Thorondor Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Close Combat: Panthers in the Fog With a full team now behind it, Close Combat: Panthers in the Fog is looking to part the mists. Having a rich history as a series to draw from and the advantage of full ownership, Slitherine and Matrix Games are setting out to make some bold advancements.https://www.strategycore.co.uk/site/assets/files/1641/news-thumbnail_sc_cc_panthers_itf_sm_pe_2012_bnr.jpg https://www.strategycore.co.uk/site/assets/files/1641/news-thumbnail_typhoon_strike.jpg https://www.strategycore.co.uk/site/assets/files/1641/news-thumbnail_ambush_in_the_mist.jpg Focusing on infantry tactics and designed largely around the interactions of infantry with other units it shall be featuring persistent units and casualties, largely in the vein of Close Combat 5 in this respect. Expect to see enhanced air and artillery support, usable in both the tactical and strategic sections of this offering, and, evidently, fog of war as well. Director of Development Iain McNeil spoke to us about the much improved strategic layer of the game, mentioning a grand campaign composed of 35 linked battles, the availability of single scenarios, operations, the Mortagne offensive and integrated multiplayer. While release will take place only on the 4th Quarter of 2012, the push for 32-bit graphics is very real and our close-up recon work yielded some fresh screenshots for your fuller briefing.

owen magnetic Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I must admit disappointment that Panzers in the Fog is not a sequel to Gorillas in the Mist. But I'm glad Close Combat is back. Pete and FullAuto 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Like how Battle Academy was not a Police Academy sequel? Disappointment on a digital plate. owen magnetic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I must admit disappointment that Panzers in the Fog is not a sequel to Gorillas in the Mist. I nearly wet myself. And hi Owen - oddly enough I was browsing around Pocket Tactics whilst you were posting this I'm definitely going to invest in an Android tablet at some point if BA is to be released on that platform. There's something apart from money preventing me from getting an iPad (mostly money but also a little disgust at myself that I would then own the phone and the tablet from Apple whereas I really want something Android). owen magnetic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I own BA and PC, but I know I'm going to end up with a tablet with them on. It's silly in one respect, but everyone who thinks that is sat there with nothing to do while I play TB games on my tablet. Idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's silly in one respect, but everyone who thinks that is sat there with nothing to do while I play TB games on my tablet. Idiots. Indeed. But promise me you'll invest in a PC first? (My fat fingers just typed "incest" first before "invest" - don't do that as it's frowned upon depending on your geographical region). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well cheers, good sir. I was telling Thorondor today how much time I used to spend 'round these parts when Silent Storm was new. Best to leave that forums account in the past now that I am a respectable web proprietor and whatnot. If I can be so presumptuous as to recommend an Android tablet: I was lucky enough to nab an HP Touchpad at a knockdown price when the fire sale was on. You can get them secondhand fairly cheap on Amazon, and they're pretty good once you've exorcised the WebOS and installed CyanogenMod. I've also heard good things about the new Transformer Prime.

Pete Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I've got my eye on the Transformer Prime, but have yet to get my grubby mitts on one. I'm actually holding off and waiting to see what, if anything, emerges when Windows 8 is released. I had a play with an early beta on a laptop and it wasn't the best to say the least, but if developers can get their heads around developing for Windows 8 on the PC/Laptop and Windows 8 on tablet (two very different beasts coding wise from what I understand but it might well be easier for games that don't require too much poke?) then maybe I'll only have to buy games once, and that would be looovely.

FullAuto Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Christ, I just Googled "HP Touchpad" and the internet practically shouted at me in Italian. I'll try to find one when I'm home. But promise me you'll invest in a PC first? I'm genuinely not sure the hamster can be evicted at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
