Antrim after Angola
It’s hard to believe, but the next COIN title from Every Single Soldier should be Early Accessible by the end of the year. Fingers crossed, Northern Ireland ’74 will be less intimidating than Angola ’86. As I mentioned in this…

R.I.P. Ilan Papini
I’ve just learned that Ilan Papini, the chap behind thoroughly likeable sims such as Virtual Sailor and Vehicle Simulator, died in February from injuries sustained in a plane crash. The ICP Savannah piloted by the 60-year-old developer, suffered a bird…
An irresistible simpulse
Me and Roman spent a small portion of last weekend in a thorny corner of Wessex, chucking plastic platters at chain-draped metal baskets. We’d decided to give disc golf a try after enjoying the demo for FLEX Disc Golf. Has…

Combat Mission devs eaten by giant lizard
Battlefront, the studio that gave the world plausible 3D WeGo WW2 combat, is no more. After licking its lips with a darting bifurcated tongue, and letting out a thunderous belch, the massive Surrey reptile that consumed BFC yesterday, said this:…
Gaping Gettysburg gap
Although Steam’s gaping Gettysburg gap narrowed considerably on Saturday, until my favourite Battle of Gettysburg title joins the rather dear Scourge of War: Gettysburg in this line-up, Steam’s selection of wargames dedicated to the pivotal Pennsylvanian scrap, will remain glaringly…
