During the interlude you can map out exactly how your units are going to move and attack, and you can see exactly how the enemy units move, and what actions they will take. PB's WEGO segments only last for between 5 & 10 seconds. I've played my share of Combat Mission releases, but it's been quite a while ago. I'm not sure about Combat Mission's WEGO system. In my near 50 year video game playing history, this was a high point, simply outstanding. I was even able to see this coming (via the games' ingenious prescience feature), so I just watched, no need to take another shot. This tactic took a few turns, but in the end I had completely destroyed one enemy mech, and the other was so crippled that the pilot was forced to eject as his mech limped down the street. At the same time, I kept my sniper at optimum distance where he could pummel the enemy mech struggling to get back on its feet. repeated melee attacks, which kept the opponent knocked down and unable to fight back. I was able to use my brawler (after his shotty got destroyed) like a bowling ball, i.e.
The way that I was able to prevail points to the awesomeness of this game. Half way through the battle I had to withdraw my scout/leader because his weapons (& both arms) were blown off. We faced only two enemy mechs, but as it turned out, they were superior machines. Rated as "very hard" I nonetheless decided to deploy only my three highest rated mechs, a leader/scout, a brawler (shotgun & shield), and a sniper. My mobile base stumbled upon an "abandoned" research facility which is where this battle took place. I'm on about day 8 of the campaign, have four mechs rated from 2.5 to 3, and 4 pilots. I'll try to give you a feel of the game with a description of the battle that I fought today: I went for it, and so far this game is, to me, amazing. Being an old "f" now, I don't much care about video games anymore, that is, until I read Jarhead's posts about PB on Groghead's computer gaming forum. In 1974 I first played "pong" with my roommate at a bar on University Ave.
I've been playing video games for a long time.
