In Development

Nuclear War Simulator website

Thanks.

I haven't tried it but the trailer looks like at least 50% of what I want in a wargame, and a good bit beyond what I desire in eye candy.

Looks worth some investigation to me, one developer with some devoted fans.

Looks excellent!

Never seen anything like this before.

I've been messing with a few games from Simulations Canada lately, including Grey Seas, Grey Skies, which I mentioned at http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?/topic/25555-playing-hce-as-a-blind-gamer/page-3

On a lark, I decided to set up a scenario inspired by a sequence in Red Storm Rising, in which USS Chicago is ordered to attack a battlegroup which includes the battlecruiser Kirov, among others. In retrospect I didn't include all the ship classes given in the description of that sequence, and perhaps should have.

I added an Alpha class submarine to the mix as well to make things interesting, and just commanded the Chicago versus what seems to my uneducated eye an overwhelming force.

I was struck by how well I actually did. I managed to sink four ships, including the Soviet submarine, while more or less consistently dodging helicopter dropped torpedoes and RBU rockets. I was left with the battle cruiser alone, which was still quite dangerous on account of the helicopters. I was eventually struck by a torpedo, thus ending the scenario.

My credulity was actually strained quite a bit, and that's why I'm writing to ask just how unrealistic the simulation actually was. I must have evaded something on the order of 10 torpedo drops.

The ships arrayed agains me were:

1. Kirov class bc

2. Slava class Cruiser.

3. Kresta II class cruiser.

4. Sovremennyy- class destroyer.

5. Alpha-class submarine.

Any comments appreciated. GS, GS assumes an area of around 8,000 square nautical miles, give or take.

So I have been getting into old computers lately as a hobby, and one of the things which is interesting to me is that many early games were playable for me under, say, MS DOS, whereas newer games often aren't.

The one I'm thinking of this evening is called Red Sky at Morning, by Simulations Canada. It reminds me quite a bit of Harpoon in naval focus, if not scope—it's much more grand strategy than tactics. 99% of the game is perfectly accessible, though complex. I'm still unsure what some of the options are for, or how they interact.

Has anybody played this game? I seem to remember reading something about Simcan still existing somewhere, I'd love to get in touch and see what other games might be playable for me.

If anybody has played RSM, I'd appreciate tips. I find keeping track of the various theaters of operation kind of overwhelming, not to mention planning anything in detail.

We would like to ask for your comments and opinion regarding a new strategy and war game project, called War Cabinet.

The game will put you in the army commander's role during a War that takes place in the late 80s – 90s of XX century.

The game story:

31^st of May, 1994
You are watching the news and the same topics are being discussed again and again: There is an escalating tension in Marutia! Mass riots erupted in the big cities and the government seems to be losing control of the situation.

Armed insurgent groups are freely roaming the country.

To make things even worse in this delicate situation both Ortia and Girdia claim to be the rightful protector of the people of Marutia and are offering military support.
Large weapons shipments started flowing to Girdia and Ortia.

It looks like a war is coming! It could begin at any moment…

You feel that terrifying feeling – an urge to conquer your mind, but you must stay calm more than ever.

This tremendous pressure could not be described!... Read more at: http://www.warcabinet.net/story/

War Cabinet will be played in two different modes: Single and Multiplayer Campaign or different battles scenarios. It will use pause-able real time planning system to offer full strategic and tactical flexibility.

You can take a look at War Cabinet first video:
