Impressive piece of work. Nuclear War Simulator website

Has anyone played this game? I'm thinking of laying out the money to buy it for COVID enforced isolation. Just curious as to thoughts on the game and whether anyone who has tried it would recommend the game. Thanks.

For a little less serious gaming, https://www.conflictnations.com 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.

There was a spamming/posting to our Facebook page today for an in-development new game. Looks worth some investigation to me, one developer with some devoted fans. http://project-neptune.com/

Aircraft carrier management game Never seen anything like this before.

Does anyone here play this or have ever done so?

I got Sixth Fleet second hand lately and wondered if anyone else here played it. It's not too hard to get to grips with, that's for sure.

Can anyone recommend a modern naval board game that can be played in under 2 hours?

Hi All, 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 m…

The Best Board Game Ever Is a Chilling Re-imagining of the Cold War (War is Boring)

Hi All, 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 …

Dear friends, 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: 31st 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 ri…
