North africa would be a cool dlc. And the pacific theatre. Thanks for the in depth video dude :)

[gmtime]

The only thing I don’t like about this game is something very simple to remedy. The Germans have British accents for Pete’s sake. Even I can put on a German accent lol

[crozraven]

I genuinely wanna see something similar (war XCOM) like this but in a much more fantastical themes like Dieselpunk or Atompunk scenarios.

[NordicJarl]

I hope they add idle firing. If you want to know what i mean look up a mod for xcom 2 called idle suppression. Its kinda of a turn off if your doing a mission and your units and the enemy units stare at each other and everything is silent

[lazyjanner]

I'm still hoping for a modern 2D Close Combat game. This will have to do for now. The game looks great.

[Why_So_Serious_]

I've been searching for a digital version of Advanced Squad Leader for quite some time. I've played everything from VASL to the Close Combat series to The Troop and Battle Academy (and many others too many to mention). However, they all seem to miss something that ASL has and I can't quite put my finger on it. Here's hoping that Headquarters WW2 can bring me closer to that same ASL feeling and finally satisfy that itch.

[MikeAzul]

Definitely want to support it and hope it improves with updates and future sequels

China, India, and Burma theater would be a fun theater. To different terrain, small unit action vs large unit action.

[BrandonL]

Honestly, the gameplay is giving me Battlesector vibes, squads instead of single soldiers, vehicle combat, etc. destructible environments is straight out of Xcom however, and Im thrilled to see it.

Edit: seems this game shares a publisher with Battlesector, so not too surprising to see similarities.

[vladarinsaado]

I would like to see them add the pacific campaign.

[BunnyBun]

I love it so far! Though the shadows can be a bit harsh and result in many of my units looking very bad.

[Savak]

This concept looks like a game from 2004. This is a good thing.

[BeansWorld-ve]

This is like everyother ww2 strategy game

[ari_ww_bricks]

Looks great! Hope they add more theaters of war

[Hitmanb]

they need to add the french with the final mission being dunkerque, japanese and russian campaign

[TheKenji]

Basically it's Bolt Action the video game

[MinhNguyen-yxgh]

I personally feel that The Troop is just better.

[visceral.history]

Looks like an updated version of Panzercorps.

[GarrettWebster-mxwx]

this looks like my BELOVED battle academy! How long is the single player campaign?

[Ealdorman_of_Mercia]

The most momentum, immersion breaking thing you can do in a battle or war game is to make it.. a turn-based combat mode.. as if this was a pokemon battle.. -_-
