The Close Combat-esque Firefight has matured splendidly during the past twelve months. Dipping into its cache of seventy-two South-East Asian/Pacific Theatre engagements this week, I’ve been struck by the way sage improvements such as new order types and infantry formation…
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:…
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…

A comment posted below this recent piece opened my eyes to the wonderful world of Armoured Commander 2 modding. Not that you’d know it from perusing AC2’s Steam page or forum (the modders share their wares via Discord) but Sudasana’s…
