As a Cold War enthusiast.. I REALLLLLY want this game...Exactly where do all the battles take place?

Sweden.

Edit: This game is just so wonderfully balanced. It's a pity then that most of the players are really bloody dumb.

Anyone interested in doing this for the lulz together?

Well, I managed to scrape together the funds to get this! I'm the same name on steam if anyone wants to play, I know I have a few people here already. I'm not availbe all that often, but if you ping me on Steam sometime after 8pm I may very well be availible.

Feel free to add me on Steam. Same name as well. I usually play sometime in the night.

Just make sure you at least have some decks ready for both sides because it can take a very long time to create proper decks.

Play PACT brother!

You can always get a game...

*ahem* so...

I tried building an "air assault" deck, and oh boy jesus gawd lordy, helicopters, helicopters for everything. ^{_{even the infantry, supplies, and command vehicles}}

Then I built a motorized for that -1 plane pack cost, which worked pretty well, you don't get T-64s and you only get 3 tank slots but its kinda nice for making a supporting role deck. Now if only there were a bonus that would give me -1 cost on support units, that would be great. AA units are costly and I use a lot of them.

EDIT: Went and built another deck, czech only, motorized. I was basically able to rebuild my old czech deck with more planes and more support vehicles. Downside was I don't get my precious visydkiri in Mi-8s, and I don't get to bring out infantry in that glorious BVP-2 or VYDRA-II, ditched sniper artillery in favor of MOAR MORTARS, ditched FOB, gnabbed a rocket arty, and I have 16 less T-55A's now, I'm sure I'll miss them. All while being able to fit four more planes into the deck.

It sure seems weird, that some specializations completely cripple a deck (Para, Air Assault, Marine), while others allow you to build a nearly identical deck except with more experienced units, or with the cost adjusters, allow you to stack the activation points and reduced costs for a general upgrade (Motorized, Mechanized, Armored).

How bad are the default lists? Not sure I could build one right now with the little knowledge I have of the game haaha.

Defaults are well balanced. In many cases, unless you really know what you are doing, the default decks are your best bet

Excellent, I figure I'll just end up customizing them as I play and say "damn, I wish I had x"

[umiman]

Marine decks are almost always universally useless. So try to avoid those unless you have a really specific plan. It's because they get no tanks, no support units and barely even have proper planes or infantry.

[Parsely]

PTW. This game I've been wanting for a long time.

[BuriBuriZaemon]

T-55 as meatshield, T-64 or T-72 as second liners, as a single T-80 at the rear + air defense support = NATO tanks go kaboom

[Evil Marahadja]

I just bought the game, anyone who want to play a game or two?

I'm not all that good at this game, SP or MP (well, I won Zhukov-2 which was nice), but it's pretty addicting. I'm not sure if that's a recommendation or not, but yaaay. Would love to play a co-op campaign with someone at some point.
