General

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…

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…

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.

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…

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.

I just completed a TacOps game with Coyote over at Armchair General - expect an AAR over the next couple of weeks.

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

Impressive piece of work. Nuclear War Simulator website

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

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.

Cold Waters Looks excellent!

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 …

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.

Aircraft carrier management game Never seen anything like this before.

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.

Does anyone here play this or have ever done so?
