Mid 50s (just look at my nickname :D ).

My first argame was AH "Midway". I watched the 1970s movie with my mother, and the scenes when the Admirals moved symbols on a map while planning really grabbed me. Then, shortly thereafter, my family made a trip to Milan. We visited the "Rinascente ...

"Soldiers of Destruction", by Charles W. Sydnor Jr.

This is the story of the 3rd SS Division 'Totenkopf', although the author is clearly fascinated by its founder, Theodor Eicke. The division was made up of concentration camp guards, and the first part of the book is about how they were created and ...

Don't forget The Hollow Legions: Mussolini's Blunder in Greece, 1940–1941 by Mario Cervi. It's one of the best history books I've ever read, regardless of the topic.

Is anyone surprised? It is a serious question.

Escape from New York Main Titles, by John Carpenter and Alan Howarth.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5oIUsPkigQ

Possibly because I'm re-reading Alan Moore's Watchmen

This is my first scenario, based on the (fictional) actions of the NL 41 Pabrig in July, 1985. My main reference was this wonderful site: www.orbat85.nl. For the strategic situation I was also helped by WDS' "Danube Front '85", especially the "Bolt Out of the Blue 10.0" scenario (even if WDS' game ...

What has been the reaction to the Swiss game in Italy from the media and fans?

Best wishes,
Steve


Basically the same: "YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED! ONE OF THE WORST DEFEATS EVER! EVERYONE MUST GO HOME!!"

(Except our goalkeeper, Donnarumma, who blocked penalties, clear scoring opportunities for the ...

There is conspiracy theories about Georgia.

Erm, who seriously believes such rubbish?



He has been consistently trying to inject politics into the discussion about football.


To clarify, whit "politics" I meant internal frictions in the Italian soccer scene. The current ...

I disagree with the emphasis on working on the game as is. Improving convoys will not get us sales, and sales are the only way we keep our game.


Sales of a game full of problems?

Also, we don't want "improved convoys". We want for convoys to work as intended.


To get recruits we need AI ...

Everyone around me is surprised by how bad Italy was. I'am not. Italy did play in this tournament for about 20 minutes, when we scored twice against Albania. Then we stopped playing. Literally stopped playing.

I can't remember a single moment when Italy did... dunno... something . Against Spain we ...

Spain looked good and dominated for most of the game but had only an Italian own goal to show for it.


Spain looked unimaginative, boring, and where lucky to win. A 0-0 draw might have been the fair result based on what I saw of the match. Although, I might be wrong as the game was so boring ...

Empires in Arms is still active. Code development continues. I hope someday EIA will be a contender for best grand strategy Napoleonic wargame. We're getting there.

A bit like MWiF, I understand...

What it says in the tin. My Little Pony mod for Hearts of Iron IV should count as one. Here's a game play video by Arch Warhammer.

There is a fan-fic out there with MLP in the Fallout setting. It is titled "Fallout: Equestria". I never read it, but ...

I watched Season 4 of True Detective. A waste of time and talent.

Jodie Foster is as great as always. Same for the young actor who plays her deputy. The rest of the cast... I don't know. ALL the characters are super-angry towards the World because "reasons". Of course ALL the male characters are 1 ...

Activision Blizzard Inc., Epic Games Inc., Roblox Corp. and around a dozen other video game developers were hit with a wide-ranging lawsuit alleging a 9-year-old became addicted to the companies’ games such as Fortnite, Call of Duty, and Grand Theft Auto .

So, not because a 9-year-old boy was ...

Recently something happened in the world of AI and gaming that it is not discussed enough.

Rio Grande Games put out a digital version of their card game game "Dominion" - a medieval themed game which only needs the base box to be played but that was so succesful to generate 15 expansions. The AI is ...

I'm playing "Fire in the Lake" solo for the second time. I don't use bots, even if I have bougth the "Tru'ng" update. My first play solo had me trying to do the best with each faction (South Vietnam, USA, VietCong and North Vietnam) without having a clue about what I was doing. It was confirmed on ...

I agree that Dominions is only improving with time. I got Dominions 6 and it seems to be the best so far. Having said that, I lost my MP group so I can't "stress test" it like I did with Dom3 back in the day. My honest impression is that if you want to try one, then go for Dom6.

[I agree that ...

I saw a video about Dominions 6 and I'm intrigued. Anyone here played it yet? Or older Dominions games? What do you have to say about them? Here's the video
