Hey grognards, the lazy bear is finally out of and I am kicking things off with Panzer Corps 2: Frontlines Cyrenaica, where I somehow had a blast leading the Italians to (scripted) doom. More reviews coming, promise.

Task Force Admiral is a clear labor of love, even in its early demo state. Despite rough edges, the attention to historical accuracy and immersive gameplay stands out.

If you love strategy games but hate the grindy "meta" of RTS, Terminator: Dark Fate: Defiance is a breath of fresh air. It nails the gritty, tactical feel of wargames with smart mechanics and meaningful decisions.

Combat Mission's take on the Eastern Front is a must-have title for any Eastern Front enthusiast or for anyone who can't sleep at night, knowing their collection is not complete without some Soviet meat-grinding bonanza on their computer screen. Oorah!

Grand Tactician has a new DLC "Whiskey & Lemons". It allows a new "career" game mode with a strong RPG flavor. Although fresh and intriguing, the ever ailing A.I. gets in the way of a satisfying gaming experience.

@RSWars Ah so u would edit a mission and just play by yourself?
