This genre bugs the hell out of me by fabio 01/08/2012, 3:28pm PST 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.

Frozen Synapse is worth trying by Bananadine 01/08/2012, 10:25am PST     Combat is entirely deterministic. And yeah, the game is great. by Gutsby 01/08/2012, 12:51pm PST         Re: Combat is entirely deterministic.
