Almost One Year After Release, "War Room" Can't Tap into its Full Potential
War Room is a game about the War in Afghanistan. As a commander of the US Army, you are in charge of patrolling, and securing a thousand square kilometers fictional territory inspired by the real life counterpart. You establish and supply bases, order missions of different types, and work on the safety of the civilian population.
The concept is great, the ambiance is tremendously well done and the difficulties of waging a war against non-conventional forces are delivered onto the player in a very modern format.

Combat Mission Cold War - US Infantry Fireteam Destroys Two Soviet Tanks in One Minute
The "acquire" command in Combat Mission allows infantry to pick up ammo or extra weapons stored in vehicles and bunkers. These weapons can make a huge difference in the heat of battle.
I am testing my user-made scenario and it turned out to play so nice that I'm gonna be in trouble completing it with all the trimmings (briefing, scoring, etc). This story is from one of those tests.

Panzer Campaigns Kiev '43 - What Killed The Bukring Bridgehead - Spoiler Alert
Kiev `43 is one of those Panzer Campaigns war games that shows you how the tide of war changed in the Eastern Front. Kiev `43 is just a snapshot of the massive push of the Red Army in the southwest direction, a few months after the fight in the Kursk salient. During this period, the Red Army's concept of operations have significantly matured, in particular for the conduct of the breakthrough. The concentration of artillery, the reduction of frontages for every unit, the use of tanks as support units for Rifle Divisions ... All of that is there in Kiev `43.
