Gameplay

Battlefront is a battalion-level simulation wargame and contains four scenarios that depict battles of World War II. The scenarios are based on Battle of Gazala, Operation Market Garden, Battle of Saipan, and Novorossiysk Defensive Operation. The player can control forces of either Axis or Allied powers. Parameters like fog of war, weather, supply and reinforcements can be changed for every scenario.[1][2][3]

Reception

Larry Levandowski of Armchair General praised Battlefront for its scenarios, AI and interface. He stated that "the real point to the game is good old-fashioned war game goodness, and this is where the game stands out".[3] Konstantin Fomin of Absolute Games rated the game 75% noting its dated graphics and lack of innovations, but praising gameplay and difficulty.[4] The Wargamer gave Battlefront an Award for Excellence, describing it as "immersive and reasonably challenging".[2]

gollark: It would be astrapi child vs mageia child, in the rare case in which you got a biome-from-non-xeno-parent egg.
gollark: Er, the nebula parent.
gollark: So if you were, for whatever reason, breeding nebulae with xenowyrms, then I think the biome of the parent would matter.
gollark: ``` Q: What are the mechanics of xenowyrm breeding?A: A pair with a xeno parent can breed: an egg of a non-xeno parent, a xeno like one of the xeno parent/s, a xeno based off the biome of a non-xeno parent (ie a volcanic parent can produce a pyro xenowyrm), or a random xenowyrm (when purebreeding or breeding to a dragon without a specific biome location, ie its biome is listed as "cave"). ```
