BATTLE FLEET : GROUND ASSAULT If you know BATTLE FLEET and BATTLE FLEET 2, this is the same game: turn-based gunnery combat, but with tanks not ships. So it takes a format that works well for World War Two naval combat and transfers it to ground assault, causing many problems. In BATTLE FLEET: GROUND ASSAULT the map no longer represents an expanse of ocean square miles in size, with gunnery determined by teams using mechanical computers inside ships' command centers, perhaps without ever seeing the enemy. Instead, here's a small battle just a few hundred meters across, with individual gunners making decisions quickly, plus complications like topography, contours, roads and trees and buildings and boulders, gullies and peaks and such -- direct-fire combat with complex lines of sight, typically judged by the eye, the exact opposite of naval gunnery. ***But you can't aim by line of sight in this game.*** Instead, BATTLE FLEET: GROUND ASSAULT has top-down graphics only, in essent...

About the Game
The Normandy invasion has started and it's time to move your battalions of tanks off the beaches and into the battlefields of Europe. You are in command of each tank, all the way down to the angle and power of each shot. Choose your shell type, aim by skill (not random values), move anywhere (no grids) and take on the armored machines of the Axis powers, or switch sides and defend fortress Europe from the Allied invasion.Battle Fleet: Ground Assault lands the Battle Fleet series onto the tank battlefields of World War 2. Continuing the strategy and unique “Worms” / “Scorched Earth” style angle+distance mechanic of Battle Fleet 2, Battle Fleet: Ground Assault adds destructible environments, armor, shell types and all new tactics. Hit their engines and cripple the enemy's maneuverability, or aim for the crew compartment and disable their tank for an entire turn. With a full featured campaign and a variety of single play scenarios, Battle Fleet: Ground Assault will make you feel like Patton charging through the German lines.

Great game. So far the only complaint is that I can only position minefields, recon, and airstrikes (all things with the crosshair locator) in a narrow band down the middle of the screen. In other words, there is a band to left and one to the right where I cannot position the crosshairs. Very frustrating as the enemy can. I am using a PC with WIN10.
Just Plain Fun. Quite similar to the UI of Battle Fleet 2 so it was very easy to get started right away. I like it and it will be great to play in multiplayer mode. One minor issue: in the Netherlands the fixed placed artillery is elevated above ground and no targeting can make hits. So, unless the area is unoccupied it cannot be taken. I am sure this will be fixed soon. The AI still targets units out of visual range and those behind inpenetrable terrain and objects. Looking forward to unlocking new units and deploying them into the battle. Nice job!
If you like that old apple II game where you dial in your shots with arcs, then you might like this game. If you think this is anything other than a lame "tank-ish" game, you're going to have a bad time. Other than having Europe and England on the map, and having some actual tank names and looks, it's completely un-realistic and very lame. Don't waste your money like I did.
I was waiting for a WWII Tank strategy game and I found it. I have been looking at Armored Brigade but that game when it come out is Cold War time frame. Unlike World of Tanks where you have to move quickly this game gives you a chance to think and plan out your moves and firing strategy. More my speed for sure. For under $20 this is well worth it and I look for more features coming soon! It Would have been nice have a tutorial but i watched several YouTube players and figured out.
I prefer playing against the Computer in strategy games and after very good experience with the Naval Battles I decided to try out the Land based tank battles. I was not disappointed. I regularly get my backside kicked by the Axis in combat. One has to remember that they were masters of this form of warfare for a long time and their armaments were significantly more effective. So expect to get outmanouvred and out gunned regularly. That is the way it was. Only caveat would be that I would love an upgrade bringing in the Russian Front with the Soviet equipment. This would be a cherry on the cake.
BFGA is not a simulation of actual units. The only real factors are the appearance and the location of guns on a unit eg. dual turret tanks have the firing point in different spots for each turret. What is somewhat generic is the actual guns on each tank. THey don't appear to really simulate actual gun variations, but rather light/medium/heavy variations (with range and penetration varying by gun type). So if you approach it as a non-historical tactical battle, you will be pleasantly satisfied. It looks great, and plays well. Using proper tank tactics is strongly encouraged by the fact that if you don't use them, you will be decimated. Cover is important, and line of sight management is vital. If you can't see it, odds are you can't hit it... The AI is competant at the tactical level and uses terain (and cards) well. Cards give things such as instant repair of tread damage, recon flights, air strikes, minefields or even extra range circles for one of your units. At the cam...
Been a fan of both BF and BF2. After additional 25 hours playing: I purchase support units to invade, sellect them all, invade and no-where support units. Defeat the enemy and I retreat because I didn't have enough support. Support units are present only when I invade unoccupied territory, i.e without battle. BUG? most probably. I installed the game to a clean W10, uninstalled, re-installed, nothing. Am I missiing something? Support units have always been present, without absolutely no issue in BF2 (have >1.200 hours of playing).
i love it --------- i am a youtube reviewer ----------------- not a sellout ------------- but it has its problems -------------------------------------------- i so i would give it a 5/10/IGN JOKESASIDE
Maybe worth five bucks, definitely not worth the twenty, here's why; CONS -Graphics from like 2007 -Unbalanced campaign -Not historically accurate -Already dead multiplayer, lucky to catch three people online -AI is either braindead or aimbotted PROS -Fun blend of strategy and action, unique -Good for fans of Axis and Allies board games (as that's almost exactly what it is) -Pretty good selection of units Honestly I would wait for a sale that puts this price way down, as these cons outweigh the pros. Battle fleet two I would reccomend 10x more.
