Title: Military History Online WWII Wargame
Post by: spelk on February 21, 2013, 04:10:06 AM
Don't know whether any folks here have seen this before, I stumbled upon it, whilst searching out more information on The Battle of Stalingrad. It's a WWII strategic game played online. At the moment it's current still in development, but it looks interesting from the screenshots. They seem fairly open to requests for playtesters.

Here's an AAR of the game

Looks great. Nice find spelk. Thanks for the post. It's got my naturally compulsive nature started-up.

Looks a bit like Schwerpunkt's games, doesn't it?

Not enough numbers on the top row to be Schwerpunkt ;)

It looks great, but I find brigade/division scale daunting for strategic scale WWII. Having to move hundreds of counters a turn really turns me off, despite how nice it looks like it might be. You are basically making huge stacks anyway, why not use corps? I think Gary Grigsby hit the right scale with Second Front and War in Russia.

I tried playing it awhile a go with a friend that somehow got 'alpha' style access.  it is a good game but if OCS overwhelms you then this will drive you CRAZY because theres so much to manage all the time and you just cant really keep an eye on everything before you lose track of really important stuff and suddently your getting kicked in the ass by something you should of seen coming 5 turns ago
