I think several Grogs have really appreciated the deceptively lo-fi approach to the
Cauldrons of War series, myself included (even though I haven't played the first entry yet!)
Here, one of our favorite Youtubers, "Wolfpack345", trades his naval and air play-eps for a look at CoW:Stalingrad (still in early access)!
Relatedly, although neither game is AT ALL expensive (at only $10ish), you can get them at 15% off on Steam right now as a bundle, which also translates to a loyalty discount if you've already got the first one.
