East India Company Review by IGN! Rating: 7.7/10
"I like East India Company for a couple of reasons. The trading model is straightforward and the presentation makes it easy to manage all the details of the empire. Then again, managing all the details is pretty easy when there aren't that many to begin with. There's no sense of interaction with the world outside of your balance sheet, which is a disservice to the subject matter..."

Storm Eagle Studios is proud to announce the first Expansion Pack for
it's award winning WWI Naval Game JUTLAND!

Jim Rose, CEO of Storm Eagle Studios, said " The 1916-17 US North Sea Fleet
provides an excellent starting point for the first Expansion of JUTLAND.
Historical gamers have long wondered if an early US entry into WWI would
have ended WWI by the end of 1916. Now they have the chance to find out!
In addition, What if the US joined the war on the side of the GERMANS?
We have included 2 additional BONUS Campaigns to answer that very question!"
