As THC guest writer Martynas “JcDent” Klimas hails from Lithuania, a country I’ve never visited and know little about, I asked him if he’d be willing to combine some covert history teaching with some overt wargame coverage. He courageously accepted…
Gaming websites like Europagamer, PGC, and Clock Draper Spudgun, change their headers once in a blue moon. Here at THC we believe an unvarying masthead is a moribund masthead. For the past two and a half years, the png plaque…
The Frenchman behind Kriegsspiel – 7 Years War, a work-in-progress wargame in which fresh intel is almost as important as feisty infantry, talks formative years and future plans in THC’s latest Q&A.
As the sellotape used to attach this demo disc to the THC front cover is specially designed to be impervious to scraping fingernails and to deface the glossy cover art when removed, we recommend you enjoy what you can see…
Stretcher Men’s lovely wind-ruffled menu screen has to be worth a 9. Maddening fixed cameras and a bizarre approach to pathfinding mean I’d struggle to award the game itself more than a 2.
If you think yesterday’s most remarkable sporting feat occurred in France and involved Jessica Fox, Léon Marchand, or Adriana Ruano, you clearly haven’t heard about what Froggster achieved in a leafy corner of Wiltshire. Less than twenty four hours ago,…

You have to admire the brutal honesty on show in the 25-minute post-mortem video embedded below the break. According to studio head, Griffin Johnson, Armchair History Interactive embarked on their first wargame without a clear plan and proceeded to make…
What a pity there wasn’t a Battle Academy fan amongst the sixteen Bellecour École students who made Cut Off: Road to Dunkirk. The free two-level vertical slice is handsome, très friendly, and refreshingly Gallic, but absent morale and fairly insignificant…
Three things you probably already know about Iwo Jima. 1) It’s a small volcanic island 750 miles south of Tokyo. 2) In early 1945 it was the scene of a fierce and costly five-week battle between US and Japanese forces.…
