So, recently I've been playing March of War, a neat little F2P Turn Based Game currently available on Steam. The battles consist of one of three modes, destroying the enemy's command vehicle (in one mode each side has one, the other mode only one side has the vehicle, but far more defenses) or capturing all of the command points on the map. Each unit gets two moves (with an exception), and ends it's turn immediatly upon firing, much like in the new X-Com for lack of a better comparison. The exception is hit and run units, which can move-fire-move all in one turn.
In each, each match, either PVE or PVP, contributes to the "battle score", which determines which faction gets to eventually claim that territory on the over world map. Score per battle is weighted by active players, so the populations of the factions don't really come into effect much, other than how difficult it is to become a top player, and thus get votes in your faction's overarching strategy.
Of course, the upper levels of each faction is filled with the usual backstabbing, scheming, spying, and political infighting, but you can ignore this and focus simply on fighting the battles if you choose.
The basic back story is an alternate WW2, where the world is divided up among six superpowers. Those powers being the United Republic, a coalition of the United States and Canada, The Latin Junta, which in the backstory formed as a defensive measure against Republican aggression in Central America, The European Alliance a single nation state composed of the various European nations united against outside aggression, The African Warlords, which is a confederation of various minor African factions, all following the call of those above them, The Shogunate Empire, the sprawling Asian empire ruled over by Japan, and lastly, The Soviet Union, who seems to have survived the alternate history with most of itself the same as always.
Each faction has it's own strengths and weaknesses of course, both by it's units, and the level of meta game political infighting that exists. You research and unlock units by playing battles, although it's recommended you wait until level 10 to do PVP, both because of getting your army ready, and learning the game mechanics.
So, I was wondering if anyone else plays this, and if so, should be get a Bay12 group going?
