DCS M-2000C
This module for DCS World was released on 25th December 2015. Following the apparently established tradition of releasing DCS aircraft in beta status (sigh), the M-2000C is in a moderately good shape and it's a joy to fly. Fighting ... Well that's a different story.

Not All Cavalry Are Borne The Same - The Seven Years War, Battle of Kolin
One of the things that is great in this war game is that the tactical battles start with a lot of room to maneuver. A lot of real estate before deployment, and you can use your cavalry units to force the enemy to deploy in a wide front or into a kill sack.
The Seven Years War is a one man show that consolidates elements from Europa Universalis, Scourge of War and the Total War series. Here is a vignette about the use of dragoons in the Battle of Kolin, which I fought as the Prussians.
