I’ve already written about why I like Battle of the Bulge so much. And if you haven’t caught Bruce’s review over at Quarter to Three you should do that. This week on the show we talk about Shenandoah’s masterpiece again, with regular Julian Murdoch. There’s a lot of talk about the relative merits of the […]

We’ll have a full chat about the game on the podcast later, I’m sure, but right now I want to state that Unity of Command is the intro wargame that Panzer Corps should have been. In many ways, Unity is the anti-War in the East. Both deal with the Eastern Front in WW2, but Unity […]

Nothing like a provocative title to get the readers, I always say. As I play through the year’s good and great games and try to figure out which ones deserve which awards, I keep coming back to RUSE, a game that could be the biggest surprise of 2010 or the biggest underperformer of 2010 or […]
