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.

Post some pics and anecdotes. Make it a spectator sport.

This one wrapped up in a draw between myself and TMIT.  My Barbarossa-esque advance on his home turf went tits up rather quickly, and his advanced stopped when I remembered I had access to an Astral anti-undead spell.  We ended up locked in a stalemate, with Tien Chi and Man on the sidelines.  TC was the kingmaker at this point, but the Discord user who joined us staled a few turns and their progress petered off.  This world will now be governed by a Pantokrator-By-Committee between the great birds of Caelum and the great forest people of Pangaea.  With the humans of Man and Tien Chi providing an advisory/ceremonial role.   O:-)
