Couldn't agree with you more. I don't know if Xcom will be a day one purchase, but I will be buying it at full price.
About Pacific campaigns: rarely do tactical-level wargames include both the Western theater and the Pacific. You'll find that in grand strategy/operational level wargames like Hearts of Iron. One theater of war was dominated by armor, the other by naval units (not including airplanes). It's probably quite difficult modelling a tactical seaborne battle in a game focused on armor and infantry. Unless you only want the land battles available...I would think a mod (if this game is moddable) could take care of that.
The only way that could happen is if we made them all Transformers so the tanks and ships can fight in giant robot mode...
Reminds me of one of my all time favorites (bet you've never heard of it), R.A.D. (Robotic Alchemic Drive) for the PS2.
I loved that game! I remember hating the camera as it was hard to get to a position where you could see what your robot was doing but still it was studpidly fun to bash a giant robot in the middle of a city.
That was part of what made the game unique...the fact that were an average sized human remotely piloting a giant robot. OT, via Matrix Games' website, the last day of the sale either today or tommorrow.
For anyone sitting on the fence here are some lets play videos Blitzkreig France http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMSqGsfm-jU&list=PL_A9XJj-KMVyiCv3e5WpB8oWqKR7kYEPh&index=1 Market Garden http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=466uBNafkAg&list=PLQrYLOdjwRhSsTa67W2-kvjhA2y-ATgBD&index=5 Operation Husky http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Tln-Gbz3To&list=PL_A9XJj-KMVxks5FLxDXyOUw5xq3LMuY7&index=1
We had such a good response to the sale that we wanted to make sure nobody missed out. We have decided to keep Battle Academy 50% off for an additional week. If you haven't picked it up yet I recommend you do. This is probably the only sale you'll see on this game!
Ian...Any way there could be an update which incorporates the PC tutorial into the ios version? Maybe by way of a downloadable campaign? It's much more comprehensive.
