Tigers on the Hunt Review

When a budding artist sings in the style of greatests,  he needs to add something of himself to the songs. Otherwise, it is just professional karaoke.



Scourge of War Waterloo - Don't Miss the Grog Toolbar!

Back when it was released, Scourge of War Waterloo got some pushback from hardcore fans of the Napoleonics era. It was argued that not all formations relevant to the period's field of battle were featured in Scourge of War.

Graviteam Tactics Mius Front - Battle Editor

Withe the right amount of direction yet no so predictable as in other games, the AI in Mius Front takes care of itself and kicks arse even when you know where from where the enemy is coming.

Like Forrest Gump's box of chocolate, you never know what you gonna get .... Two German halftracks try to outflank my positions.

Graviteam Tactics Mius Front - Video

Not my best in the quality front (some persistent issues with the video capture software), but what the heck it was an awesome battle that needs to be seen.

Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg Demo

Never played a Combat Mission game? Here is your chance to take your forces for a test drive into virtual combat.

From the edge of a forest, a US Sherman tank duels with two German AT guns. It was not pretty to watch my precious tank hit a couple of times with AT rounds, but my boys emerged victorious from this.

Graviteam Mius Front - Seizing a Hill with Combined Arms

What a battle! The only thing missing was air support. But nonetheless I commanded a Russian reinforced Rifle Company plus 3 tanks and artillery in an assault against a German-held hill.



CMANO - New Big Patch Coming - AIP Submarines Revamped

Command Modern Naval and Air Operations is about to be updated to version 1.11. It's a big update and release candidates are available in this forum thread.


One of the big things (at least for me :) ) is the revamp of the air independent propulsion (AIP) for submarines. In this picture, U31 (a German Type 212 equipped with AIP) during sea trials (ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems).
