  Been a fan of both BF and BF2. After additional 25 hours playing: I purchase support units to invade, sellect them all, invade and no-where support units. Defeat the enemy and I retreat because I didn't have enough support. Support units are present only when I invade unoccupied territory, i.e without battle. BUG? most probably. I installed the game to a clean W10, uninstalled, re-installed, nothing. Am I missiing something? Support units have always been present, without absolutely no issue in BF2 (have >1.200 hours of playing).

  If you like that old apple II game where you dial in your shots with arcs, then you might like this game. If you think this is anything other than a lame "tank-ish" game, you're going to have a bad time. Other than having Europe and England on the map, and having some actual tank names and looks, it's completely un-realistic and very lame. Don't waste your money like I did.

  I was waiting for a WWII Tank strategy game and I found it. I have been looking at Armored Brigade but that game when it come out is Cold War time frame. Unlike World of Tanks where you have to move quickly this game gives you a chance to think and plan out your moves and firing strategy. More my speed for sure. For under $20 this is well worth it and I look for more features coming soon! It Would have been nice have a tutorial but i watched several YouTube players and figured out.

  BATTLE FLEET : GROUND ASSAULT If you know BATTLE FLEET and BATTLE FLEET 2, this is the same game: turn-based gunnery combat, but with tanks not ships. So it takes a format that works well for World War Two naval combat and transfers it to ground assault, causing many problems. In BATTLE FLEET: GROUND ASSAULT the map no longer represents an expanse of ocean square miles in size, with gunnery determined by teams using mechanical computers inside ships' command centers, perhaps without ever seeing the enemy. Instead, here's a small battle just a few hundred meters across, with individual gunners making decisions quickly, plus complications like topography, contours, roads and trees and buildings and boulders, gullies and peaks and such -- direct-fire combat with complex lines of sight, typically judged by the eye, the exact opposite of naval gunnery. ***But you can't aim by line of sight in this game.*** Instead, BATTLE FLEET: GROUND ASSAULT has top-down graphics only, in essentially 2D. All your units are tanks, plus a few field guns (which can't move) and trucks (which have little tactical use). Zero infantry! You choose one of just two ammunition types (AP or HE, no HEAT, WP, smoke, etc.), you set direction and distance for the shot, and you hope for the best. If your AP can't penetrate a tank's armor, then HE will unrealistically cause more damage. You can't aim your weapons down the barrel or through a sight like real tank gunners: there's no tank or gun interface, no options like defilade, open hatches vs. buttoning up, opportunity fire, or ammo supply. You can't change tank weapons like you can with ships in the other BATTLE FLEET games. The AI in BATTLE FLEET: GROUND ASSAULT is simplistic and sometimes irrational. The computer can ignore clear shots within its line of sight while attempting to hit units that are blocked by terrain. So if there's a peak between you and the computer, the computer can blast away at the peak trying to hit you, which would never happen in reality. A skillful player will lead the computer to shoot at its own units. And, each computer-controlled unit seems to operate independently without coordinating or cooperating with the others, so they never seem to show teamwork by maneuvering to trap your tanks from different angles, or to use one tank as a decoy while others go for the kill, etc. Consequently, multiplayer offers better gameplay than solo. The campaign plays exactly the same as in the other BATTLE FLEET games, with no special rules for ground assault except the trucks you need to move around the campaign map. Most frustrating is that you have no control over where your units start each battle, so your artillery remains stuck wherever the computer randomly places it -- usually highly exposed, sometimes behind obstacles that block their fields of fire. If developers ever improve the BATTLE FLEET system to do ground assault properly, with proper AI and greater detail, including infantry and APCs and indirect-fire artillery, then this could be a better game than BATTLE FLEET 2. But right now it's just a cheap transfer of BATTLE FLEET to a radically different environment, leaving the weaknesses of the original without improvement, while creating new problems that go unaddressed. A diehard fan might enjoy this game, though not as much as the other BATTLE FLEET titles. A new player will find it simplistic and strange -- a little bit fun, very outmoded, and (in my opinion) overpriced.

  Just Plain Fun. Quite similar to the UI of Battle Fleet 2 so it was very easy to get started right away. I like it and it will be great to play in multiplayer mode. One minor issue: in the Netherlands the fixed placed artillery is elevated above ground and no targeting can make hits. So, unless the area is unoccupied it cannot be taken. I am sure this will be fixed soon. The AI still targets units out of visual range and those behind inpenetrable terrain and objects. Looking forward to unlocking new units and deploying them into the battle. Nice job!

  Great game. So far the only complaint is that I can only position minefields, recon, and airstrikes (all things with the crosshair locator) in a narrow band down the middle of the screen. In other words, there is a band to left and one to the right where I cannot position the crosshairs. Very frustrating as the enemy can. I am using a PC with WIN10.

  BFGA is not a simulation of actual units. The only real factors are the appearance and the location of guns on a unit eg. dual turret tanks have the firing point in different spots for each turret. What is somewhat generic is the actual guns on each tank. THey don't appear to really simulate actual gun variations, but rather light/medium/heavy variations (with range and penetration varying by gun type). So if you approach it as a non-historical tactical battle, you will be pleasantly satisfied. It looks great, and plays well. Using proper tank tactics is strongly encouraged by the fact that if you don't use them, you will be decimated. Cover is important, and line of sight management is vital. If you can't see it, odds are you can't hit it... The AI is competant at the tactical level and uses terain (and cards) well. Cards give things such as instant repair of tread damage, recon flights, air strikes, minefields or even extra range circles for one of your units. At the campaign level, the AI is weaker and seems to be less aggressive - but this might be just because I have tried playing the Allied forces with the AI being the defensive Axis forces. IT might be more aggressive as the Allies. Combat invloves moving and shooting your units. Watch the videos to see how movement works, shooting is set angle (direction) of shot, select shot type (AP or HE), and set range and then fire. Most units get 2 shots per turn, light guns get 3 and heavy artillery gets 2 shots, but must spend 1 turn reloading. terrain can block a shot - hills will absorb the shot, buildings and trees can be destroyed, possibly clearing the line of sight for a second shot. Overall, while not historically accurate, it is a lot of fun to play. Tactics matter, and ignore terrain at your own peril.

  Maybe worth five bucks, definitely not worth the twenty, here's why; CONS -Graphics from like 2007 -Unbalanced campaign -Not historically accurate -Already dead multiplayer, lucky to catch three people online -AI is either braindead or aimbotted PROS -Fun blend of strategy and action, unique -Good for fans of Axis and Allies board games (as that's almost exactly what it is) -Pretty good selection of units Honestly I would wait for a sale that puts this price way down, as these cons outweigh the pros. Battle fleet two I would reccomend 10x more.

  This is not as good as Battle Fleet 2 and it costs more, go buy Battle fleet 2 and skip this shallow game until it is on sale
