You can't. On steam it's pre-purchase, I guess it's different to ordering.
[QUOTE=croguy;28166114]At the end of the penal unit mission I had only like a single T34, 5 soldiers, a stolen pak and that AA truck. then I had to fight off the German Assault. :argh:[/QUOTE]
how are you supposed to do this shit with limited soldiers, the last of my soldier was prone behind an destroyed tank while the enemies were all over the place.
I never really had any trouble with the penal mission
Just run to trenches, steal a few smoke nades and advance, repeat, rinse, get tank, fuck shit up, grenade crews, steal all their shit and use it to kill their shit.

Actually, I'm wondering why didn't the command send additional support there, I saw a shitload of troops cruise by and nobody paid attention to the massive German tank squad standing right next to them.

the guys who make men of war need to hire you.
Anyone remembers how to unlock all the singleplayer missions? Can't be bothered to play through all of them [B]again[/B].
Nevermind found it.

Same here. I had maybe one full squad by the end, I don't know why everyone seems to be having trouble with it.

Could we get this scenario and a how-to to play/see it in action? :v:

Let me actually make it less sit and watch first :v:, and add some airbase behind the jap lines, and a fuel/ammo depot maybe.
I'll make it so you can call in sturmovik squads and lvt 4's

P.S. for those unlucky souls who haven't realized it yet, there are autosaves pretty often. I used them a bit on Penal Unit, but the trick there is to just prepare for everything. I have...about 8 soldiers, 1 t34, and one of the smaller tanks from the beginning. I had a gun pulled up on a hill to the right behind the road to ambush anything that came through from behind, I had two flak guns manned to deal with infantry, and I had an AT gun or two to take out everything else. The T34 was just insurance.
I set up everything pretty well on my second reload of the autosave near the beginning of the defense and I didn't have any trouble at all.
Don't get me wrong, first time around I got stomped because I thought the attack would only come from one direction. The mission i'm stuck on right now is the Svastopol defense. I really don't like defense missions.

Eh, I like both Defense and Offensive missions, but Defense missions are better because most of the time in Offensive you get handed out a small amount of troops against a stronger enemy, then get forced to go through a meat grinder, only to be told to stop a bulldozer with an ice cream cone at the end.
Yeah, but in some defense missions (SEVASTOPOOOOOOLLLLLLLL) you're given a few guys and a few AT guns that can't pen shit and told to defend against 5 billion stugs.

Eh, Sevastopol always had a varying difficulty for me. At one point the first line fell for me when I already had six ships leave, and at the other I only had two ships leave before the center and left flank got oblirated by infantry. The reinforcements were also preety derp, they got stuck next to the bridge and refused to go to the trenches until I specifically ordered them to, althrough I pin pointed where should they go upon spawn.
I was super excited when the two reserve 34-76s came.
then they got stugged.
fuck you daimler benz
[QUOTE=the_killer24;28166118]Rate me boxes/clocks, but how do I cancel my preorder? (not going to cancel it, just need to know)[/QUOTE]
I didn't get mine through steam, so all the paypal messages I got were very different. I can dispute the payment easily. That, in conjunction with emailing support should get me my money back.
I think I'll keep it though. Skirmish is its saving grace.
I got the demo for AS; played through the first mission. I blew through the Japanese Lines quietly easily with the Stuarts and the Amphibious Arty/Tank once they became available(The tanks the Japanese had sucked and my tanks took them out quiet easily.) I am wanting to preorder this now that I have DoW II: Retribution out of the way
For some reason the "Download Demo" button for Assault Squad just...doesn't work for me. I get a hand icon but clicking does absolutely nothing. Basic google search helped exactly...not at all.
Any ideas?
jesus fucking christ.
can anyone beat the russian train level? this has got to be the third time i've gotten to 99% and lost.
What difficulty are you playing it at? I just left the soldiers where they were and laid a lot of AT mines, occasionally AP mines closer to the train. Conserve your AT riflemen and field guns, and you shouldn't be using your T-34/76 for anything but defending those last two roads. I honestly don't know how you lose that level, they give you everything.

Oh, and do NOT under-estimate molotovs. If you can hit their engine, or hit their front and have them drive over the fire, it will destroy the tank. Every single soldier has 2 of them IIRC, and you can throw them twice as far as AT nades. Put a few men by the outer walls, so you can kamikaze the tanks that come in.
The extra throw distance means you can throw them over walls and buildings much better. Especially helpful when defending that wall by the rear of the train, near where your sniper starts. You can just have some guys go prone up there and toss molotovs over the wall, because a lot of tanks go by there.

Mine. The. Approach. Paths.
It's easy as hell when they can't advance one meter without blowing up a vehicle
We should get together some people and do a 4x4 or something. Some kind of game. Preferably with GSM 3 but vanilla would be fine as well.

Did you pre-order the game first?
I'm thinking on buying this game, but I'm not sure what's better, Men of War Gold Edition, or Assault Squad?
[QUOTE=loled;28190584]I'm thinking on buying this game, but I'm not sure what's better, Men of War Gold Edition, or Assault Squad?[/QUOTE]
both
i'd say assault squad for multiplayer as everybody is going to migrate to it. We'll see about modding potential later but the only real reason to get mow gold any more is for dynamic campaign generator
