TheFjordFox Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Hello there! So; I'm an avid Close Combat fan, and out of all the games in the franchise, Last Stand Arnhem is in my personal opinion one of the better iterations of it. That being said, I am currently doing a playthrough of it for youtube. Now, I've played these games since the 90s, and overall racked up more hours of game-time spread across the various iterations of it than any sane human should. I suppose a good side-effect of this is that I am quite experienced with the games at this point in time! I'm playing on Elite difficulty, and given the chance, I always try to make things as hard and challenging for myself in each and every battle, barring stifling myself intentionally. Since you can edit your opponent's troop composition, I will always replace redundant units with useful ones, and if he for some reason isn't fielding as much armour as he could, I will make sure he does, so that my challenge increases, and his chances of winning increases with it. I know the AI isn't a he/she, but sometimes it feels better to humanize my computer adversary! I will start off playing through the grand campaign with the Allies, and afterwards I'll go through it with the Germans. I'll update this post with a link for the German playthrough when it's out there! At the time of writing this, there are 24 episodes currently out, but more will come rapidly, and by the time you read this, there is a good chance the playthrough is finished! Links follow below: Hope you'll enjoy! Don't be afraid of leaving a comment or subscribing - it truly makes my day when people do! Have a good one!

skyfire Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I wonder if this type of the map was used by PUBG. Not sure but feels similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFjordFox Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 An interesting thought. Who's to say? Maybe they took inspiration from this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Definitely possible. Because I remember playing map like this on mobile. They definitely took inspiration from close combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFjordFox Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 It's not a bad game to get inspiration from 🙂 All the maps are hand-made, so a lot of work has gone into them for sure. Not sure exactly what that means, but I assume drawing/painting of some sort, most likely digitally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFjordFox Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 I wanted to edit the original post to add the German playthrough to it as well, but I can't seem to do it, so instead I will add it here; Â Â They're now both completed, with a grand total of 194 episodes across both factions! Hope some of you will bet some sort of entertainment value out of them! (and that this doesn't break any forum rules due to bumping? I would edit the first post if I could.)
