Forum Overview :: Mischief Maker's Maker's Mark :: This genre bugs the hell out of me

[quote name="fabio"]This, Laser Squad Nemesis, and the Combat Mission series with their "turn based planning, real time execution". In this and Laser Squad's case, only a small part of it is actual squad tactics. The vast majority of your planning revolves around fussing over the overly precise order of operations when you spot an enemy. You're not so much ordering soldiers as setting up behavior scripts for robots to follow. With all of them, it felt like your average RTS game with 10 second lag time, screaming WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU IDIOT as you frantically wait for 10 seconds to be up so you can try again at getting them to do what you want.[/quote]
