Computer Gaming / Re: Theatre of War Returns!
Last post by Redwolf - Today at 11:14:31 AMI never played it in the past. But since Combat Mission doesn't seem to be in the mood to release anything meaningful I think I'm gonna go for this one.

Computer Gaming / Re: Theatre of War Returns!
Last post by Pete Dero - Today at 02:48:34 AMhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2097940/Theatre_of_War_Rearmed/
Demo is now available.
Release date : December 9.
Hello, commanders!
We are proud to announce that Theatre of War: Rearmed is part of Steam Next Fest!
It means that until the 26th of October, you can play the free demo of the game, with no sign-up for a playtest needed!
Take this beauty for a ride and play through 11 single-player missions, as well as 3 multiplayer maps available now!
And if you are a veteran of our previous playtests, there is something for you too, as this version builds on what was done earlier with new exciting additions and changes to how the game works.
The full list of changes includes:
The mechanics for calculating effective armor thickness, ricochets, and damage have been reworked. Armor-piercing, sub-caliber, and other types of shells are now simulated according to real historical firing test records.
Unit pathfinding has been improved. Wheeled vehicles can now perform multi-point turns.
The characteristics and equipment of many infantry squads have been reworked.
Infantry weapon pickup mechanics have been improved. Items can now be dropped and picked up with a double-click.
Tutorial missions have been revised, and the tutorial texts have been completely rewritten.
Hotkey hints have been added to many parts of the interface.
A function to send a bug reports directly to the developer from within the game has been added.
Numerous bugs identified during playtests and internal testing have been fixed.

Enigmas of the Mystical / Re: If WW2 was a Discord chat.
Last post by JasonPratt - October 19, 2026, 10:44:23 AMAh, the more epic Pacific-focused remake from 8 days ago!
I had to stop watching the first one because I have actual chores and important responsible things to do this morning and it's already near 11am. So I have inflicted what I found here!

Enigmas of the Mystical / If WW2 was a Discord chat.
Last post by JasonPratt - October 19, 2026, 10:38:50 AMI would have put this in historical, but it's wacky comedy and {checks subtopic description} "downright wacky" is in the description, so...!
Admittedly this is four weeks old, so someone else may have posted it recently. But I hope not.

Wargame Design Studio / Re: WDS Discounts + Game of th...
Last post by Llaird - October 19, 2026, 05:33:06 AMThis week's Game of the Week is Civil War Battles: Campaign Peninsula, 25% off October 19–25.
McClellan's Army of the Potomac is closing on Richmond, but a swollen Chickahominy, stretched supply lines, and Lee's counteroffensive stand in its way.
Command the fighting from Seven Pines through the Seven Days, including Gaines's Mill and Malvern Hill. The road to Richmond is yours to contest. Can you take the Confederate capital—or save it?
The game has just been updated to version 4.05.6, with many refinements to artillery fire and more.

Computer Gaming / Re: Campaign Series Vietnam
Last post by Jason Petho - October 18, 2026, 03:20:52 PMWell firetruck. Talk about a mess and a half. There are Viet Cong everywhere and they are dug in exceptionally well. We are making some progress and succeeded in securing two primary objectives, but it has taken nearly half the scenario to do it and the losses. Well, it is best not to talk about the losses. It is an interesting challenge to figure out how to reduce these various Viet Cong positions with the limited forces I have. I'm grateful for the heavy artillery and gunships though, they make a world of difference!

Computer Gaming / Re: The Guadalcanal FRIDAY
Last post by Destraex - October 17, 2026, 06:24:17 PMStar Citizen Event still. Doing some gathering missions. I don't usually do any mining, but the event is an exception. So I purchased a Prospector and a Helix head. I am in search of a mineral called Beryl. Refine it somewhere, then deliver it in a cargo ship to the destination location.
EDIT: Just finished the event. The good thing about doing these events is that the rewards you get are generally permanently added to your account, rather than just being added as one shot inventory rewards you can lose. Although I guess after 1.0 when the game finally drops, all bets would be off and you could lose them permanently. We will see.

If you've ever dated a pathological liar, you'll be watching this like a Vietnam vet having flashbacks during Full Metal jacket.
