I really like the interface of Battle Academy, it was a fast pick-up for me, and I am playtesting Pike & Shot . Certainly the lack of overwhelming detail (which is usually stuff command staff would do in an actual battle or operational situation). The annoyance at 'hex tracking' in turn based ga...

My problem with tactical and many strategic games is that I suck at multitasking and I am easily frustrated. It's not so much that I don't understand general tactical principles (force concentration) or common tactical tricks (defeat in detail, etc.) but that I have no concept of how to implement th...

I have recently really gotten into pike & shot, I grabbed an Osprey book on the topics and John Tiller's Renaissance. I would definitely be interested in seeing how this turns out (or testing it, assuming it would work on my machine!)

I became interested in Field of Glory initially because I wanted something with a good deal of detail and versatility; I really like how the battle groups are broken down and dealt wi...

I apologize for the somewhat obscure and abbreviated title, but I think you can figure it out. I am quite new to FoG, though I have a number of the army books. One thing I was wondering, as I was going over the rulebook, is to what extent the Renaissance and Napoleonic 'core rules' differ. Obviously...
