One unit of 3 German TDs versus unknown number of Soviet infantry and tanks.  The Germans lose their only key point on the map.  I lose 2 of 3 TDs (brew up).  My last TD is crippled while the Soviets continue to take pot shots at it.

Finally, I withdraw.

The game gives me a victory.  How is that possible?  What did I achieve?  I killed 1 T-34; is that worth so much?

Thanks.

top column.. German forces 36 USSR 166.  You gave as good as you got while being out numbered.  I really think instead of victory/defeat that maybe effectiveness would be a better way of putting it. 

There has been a lot of discussion on this subject. Take a look here (http://graviteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=11897.0) for example. It's a different game (SABOW), but the engine is pretty much the same.

Engine is exactly the same.  =) Although with a few differences.  Shows how versatile it is.  Hell, with higher poly models of building and plants you could probably pull off an FPS.  Although you would have to probably have a lower view distance that way.   

So, in terms of GTOS:

"Less is more"

and

"More is less"

A game engine with a very "minimalist" philosophy!  I am pleased to know that one of my new favorite games actually has a "soul"!  :)

Combining GTOS (and SABOW ) with a FPS would be great. Add a good flight sim, like DCS World, on top of that and it would make a perfect game.  ;D
