Title: Avalon Digital releases SGS Winter War, focusing on the Finland/USSR campaign

The indie developper Avalon Digital has just released a new strategy game on Steam on a pretty new topic: the 39/40 "Winter War" between the USSR and Finland

Interesting. It has a slightly Paradox orAGEod-ish look to it.

It appears to be based on the Wars Across the World engine, which was developed by folks who used to work at AGEod.

If you play the Russians, is the objective of the game to take as heavy casualties as possible, so that you're better prepared for Winter fighting when the Huns come marching in a year or two later?

I do like games that take on a novel front.

 :2funny:  That's actually great.  I can see how a hardcore simulationist would roll their eyes at that, though.
