2. AT gun
3. AT gun
4. Stug
5. Stug

So I've only played the demo which just had one campaign level.

How does multiplayer work with regard to units?  Do you get more units during the battle?  Do you spend resource points?  Do you get X number per map, or do they add as time goes on, or...what?

The answer to the question is E. All of the above. :P

The multiplayer options are so varied. You can choose how you want to play. The only thing it doesn't have is a resource gathering system.

It's a Russian game. They love themselves. Heck, I love Russia too, now that I've played this game.

And I think they mean two panzerfausts.

P.s: This is just great. Just when I order my copy from Amazon, Steam decides to put it up at 1/2 price.

MY panzer is +5 against ogres.

(Actually, the most amusing wargame I ever saw was when the ref got one guy to bring some German WW2 forces, and the other guy to bring some orcs, and neither one knew they were fighting a cross-setting campaign >_>)

We did that once too but with WWI british against 40k orkz. For the record, the humans won. Vickers firing 15D6 shots every volley tend to not leave alot of enemies alive when they are in the middle of a charge.
