The Battle of the Bulge - 1130 on 22 December 1944 the encircled town of Bastogne, Belgium - 4 German soldiers, waving 2 white flags, approached the American lines. The senior officer was a Major Wagner of the 47th Panzer Corps. The Americans defending in that location were members of F Company of the 327th Glider Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. The Germans explained that they had a written message to be presented to the American Commander in Bastogne.

The message read: (edited for length) "To the U.S.A. Commander of the encircled town of Bastogne. The fortune of war is changing. This time the U.S.A. forces in and near Bastogne have been encircled by strong German armored units. There is only one possibility to save the encircled U.S.A troops from total annihilation: that is the honorable surrender of the encircled town. In order to think it over a term of two hours will be granted beginning with the Presentation of this note. The German Commander."

The Division Operations Officer, Lt. Col. Harry Kinnard recalled that McAulliffe when advised initially asked, "They want to surrender?" Moore told him, "No sir, they want us to surrender." McAulliffe arose and erupted in anger, took the paper, looked at it, said "Us surrender, aw nuts!", and dropped it on the floor and left the HQ.

Upon returning to the division headquarters, McAulliffe was informed that the two German officers were still waiting at the F Company Command Post. Since they brought a formal demand they felt they were entitled to a formal reply. McAulliffe asked that Col. Harper (the 327 Regimental commander) be summoned to the Division Headquarters. Harper, who was still inspecting his units' positions, was contacted by radio.

When Harper arrived at the Headquarters, he was asked to wait outside of the closed door to McAulliffe's quarters. Inside, in the presence of his staff, McAulliffe wondered aloud, "Well, I don't know what to tell them." At that point, Kinnard said, "What you said initially would be hard to beat." McAulliffe asked "What do you mean?" Kinnard, said, "Sir, you said nuts." All members of the staff enthusiastically agreed, so McAulliffe wrote it down on a message pad and said, "Have it typed up."

The reply was typed up, centered on a full sheet of paper. It read: "December 22, 1944 To the German Commander, N U T S ! The American Commander"

Harper took the reply and drove to the F Company Command Post and the German Major who asked, "Is that reply negative or affirmative?" Harper said, "The reply is decidedly not affirmative".

A true classic, and the rest is history...

I'm married to Stellaris these days. And I got really into Panzer Corps 2 earlier this year, which has a questionable premise but is a very fun game. Do you recommend Tactical Breach Wizards? I haven't heard of it

Game release: "Panzer Corps 2: Frontlines Cyrenaica" DLC (PC)

Flashback Games and Slitherine Ltd.‘s WWII strategy game Panzer Corps 2 receives another military update with the Frontlines Cyrenaica DLC. The publisher really seems to nail the warfare strategy hit formula, as could be seen with the game release of “Headquarters: World War II” and its subsequent DLCs. While I’m not a particular fan of the genre, it has to be said that the presentation and deep…

Hex Based Grid Games Research

Sid Meier's Civilization -

In this game the player makes an army that moves on an hexagonal grid based map containing different types of land such as farms that you can move your army to and harvest or take farm animals. The closer your army gets to somewhere the more of the area can be seen, however this can be dangerous as you could run into enemies out of nowhere as you can not see them.

Teamfight Tactics -

Teamfight Tactics is set in a hex style grid, where the player has a limited area to create a team to defeat their opponents. After the player places down all of their characters, they will no longer have control over them and they will attack each other until one of the teams are fully defeated. Each character comes with their own unique powers and weaknesses. The hexagonal grid view seems to be used to provide a better view of the game and allow for the player to plan more strategically.

Panzer Corps 2 -

Panzer Corps 2 is a WW2 turn-based strategy wargame played on a hex grid. The hexagonal grid provides more movement options than a square based grid which is vital for a wargame, it brings a more strategic element to the game due to the increase in possible moves and ways you can play. It uses the grid system similarly to Civilisation in the way that you move the army to different hex's on the grid to reach different things.

Research into Hex Based Games Panzer Corps 2

Panzer Corps 2 is a game where your main goal is to lead your military force through battles set during World War II. The player will be tasked with fighting hard battles using their men at their hand. They will be heavily encouraged to think tactically about what they do in this RTS game. Panzer Corps 2 uses a hex-based grid to ensure the player thinks tactically about everything they do and every move they make. The grid allows for classic RTS gameplay for the player's experience. It also helps in organizing the game's inventory for the player.

The hex-based grid allows the player to play strategically and think tactically. This allows gameplay to feel like a real war strategy, meaning the player will have to think hard but fast before they make their move in the game world. Similarly to a game I looked at not too long ago, the players and NPCs have to spend points to move across the board. However, this game is a constant battle in which the player must choose how and when to attack the enemies.

The grid affects characters' interactions by determining where they are in the game world. From there, the player's actions are affected by the grid, and so are the NPCs, in how they can move to attack and also interact with each other across the game's grid. This grid is used in a similar style to many games that have come before it. What makes this game different from others is the fact that the game focuses heavily on combat, which of course makes players think hard about what moves they make and what they do in the game's combat.

Hex-Based games

Civilization 6

Civilization 6 is an empire building 4x game, using a hex based grid. The hex based grid is most likely used for strategic gameplay.

Hexes work for strategic gameplay in Civ due to the fact that there are more edges to them then a regular square grid, hence more to consider when it comes to strategy.

For The King

For The King is an RPG that uses a hex grid for the world. I think the devs decided to use a hex system as it allows for more locomotive choices, while sticking to the gameplay effects of a grid based map, like world readability and design.

