Regiments

See some real improvements from the last time I played a year ago, but sadly it is still falling short of WARNO. Game play is more fun now, but there are still mechanics issues. i.e. it is still amazing how often weapons with high hit probabilities can miss (i.e. Hellfires with 95% hit rating and a veteran crew will miss about half the time if not more.) I've not had a chance to play coop yet, but will try if I can convince the group I play with to buy it. Not sure about the campaign missions as I refuse to play Russians and the campaign forces that, so probably will never play those. Skirmish mode is a bit lame due to "bouncing objectives". They just bounce back and forth from one side of the map to the other. It makes the only viable strategy against the AI to retreat all your units when the objectives shift so you can bring fresh units in closer to the new objectives. Then when it shifts back, just retreat all your units so they can repair & reload while you spawn in new units near the objectives. It is a pretty lame mechanic, but since objectives are arbitrary and have no progressive value other than capturing them, there is no reason to try and maneuver units across the entire map. Compared to skirmish scenarios like front line in CoD:GoH it is pretty weak. WARNOs campaigns and ops are much more immersive that what I see offered here, but once again, I've not really played theirs due to my anti-Russian bias (my hang-up, so not really the devs issue.) I'm hopeful they keep refining this. There is a good RTS in here, thee devs just have to get out of their own way. I'd really like to recommend it, but when I play a few games and then find myself wanting to head back to WARNO or CoD:GoH, I can't quite do it. I can only assume the highly positive reviews are due to PvP (something I do not even try to do due to rampant cheating across all RTS games.) If that's your thing, look at other reviews, as I cannot speak to that.
