Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
Well when King Tiger tanks are more plentiful than water, along with Tiger tanks, considering only a handful were made during the entire war, you have to wonder what the designers were smoking.
It's a fair bet that during any given battle the ratio of Tigers to Panthers is about 1:1.1
Also, you get to destroy about 1% of the entire german Tiger production run in a fairly standard battle.
Anybody ever see a Sherman or a Churchill take out a King Tiger through the frontal plate? Or two or three grenades blow a tiger to bits? Play this game and you will find out.
DarthVeda, speaking of Close Combat, do you know if microsoft is making another one? I love that series and I have all 5 of them, although I didn't like the new Normandy one that much (other than the beach battles).
Close Combat is a series put out by Microsoft. I have the third isntallment of it and I frankly think it plays way better (at least way more realistically) than sudden strike.
It's not quite as pretty (not isometric, at least in III) but it is certainly a lot more fun because there is actually continuity to the missions and a quazi-Panzer General feel to the buy menu.
The Close Combat series' distribution has been taken over by SSI as of the fourth game in the series "Battle of the Bulge". I believe there is another after that and SSI is a company that will probably continue to develop the series.
