Maybe I’m nitpicking, but when there’s so many nits to pick I get irritated.
You can direct those units individually, so you can have the machine gunner lay down suppressive as your other units flank, but now your squad is broken up, making them a pain to direct around, but also leading to scenarios where you have soldiers orphaned from their squad all over the place. I could cope with managing squads, but when every person in that squad breaks down to an individual unit, things become tricky. Sounds overwhelming, right? That’s because it is. In a particular squad, say an assault team, you may have a squad leader, an assault SMG unit, an assault rifle unit, medics, maybe more. There’s an assortment of tanks, conscripts, assault squads, anti-tank teams, snipers, mine sweepers, medics, and that’s just a broad overview. Aside from artillery bombardments, they’re the only thing to spend resources on, so it’s a good thing there’s plenty to choose from. They’re often the aim of the game, but command posts aren’t what the game is about. Multiplayer involves more of a king of the hill scenario, where two teams fight over an uneven number of command posts, racking up points if they control the majority. Completing these objectives rewards you with resources (just the one type) to purchase units with.
These command posts are often what the game objectives are centered around, with objectives usually tasking you to take them or defend them. Trimming away base building and resource mining, MoWAS2 boils them both down to command posts. To some this game is going to sound about as dry as a cracker in a desert, but there are moments of fun in there. The game has a focus on realism, rewarding tactical thinking and quick reactions to unexpected attacks. Men of War: Assault Squad 2, or MoWAS2, is a real time strategy game set during World War II. Not that this is a bad game, but it’s rare to find one that feels so unyielding to new players. I started playing during the game’s tutorial-free Early Access, so was forced to dive straight in, before finding out that this was akin to diving head first into a pool drained of water. Parachuting into Men of War: Assault Squad 2, I admit I was unprepared.
