Played it. It's not really Herzog Zwei but it's alright by WITTGENSTEIN 05/03/2014, 9:55am PDT Mostly what kills me is how banally simple the maps are. Compared to Herzog Zwei where a map like EISFREI had 3 routes of attack, or OASIS where you had 2 land and 1 water route, the perfectly well-maintained roadways and bridges system of Airmech's maps is just too accomodating to SPAM 20 TANKS AND BUTTFUCK YOUR OPPONENT IN THE FIRST 3 MINUTES gameplay. Capturing multiple bases is pointless. Just build up a shit-ton of tanks at the beginning and hope you picked the right route to send them on.
