A thread were we can post wargames/simulated-wargames in general.

So as to not to be confusing and/or rise a debate between definitions (wargame/simulation/game), I have added the video below, a bit long but worth the food for thought...

I own ATF: Armored Task Force which I really like, and if you buy Battle Group Commander: Episode One and install it on top of ATF, you can use the BGC: E1 engine (newer) to run ATF. Although these are older games vs whats up today, they are still very good and difficult to master. IMHO they actually beat alot of wargames today still. They were used for actual US mil trainning in the past. ATF actually comes with a user manual and a official US FM manual
Brefings and map markings are quite RL too.

Here´s BCT Commander (also on sale) in action...



ATF is basically a modernized version of BCT Commander. Don´t let the old graphical look fool you, it´s actually a hardcore wargame, it just dosen´t have a modern UI and graphics and can be a bit clunky on controls at times. Another good thing is that it will run on a potato! Patrick Proctor ATF developer is a actual Mayor in the US army.

You can download demos for all there games from the Shrapnel home site, but don´t expect to jump in on one of there games and come out winning from the start! Will need to do some reading and follow the online tutorials.

That's one I have been following. I hope it's good and have reason to believe it will be. High hopes!

We have a thread on it don't we? Or maybe that was on Battlefront's board? I'm on so many forums I can't keep it all straight.

Ah, here it is. Red was part of that.

This might be interesting...

August 21 . . . but (unfortunately) in Early Access through the end of the year. The developer says there are still bugs and balance issues in the campaign game.

Though I have seen no plans mentioned, it would be nice of some graphical improves could be thrown in there (i.e. some Zouave uniforms for the Union, some variable uniforms for the Confederates, as well as correct Confederate flags, vs all using the ANV flag).

Armoured Commander II, would be the PC version of "Patton´s Best" published by the legendary Avalon Hill in 1987 were you take command of a Sherman tank. Except that the developer wants to take the original boardgame some steps further in his PC version which also is consider a "rogue like" to some.

Armoured Commander II has recently been updated to version 7.0.0.

There is a free version for windows available although it´s not the same version as the Steam updated version.

Darn Red the last War game I played using cards was Avalon Hills UP Front..I liked it

Never got to play UP Front. I was about to put together a print and play version that´s on the web but never got to it.

I have this on my shelf waiting to get punched and played someday

You might like it (Its solo)...

Looks interesting Red,, UF was playable solitaire ..It was about the time I started loosing war gaming M8's in that dark era before I got a commodore 64 primitive but it got me started

Möbius Front '83 is more of a puzzle/strategy game then a pure wargame, after all it is a game by Zachtronics. But that dosen´t mean you wont get the feel of a wargame with a challange while playing it.

Operational level War Plan Pacific is a hybrid between Strategic Command and War In The East/War in the Pacific.

In other words, it´s not as simple as the SC series of games, and not as hardcore as Gary Grigsby´s War in the Pacific Admiral Edition, or any of Gary´s games. So if you´re looking for enough chrome to fill the gap between a beer and pretzel game and a blown out micro-management wargame ala WitP, this might be the one for you.

Great video showing what J.D. Webster´s Fighting Wings series are all about. I have 4 of his modules Including Wings of the Motherland. A great simulation on cardboard!



You can even play his games by e-mail. It uses a similar system used back In the days while playing chess via mail.

That´s the spirit!

Marco has (had) a Impressive collection of board games and the man Is a legend In the community, this just makes him even more awesome!



For those who are think that boardgames are a thing of the past, think twice! If you dig deep enough you will find out that on the contrary, boargames are more In a trend then the peak years! Theirs a comeback to most of the old trends and this Is no different. Proof Is that companies keep putting out new games every month/week!

Not a wargame but a sports game

Two days ago I received at my door my Christmas present from my girlfriend, which Is Close Action The Age of Fighting Sail. I had been looking for a good boxed version for a long time now, and this one I got along with both the expansions Rebel Seas and Monsoon Seas all In mint condition. CA had a reprint a couple of years ago but In a ziplock bag version, I really don´t know If It will ever receive another reprint and In what format so the used market Is your only chance to get a copy. Close Action Is published by Clash of Arms (CoA) and designed by Mark Campbell.

I also have the Flying Colors Deluxe edition which Is still available, and they just released a third module to the series called Under a Southern Cross. Flying Colors deals more with fleet actions although the author has Included some ship to ship rules and scenarios In the third module.

Slight marking on the bottom of the box but that´s about It.



Their Is a Vassal module available:

I red on BGG that the author of the module Is working on a v2.0.

and a nice peak at what a age of sail battle was all about...


I am reading a book on the topic as this era really captures my attention and Imagination, I have some more books inbound on Wednesday, and will be making a video on the CA content sometime this week for my wargaming channel, hope to get that going again this year
