"you are the rule maker, the dictator, the mini- Stalin, Mao, Hitler, the emperor, generalissimo, the MAN. You may talk the talk and appear to be quite easy going to foster popularity, but to the MAN I say F*CK YOU." And Steve G is F******g rude ? Just another day on the BF forum ... one demented idiots reaction to BF disagreeing about the thickness of the armour on a Tiger II turret mantlet.

Not sure there's actually a game in there.  The manual is barely three pages long.

I've seen this game engine before. Years ago there was a modern unit sim that went under the name 'Talava', 'Tavala', or something like that. Then later it appeared again with WW2 units. It looked more like a training sim than a game.

I wish I could find a link to that first one but I cannot.  :(


It does look like the engine has been around. Requirements: Win 7, Pentium4, and at least 4 Gig of RAM:

Reminds me a little of a less point-to-point version of Panzer Doctrine (which is rather an interesting little game).

It is now released on Steam & I very nearly purchased as it seems of the type that interests me. But..........I already have soooooo many games that I don't play (like all of you, I guess) so will wait for positive reviews, preferably from this Grogheads site rather than on Steam.

I was interested enough to hit the buy button. But my Norton 360 does not like it, and deletes it as a security risk every time I try to run it. I have seen this before, and may be due to just not enough folks having purchased it yet (and therefore norton not having enough experience with it). Hopefully the problem fixes itself in a week or so.

A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

I'm holding off after too many other recent purchases (with others coming soon), but I'm definitely still interested.
