I was introduced to wargaming almost 60 years ago playing with "Bish" Iwaszko who had a business making dioramas for defence companies - here's an old article on his WW2 stuff.

We had a logarithmic scale so that you had about 10cm ...

Thanks for the reminder of this.

I fired mine up and noticed it was a late version 1.10e QF2 = quick fix.

I don't remember what this quick fix was for (and it will not affect gameplay for most people most of the time) but you may want or need to search the web as the Ageod forum with updates and ...

I'm with briklebritt - more small scenarios please.

Historical, fictional or semi fictional. Maybe even variants of the existing ones? I made some simple variants of Flashpoint Campaigns and Command Ops scenarios by altering the objectives which was easy because it didn't require any programming ...

If the Russians wanted to attack BAOR they would do it on a Wednesday or Saturday because they were sports days and you couldn't find anybody with authority to do anything - especially if there was more than half an inch of snow because the Brits can't cope with that.

I was there 1970-73 - my ...

Here's a few more pictures of the rail destroyer - including one of it being used in Italy:

They were made by Krupp.

A blunder?

Exceeded only by the declaration of war against the USA in 1942?

The wargame industry has a lot to thank Hitler for.

I was about to say it works fine for me - but now I find it doesn't - I get an access violation on start up. Maybe some recent windows update wrecked something.
NB I'm on a PC which was upgraded to windows 10 - I have found for instance there are some other games that won't work - e.g. Valor and ...

Excellent.

And thank you for all the beautiful games over the years.

Sid Meier's Gettysburg
Civilization 2 and 3
Combat Mission Beyond Overlord
Several by Ageod - Birth of America, AACW, Alea Jacta Est
Campaigns on the Danube by Frank Hunter
Advanced Tactics

So many, and I barely scratch below the surface of any of them. I am owner of many; master of none.

In some ...

The game was originally a board game by Philippe Thibaut - one of the Ageod game designers.

Calvinus real name Luca Cammisa has a website for some of his later board games although it does not appear to have been updated fora while ...

RTFM page 99

Useful having to visit that marketing office in Italy, especially in ski season

Incidentally, isn't "Calvinus" of "World War One" game based near there?

Epsom I think.

Iain McNeill Slitherine/Matrix Combined at some point ? 20 years ago.

Was a game player and designer. Spartan I think was his.

Are you near the old air base at Cottesmore? My late parents lived at Castle Bytham.

That looks like the setup - cease-fire stage at the beginning of the Anonymous Heroics scenario.

The introduction to the scenario states that it is a very old scenario and some things might not display correctly in TOAW 4.

Also I think it was specially designed for a head to head competition 20 or ...

Blimey - 12 years on and Matrix is still there, or here.

Well done. I have many games even though I don't play much.

I did have some trouble getting Napoleon's Campaigns and Birth of America to work on one Windows 11 Pro PC (curiously they work on another of almost identical make and specification ...

Hooray - it now works - thanks for the link to the Intel drivers.

Some people like Panzer Command - Ostfront

I too still like the early Combat Mission games CM Beyond Overlord;CM Barbarossa to Berlin; and CM Afrika Korps

Almost the same.

I play Darkest Hour - but only the scenarios.

They cost nothing, or virtually nothing so try them.

As an aside, I've never really got how to play Paradox continuous time games. A click fest; or stop every day, week, month, year and re-start. What do you do?

So you could get all three for one tankful, which is not a bad philosophy.
I tend to think in terms of the number of beers a price represents.
Unfortunately today I had to fill up at a place 7p more than usual - 70 litres = 1 beer lost because I hadn't planned ahead !

Try it or the two Ageod Civil War games.

I've got em but as usual have too many games and not enough time to learn to play properly.

I like maps and for me the first Ageod game AACW has the nicest map,
