RUNNING WITH RIFLES is an open world, top-down, tactical shooter for single player and multiplayer online, that puts you right in the middle of chaos in towns, trenches and forests turned into ruthless battlefields, controlling just one soldier in an army of several hundreds.
In a war where men die like flies and endless streams of reinforcements run to fill the void, it takes tactics and marksmanship to capture territories effectively. The open world nature of the game enables you to use a multitude of approaches to help the front line move – it's up to you to shape your role. Experience the complete arc starting as a private hardening into a high ranking officer with a squad under command, arming yourself with a variety of weapons and vehicles on your way to glory!

I'm suprised how much fun this game is! The learning curve is really low, so you can just jump into the action but mastering it perfectly takes some more time, which keeps it interesting for a longer period of time. It's also a great game for LAN, because of it's size (download, install and play takes no more than 3 minutes) and accessibility.
This would be an instant winner if future versions would have different gamemodes and maybe a single player campaign.
It is interesting... I though this game will be a simple arcade like Cannon Fodder or Army Men like (or inspired from them)
But now it goes more and more complicated, new features...
So what is about game setting, these cartoony visuals and green army vs grey army??
Mostly the new features are optional for people who seek something more in-depth, you are still allowed and at times encouraged to just simply run & gun; the basic mechanism hasn't changed.
We're not wanting to make this another Axis & Allied war game so currently we are at Green vs Grey. It allows us to keep the setting open until we know what we want and can do with the background story for the final release.
There are already mods that take the other route by adding USMC, Russian OMON, Chinese PLA, British factions with skins and names, check it out here Modulaatio.com
Visuals are cartoony for the reason that it allows more creative use with colors than "real life", and, you know, cartoony is light-hearted and fun. This isn't the serious war game.

Your game being discussed here.
You might want to provide a little more information than that if you want them to check it out.
RWR has been suggested as a future featured game on IndieGameStand. If anyone would like to chip in (devs particularly!), check out the link! Indiegamestand.com
hi guys, we already discussed that internally and we came to the conclusion that "pay what you want" offers isn't really what we are looking for, at least not in the beta phase and neither in the couple of months right after the final steam release. It would bring some new players to fill the multiplayer servers, sure but this might be achieved with other solutions which seems more suitable like getting some footage done by bigger youtube personalities where we got some positive feedback but unfortunately nothing happened (yet?).
Perfectly understandable, I'll let the community know for now (should keep people from bugging you :P). For the record, I bought this a while ago, and I think it's fantastic. Can't wait to see it take off!
I really love how much progress this game made already!, Keep up the good work Jack!
a missing file slipped through in 0.86, sry for that.
As a quickfix, you just need to add a mesh file as seen on the forum:

It is fantastic Henley and it is getting bigger and better each release. I jumped in early and it is totally worth the 7 bucks! Easily one of the better games I have seen in a while. Like Cannon Fodder meets Army Men (the plastic guys not the game) meets Battlefield. Lots of modding potential as well. It competes for my M&B Warbands and Jagged Alliance 2 time. Brilliant little game.
