Danger Forward is the first installment in the new Combat Command 2 series by respected designer David Erickson and acclaimed developers Boku Strategy Games. Redesigned from the ground up, the new Danger Forward differs from the original by featuring brand new graphics, design tweaks, and fresh new scenarios. At the same time everything you liked from the original is still present: turn based gameplay, an emphasis on command and control, and unparalleled historical accuracy.
If youre one of the few who have never experienced the brilliance of Danger Forward be prepared to immerse yourself in one of the best gaming experiences youve ever had on your PC. Much like the wargames you grew up on, Danger Forward is set during WWII and uses a turn-based, multi-phased, approach to gameplay. Units are company sized, with maps made up of half kilometer hexes and turns representing two hours of real time. Authentic orders of battles and maps make up the twenty-seven scenarios included in the game, and with the included editor you can create new scenarios or simply alter existing ones.
The pre-made scenarios themselves are an interesting mix, with an emphasis on airborne and amphibious landings. Danger Forward covers the Western and Mediterranean Fronts, with battles taking place from Belgium to Crete, from Italy to France, and in the hypothetical Sealion scenario, even in England. The majority of scenarios cover actions that are rarely gamed in computer wargames (and some are rarely seen even in traditional boardgames), making Danger Forward an exciting new venture for most gamers. |
