A War With No Enemy


Giving AGEOD's latest on the English Civil War a try tonight. It certainly has an interesting map. This is the classic AGEOD engine so if you know it you can dive right in. If you don't, this might be a good game to start with, since the army size, at least in the first part of the game, tends to be small.

Fleurus Two Times

I find the Pike and Shot period of warfare fascinating. Like the Napoleonic era and the American Civil War, it was a period of rapid evolution of warfare coupled with a time of dramatic political and social change. There's a lot to learn and understand about the wars of this period, and I keep getting drawn back to it.

Pike & Shot

The 16th Century saw the dawn of modern warfare, particularly in the brutal combat of the Thirty Years' War and the English Civil War. This has always been a favorite era of mine to study - but it has always also been an era poorly represented in wargames, particularly computer wargames.
