I've always wanted a proper game where you play as John Carpenter's The Thing.  This looks right up my alley.  :smitten:
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.

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 heard it was a shortish game (5 hours or so).  Not necessarily a bad thing but is the value to price ratio working for you?

It's a tough call. If I wasn't such a game whore, I'd probably say $19.99 is a bit steep. Although the game is a hoot, i can see it getting a bit repetitive, so it's probably a  good thing it's not too long. One thing I've found frustrating is the level maps. They are very much like a labyrinth and there's is no map, so it's hard to find your way forward without going around in circles a lot.
