Modelling and Miniatures / Alamo Playset - having it
Last post by em2nought - October 21, 2026, 10:49:16 PM
Not exactly sure why, but I just bought an Alamo Playset off ebay along with several bags of CTS figures.  Maybe it because I've moved to Texas, or maybe it's the big Alamo painting hanging on my wall.  :idiot2:

Double wow!  Norm is free! So is this new game related to the other Steam & Iron from NWS?  I sense more possible conflict, you're finally free of Jim Rose & then another problem rears it's head?

Finally something to comment on after many years. LOL

Just my opinion. If the launch of Rearmed is to be successful, it needs to be modernized and improved. Rearmed launches with a batch file which runs Java. I have to manually add java to advanced windows display options to make it use the GPU rather than integrated graphics. I'm more than willing do do stuff like this to get old game running. It's nice to have the complete Theatre of War running from one install. Expecting novice gamers and PC users to tweak the game to get it running though...YMMV.

I 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.

Saw this. Am tempted to try it. Enjoyed it way back in the day. Especially for ww2 early war gameplay that was so rare back then.

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.

Ah, 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!

I 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.  :peace:

This 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.
