<t> Hello everyone. Figured I'd respond to a couple of the things stated in this thread about my video review.<br/> <br/> First, I've had the beta for about two weeks before recording the video with the release version and played almost every scenario in the game in that time. Keep in mind that I pl...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Das123<br/> Hope that helps. <E>:)</E> Wish you'd resurrect your 'Out of Eight' reviews btw - they were awesome. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <br/> I'll try it out.<br/> <br/> Thanks for the kind words about my reviews. Doing game videos involves a lot less work on my p...

What recording software was used for these videos? I have tried both FRAPS and Dxtory and neither have worked.

I did now! Thanks!

(I assumed you could do the same thing within the game, but I guess not)

<t> So I'm trying to setup the PBEM+ and it says both my user name and my e-mail have already been used (which is true, because I assume it uses the same account info as other Slitherine PBEM+ games like Battle Academy). But I can't log in using my "old" user name and password without registering fi...

Jag -
Were you ever able to get a video up?

No. There were apparently some other video capturing programs that work, but I stick with FRAPS.

In my experience, the game is not much faster than conventional turn based.

But it feels faster, since you get to play more often.

Thanks for the review! Good to see you destroying me in multiplayer wasn't mentioned!

There is a hot seat mode. Just set both sides to Human.

Some/most of the scenarios, if you play as the Germans (which is suggested), feature you attacking Soviets that are usually in a bunker behind barbed wire behind mine fields, requiring you to roll a 12 or sometimes an 11 to beat them. What is the best strategy for dealing with these units?

I would very much like to upload a video of the game to YouTube, as I do with all of the games I review, but CoH doesn't play nice with FRAPS: it won't capture video, or even take a screenshot or display the FPS.
Has anyone been able to capture video of the game? If so, what did you use?

I was looking in the manual for a list of the different hit modifiers (panicked, foot something or other) but couldn't find anything. Is there a list of what can happen when a unit is hit and what it affects? Thanks!

a number of things convinced me to get into the boardgame system

Thanks; that's the kind of response I was looking for.

<t> I'm curious what exactly makes Conflict of Heroes better than other board wargames. Basically, why did it win those awards? People familiar with the game mechanics, what makes them special? I haven't really been able to find a features list that tells me what specifically CoH innovates (just "a ...
