I have played CM2 a bit. Gunner, HEAT, PC! is something different, but you might want to check it out.

What really turned me off to SPWAW was when the defender was allowed to have potentially limitless fire far exceeding anything physically possible. I remember this one time when I got an infantry platoon to Northern map edge. Enemy reinforcements arrived from that edge, and a dozen or whatev tanks ...

Any game, like any miniature game?

Past couple of weeks I've been playing lots of different games. At least a little of each. I watched a video about Ultima Underworld which made me realize the game is more awesome than I remember: doors can be broken in! I gave a run for modded SPWAW (courtesy of Major_Mess), and I'm rusty. Beyond r...

Darklands is a low fantasy RPG from 1992. Claims to depict 15th century "Greater Germany" (from Denmark to Austria) as people of the time believed it with superstitions and myths. I don't know if the game is on target, but I've been having a good time with it. Much of the game is text and...

I think it was Major Mess who made a fan patch for SPWAW. Does it have anything to improve compatibility with Win 10/11?

Been years since I last played the game. I got WinXP desktop on the floor if I ever care to play it again. Some cool scenarios which likely aren't all remade for WinSPWW2.

How so? Remote controlled drones has been a thing in war games for decades by now. Just today I played one.

Soft covers are the cool ones

Let me guess: it's about an American escort carrier group and their destroyer escort stopping a Japanese battleship fleet led by BB Yamato.

Black Friday sale is on in Steam & GOG. Matrix/Slitherine games are included. Steam seems to be a bit busy and unresponsive right now...

Black Friday sale is on! Also in GOG (Good Old Games).

I got Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War a good while ago, but I installed it just past weekend. 4X game, essentially Pandora: First Contact with WH40K skin and combat scaled down to tactical level similar to Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon. I have enjoyed the game 16 hours so far and lost hours...

I feel an urge to interject. Another legendary board war game, BattleTech, has got a few faithful video game adaptations. So far the best one is MegaMek. Another is Titans of Steel: Warring Suns, which was available here on the Matrix site for a time but doesn't seem to be anymore. Both games are (s...

Who is this?

If you want an "earlier" Shadow Empire experience, set in ww2, then Advanced Tactics Gold is always an option. Despite it looking super simple, there is a surprising depth to it. To elaborate on that, ATG has some WW2 scenarios. It also has a random game generator that makes random maps a...
