don´t find in ATG, like group movement.

Sounds as I might like this game. No manual replacements to units, I hope? How is this handled?
RE: Frankly speaking...
Depends on what you´re playing: scenarios or campaign game.
Generally during the scenarios there are no replacements. You have to live with what you get.
Additionally you have the option to buy a unit by spending political points (from which you get a certain amount at the start of the scenario. You can´t / don´t have to produce them).
Only difference in the campaign game is that you will get replacements / reinforcements between the single scenarios.
If you generally like the way how combat & movement in ATG works, i´m sure you will like DC.

RE: Frankly speaking...
Yes, it looks like AT with more historicity, better AI, less clutter. [:)]
RE: Frankly speaking...
It's a great game. Well worth the money.[8D]
What do you mean we're out of amunition???

RE: Frankly speaking...
I disclosed elsewhere that a new DC title is in the works. The only thing I revealed so far is that it will be situated on the eastern front.
i hope to give some more info within a few months.

Vic what about patching WTP while we wait? I'd love to have a full screen option, unit highlites and a look into the British AI in case Yellow so they don't die in surrounded sky scraper stacks. Rocketman has a hugh list of requests.

within a few months... sigh
RE: Frankly speaking...
[:)] Uh yeah he said that, but Vic said that a few months ago... sooo time for a new update me thinks.
RE: Frankly speaking...
Guys,
If I would be a one man show I would give more info quicker.
Info will still come, but it just takes longer then expected. Sorry there.
Furthermore I can say I am working very hard on DC2. The Eastern front is a tough nut to crack!

Thanks for getting back to us! I've been playing Gary's War in the East, but took a break and went back to Decisive Campaigns. I really love your game! The regiment scale game play and map style are really unique. I'm sure the map of the Soviet Union and unit artwork will be nice for the next game. I really like how bridges and rivers come into play as well. I feel the only real drawback is finding a unit's organization. Otherwise, it's a very good and unique war-game!
I very much looked forward to the Eastern Front! Vic, can you give us any tidbit of info to keep the hype up? A screen shot would be awesome!!!

Well, all good things are hard to get... but is not bad show a little piece of "meat" to hungry dogs of war [:D]
If Vic is so busy can at least write a cryptic phrase like "a couple of kicks and comes all down" or "to be or not to be" or "from heaven to hell".... them we can spend lot of time with theories but is better say "DC 2 covers x campaign, soviets have minedogs and german kartonpanzers"

RE: Frankly speaking...
To say that that The East Front is a "tough nut to crack" is understatement. I suppose where to begin is a hard decision in itself. As we all know the East Front has it all. I'll take a guess and say that it will have something to do with Barbarossa.
Maybe we can expect a collection of 2-3 Barbarossa scenarios for this time around. A scenario about the first few weeks from Brest-Litovsk on. Another on the battle for Kiev. A winter battle for Moscow would be cool too... I'd imagine a battle covering the entire Eastern Front is way too big for this scale. Although if Vic were to design such a scenario, I'd play it until my eyes bleed!
What do you guys think?

RE: Frankly speaking...
A battle covering the entire East Front, that's GG's "War in the East". I have this question lingering in my mind for few months now, how does DC2 compare to WitE?
