Twenty-Seven Years of A-10 Warthog Computer Games (War is Boring)

Upcoming simulation game, perhaps of interest: https://airdefendergame.com/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/3985030/Air_Defender/

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.

Aircraft carrier management game Never seen anything like this before.

We Shall Fight Them on the Tabletop: What the Game of “Churchill” Teaches Us About Alliance Politics (War on the Rocks)

Cold Waters Looks excellent!

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.

Drive on Moscow: How I Conquered Russia on My iPad (War is Boring blog)

Finally gave in and picked up this title from Matrix. Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm Warning! This one is addictive. If you are familiar with and enjoyed TacOps, chances are you will enjoy this one.

However unlikely...does anyone here own this title and have the interest to take part as a player in a double-blind pbem? NATO Division Commander The monster game of modern warfare, NATO Division Commander is a SPI classic that is probably more studied than played. Described in the rules as a "battalion level simulation of conflict in contemporary Europe", NATO Division Commander gradually introduces players to its complex mechanics through a series of scenarios of increasing difficulty. When mastered, the game is a War College-level education on the conduct of World War III small unit tactics between NATO and Soviet forces. Adding to its uniqueness, NATO Divi…

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

This title was released a few weeks ago and apparently has its lineage in Crisis Korea. I have a basic scenario physically set up, map table restrictions , a solo vassal campaign of Tactical Surprise beginning and a turn or two into a vassal "learning" campaign scenario of Strategic Surprise. Pretty need operational level game. Ground centered. Air in the advanced game can be pretty detailed, Naval is there but obviously not the focus. CBG, SAG's and Amphibs. http://www.gmtgames.com/p-306-next-war-korea.aspx Snippet of around DMZ north of Seoul.

Impressive piece of work. Nuclear War Simulator website

Greetings All, Just thought I'd drop by and share the exciting news that Clash of Arms Games is now shipping Persian Incursion! Persian Incursion is a standalone game based on the Harpoon 4 rules simulating a hypothetical Israeli air campaign against the Iranian nuclear program. The game uses a card-driven system to simulate the complex political situation surrounding the campaign, with players spending Political, Intelligence, and Military Points to take actions ranging from issuing a U.N. resolution, to blocking the Straits of Hormuz, to bombing the Iranian uranium enrichment facility at Natanz. The Israelis can destroy any target in Iran sooner or later...but th…

Is this worth the $84 (£52) I would need to spend to get it?

Picket Duty, Fletcher-class DD facing kamikazes on Okinawa, very detailed boardgame and card simulation of a destroyer defending the US Fleet of aproaching kamikazes. Very probably worth of viewing:

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/

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…

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 …
