Frontline: Road to Moscow

Frontline: Road to Moscow is in many Ways the eccentric And somewhat own Cousin of Panzer Corps: Bastle tactics instead of epic Campaign, no Core force, no time pressure, a Focus on Resource Management rather than the Leveling of its Core Units, no Fog of War, a map visible (except for Exceptions) from the Beginning, and another Combat System built on Sight lines and Distance from the Enemy. You basically always start in more or less great Inferiority on one Side of the Map, buy additional Units if necessary, and fight your Way to the Mission Goals and Points sources. Careful Action is Mandatory to puzzle opponents for enemies through the Missions. You can still fail in the last Few minutes because you don't have enough Resources left to give Ammunition or Fuel to your Units. At The End of the day, only saves you that the AI units only become active when Approaching and willingly jump on cheap Bait Units, so that you can clear the Situation from The Background with Artillery and PAHS. Then you Advance a few Fields again, reposition yourself and lure the next Wave into Shot range. I would therefore call Frontline a tactical puzzle game. You have to get used to it a lot, but then the Game offers fun for again and again "just one More Mission." Technically, you can tell the Game the origin on the Tablet: Graphics and Sound are functional and the Operation does not require a Right Click or other Shortcuts. The Flip Side, and also the biggest Criticism of the Game as a whole, is that comfort Functions known from the PC have been poorly implemented. There is only one Memory Point per Mission and no Security Queries, which leads to Unintentional actions, especially in the option menu ("Resume" and "Surrender" lie directly next to each other ...), but also in the running Game again and again. Auxiliary Ads in the Game do not exist, so you have to count the Witch Fields yourself to correctly determine the Shot range. In Addition, there are Display errors such as in APCR mode, a sometimes almost random-based way and a strictly linear "Quest Log": If you meet the Primary goal first In the last Round of play and then one of the optional goals, The latter is no longer registered and you can make a completely new Start if you want to achieve the best Score. In short: Over a Dozen Hours of Entertainment, but also sometimes Frustration, at the Budget price for passionate hobby tacticians. Technically improved.