Panzer Corps 2

Panzer Corps 2 uses hex grids on their battlemaps, which is something you see quite commonly when it comes to wargames that work on a grid. The hex offers more choice when it comes to strategy and movement, which is why I think it was used here.

Overall

The hex works well for strategy games, especially strategy games set at a world or regional level, as the hex offers more movement options than a grid.

9 video games using grid based movement: hexagonal grid #1, #2, #3

#1: Civilisation V

The hexagonal grid is implemented in this game because it allows the movements to be clearer as the game utilises 6 directional movement. The grid adds to the gameplay by making the environment more visually pleasing as the hexagonal shape allows for more organic shaped coastlines, mountains, etc. It also improves combat as it makes all the moves clearer to the player as its harder with a grid to visualise diagonal attacks. The game uses 6 directional movement. The grid affects interactions by having the landscapes hexagonal it allows a mountain to fit in one so you can strategically put your civilisations behind these or ontop forhigh ground.

#2: Panzer Corps

This game implements this type of grid as it makes everything more visually simple for the player and it also works better with the combat system because of all the tactics you could use like flanking, encirclement. This grid adds to the gameplay by making it easier to count how far away you are making calculating attacks faster and it makes it easier to establish your zones of control thr other players cant move in. This game also has 6 directional movement as it works well with the hexagonal grid which in turn works well with the combat systems and overall game idea as you get to see the whole landscape and your enemies movements and they are easier to track due to the hexagonal shapes. The grid effects interactions between players as it forces them to play more strategically and this is the same with the map the grid makes you utilise this as you have to avoid the other players.

#3: Catan Universe

The game implemented this type of grid as it is again a strategy game involving territory expansion so this works well for this case. The grid adds to the gameplay as it makes it so each hex has a yield number making players have to decide strategically on what they will do with how they place and where they place settlements. You traverse the grid by rolling dice which then decides where your turn will take place e.g. if you have a settlement in 6 and you roll 6 you can take action at one of the 6 hexagons. The grid affects interactions with the player and the map by having the players strategically place settlements near places of high yeild resources and control all of one resource or just take one of each.

Overall the games all use the grid in a similar way as they are all strategy games which is most common genre for the use of hexagonal based grids. The first two games use it for the same reason being placements of settlements or in Panzer Corps the tanks and units. While in Catan it is used for displaying materials and yields and the edges of the grid spaces are where the settlements are placed on the lines etc. So hexagonal grids are very commonly used in strategy games as they work well with the turn based combat systems and for expansion strategy games.

Grids in video games:

Square Grids:

Auto Chess:

Plants Vs Zombies:

MineSweeper:

Square grids are probably the most common form of grid in game because its the most basic form. You are given 4 options for direction, north, east, south and west. Or diagonals of North east, North west, South east and South west. Also square grids are the most familiar to an average player as they are most common

Isometric Grids:

The Banner saga 3:

Triangle Strategy:

Not to be confused with a square grid rotates 45 degrees isometric grids usually are triangles but alot of games opt to use a different version where the 2 triangles just make a square. If i were to use triangles instead though it would certainly limit possibilities of different actions that a player can do in a turn. Which is why i assume the use of triangular isometric grids is limited

Other Grids (Hex) :

Sid Meier's Civilization VI:

Panzer Corps 2:

Hex cells Infinite:

For the King:

Hex grids make movement in these games interesting as it gives each tile 6 spaces surrounding it. This sort of grid layout makes sense for RTS games as it favors movement and cramming lots of things into confined spaces. But also gives the player more options with what can be done in each turn

Panzer Corps 2 Game

The common Panzer Corps sequence is established to return with Panzer Corps 2. After 5 years of incorporating to and growing the authentic hex-based mostly approach sport, it truly is time to move on. The additional growth of Panzer Corps was in the concern of dietary supplements devoted to the distinct Entire world War II functions (they variety seventeen in all). In the course of our 3rd Panzer Corps 2 online video that we showed you in the course of our prior Home of Wargamers episode, we take a search at but an additional tough experience with the help of Alex from Flashback Game titles.

Panzer Corps two is presently in improvement making use of Unreal Engine four, to permit an extraordinary leap ahead in both technological capabilities and visible effect.

Aug. 08, 2018 - Time for a new dev diary of Panzer Corps 2! This time we will emphasis on content material.

Panzer Corps: Allied Corps is an expansion for Panzer Corps. Allied Corps contains much more than 25 new scenarios, over 50 new standard and specific elite units, and modified edition of current models to protect the complete war in element from the Western Allies standpoint. There will be over 450 specific units and unit varieties in the match at start. Specifically, each and every device and faction that appeared in Panzer Corps 1 will be in Panzer Corps 2 at start, with a few additional units thrown in for great measure.

Next, the source program hasn't any counterpart in the other wargames. It is built so that the military efficiency of troops, that are encircled, critically drops throughout a pair of moves. Which is why, a manoeuvre in Panzer Method performs a decisive role - considerably bigger than an assault. Panzer corps underwent transformation as the war went on. Initially they were the principal strike force of the Wehrmacht, and consisted of motorised infantry divisions (ID (mot)) and panzer divisions Later on in the war it was feasible to locate panzer corps that consisted solely of infantry divisions.

The Panzer Corps information for models , nations , eventualities and far more written and preserved by the gamers. Panzer Corps 2 will come with a substantial branching campaign which includes around sixty scenarios: direct the Wehrmacht in the entirety of Entire world War II, carrying more than your battle-hardened veterans from one particular struggle to the next.
