Graviteam Tactics Mius Front - Armor Shock

Mius Front is one of the most underrated gems in the history of computer-based, serious tactical wargames. Yes, the interface has all those icons that you wish were different. But we all speak the same language when it comes to wargaming, I want to believe.

A short flight in the DCS SA342 Gazelle




For those of you who asked about how is to fly the DCS SA342 Gazelle, there you go. You start nice and composed. And by the end of your flight you end up asking what just happened.

Cheers,

Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg - Tactical Phasing

I was testing a new Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg scenario when I recalled one concept from Robert Leonhard's Fighting by Minutes.

I shall name it "Stragglers Fest" because it features  just such troops taken from the scenario editor. In this early stage of the design, a light mortar (green icon group near the farmstead) has found a German patrol near the crossroad in the background.

Arma 3 - The SAMO Squad Action Menu Orders Offers an Interface to Command Suppressive Fire on the Enemy

I think that Arma 3's own menu to lay suppressive fire is somewhere (dev. branch?) but it is not showing up in my plain vanilla regular branch game.

That bright sun is where my hombres will shoot their suppressive rounds.
So, I tried the SAMO (Squad Action Menu Orders) mod and it works like a charm. Please note that this entry displays screenshots from an already modded game.

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.

A full French division, with two brigades and artillery with each infantry unit in column formation. The troops simulated in this screenshot are around 5,000 men ...

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.
