Hi, saw this is on a pretty deep sale. Does anyone still play this and how well does it run on windows 10?
I own Campaigns on the Danube and am a big fan of it. Think it’s the same developer. I’m also a big fan of the Gary Grisby games.
So this looks like a lot of fun.

Also how good is the Ai? I tend to exclusively play single player. I’m not the best though and tend to self handicap sometimes to give the ai a chance (I don’t do gamey stuff). So it doesn’t need to be too competent.

Don’t know if anyone even comes here anymore aha, but hopefully someone can help.
Thanks!

I would say buy it - been a few years since I played it, but the AI gave a good game.

Frank Hunter is a much deeper thinker than msot game designers IMO - this is a chellenging game where logistics is the most important skil to master.

IMO it's a real shame he hasn't followed it up with more scenarios.

As an aside, Guns of August is a simlarly "deep" WW1 game that is another masterpiece ... although the UI and maps are pretty naf

Thanks! For the price I’ll give it a shot then

Yes! I own Guns of August, it is a very fun game. Though like you say map let’s it down a bit.

Did you check out the Alternate Map in GOA? A big improvement imo.

Anyone have a link to the alternative map on GOA? (I don't even know what GOA is)

Also, the game is certainly worth the price. It falls into the old "beer and pretzels" category and is a lot of fun. The AI is competent and like a post above notes, supply is a massive part of the game.

I love the game. Playing it right now. Easy to learn, harder to grasp. Just about the perfect level of complexity. Logistics and supply is the key in this game. Every turn is quick so you can play the whole italian campaign i just a few hours.
