I’d argue the natural skull slot for ‘Combat Pilot excitement’ is one adjacent to ‘Task Force Admiral excitement’. Whereas Drydock Dreams are intent on creating the most realistic/ravishing WW2 Pacific carrier ops wargame ever made, Entropy.Aero, a subsidiary of Barbedwire…
Grappling with unanticipated pathfinding and optimisation challenges, the makers of Tank Squad have decided to delay a demo originally intended for release this week. One possible way to assuage disappointment is to fire up Panzer Elite Special Edition, an aged…
On Saturday accomplished Danish aerobat CSW_Tommy544 snatched victory in both finals of the demanding Virpil WarBRD Race Tournament. The standard of airmanship in the competition was staggeringly high and the racing nailbitingly close as the video embedded below the jump…
M is for Master of Chess. The fact that the demo for Master of Chess, an intriguing Football Manager-style chess sim, refuses to run on both my laptop and desktop PC, probably says more about my fondness for outdated operating…

Want to turn a green lane into a brown lane, tow a Gulaschkanone across a snowy field, or roam the Western Desert trashing Axis airfields? Get a 4×4. Want quick introductions to games of interest to realism relishers? Read a…
A is for Alphabetised wargame, sim, and site news. Once a month, assuming I can persuade Austerity’s Blackburn Cirrus Bombardier engine to perform the miracle of internal combustion, I spend a day or two scouring Simulatia and Grognardia for stories…
