Both teams have managed to reach the penultimate turn without losing their tank. Does the above screenshot mean one of the Crusaders won’t be participating in the final minute of action, or is it simply evidence that your GM is…
In early Eighties Britain, one of the disadvantages of expanding your video game collection via mixtapes exchanged in rambunctious school playgrounds was also one of the advantages. Because that C60 you were stuffing into the pocket of your parka had…
The Steam forums of Sea Power and Farming Simulator 2025 are as busy as midsummer beehives at the moment. Given that both titles launched yesterday, abuzz messageboards are probably a good sign even if, currently, a fair portion of the…
Imagine if the next Brothers in Arms game was set in contemporary Ukraine and forbade the use of first- and third-person views. You’ve just pictured Drone Perspective, a low-headcount military RTT with a demo, a ‘coming soon’ ETA, and a…
You can split logs and de-husk coconuts with CMx1’s low-poly AP shells. As Team France proves in the twelfth turn of the fourteen-turn CM Olympics, they are also pretty useful for killing Panzers.
I breakfasted in the Balkans this morning courtesy of Wars Across The World’s latest DLC. Bulgaria 1913 translates the brief and complicated Second Balkan War into a dirt-cheap seventeen-turn digital board game. Halfway through my first playthrough, I’m simultaneously battling the…

THC is lucky enough to have an ex-KCL Wargame Studies lecturer amongst its guest contributors. Today, Arrigo Velicogna sings the praises of a solitaire board wargame that’s chock-a-block with Churchill tanks, chary Jerries, and chancy counterattacks.
The day is barely six hours old and I’ve already experienced one “crippling defeat”. If November 5 continues in this fashion, I’ll be bankrupt by sun-up, homeless by lunchtime, and dead by nightfall.
On balance I’d say Turn 11 was more punishing for Team France’s fans than its warriors, but both spectators and soldiery were made to suffer.
I don’t know anyone better equipped to assay Unity of Command 2’s last expansion pack than THC’s man in Lithuania. As Martynas Klimas has spent around 220 hours cheek by jowl with 2×2’s hexy masterpiece, his take on this “fitting…
A skillful ringer can communicate pretty subtle things with the THC scramble bell. For instance, the combination of clangs, bongs, and ting-tings that’s currently cacophonising the Corner tells me that Scramble: Battle of Britain is Early Accessible at long last,…
