Anyone playing this free-to-play game?

I played around with it a bit. Nothing to fancy and a nice way to fight a quick fantasy battle but it didn't really keep my attention. After awhile the battles began to feel a bit samey.

More Data Diving Into the 2024 Solo & Solitaire Wargaming & Historical Gaming Survey ––

How do favorites compare based on how long you've been a wargamer, or what percentage of your boardgaming is focused on wargaming?

Hey, this sounds interesting! I should pick it up.

Oh, I already own it.

Oh, I already have it installed on my new rig.

Sigh.

1502         Cesare Borgia captures Pergola, while, in secret, his principle lieutenants conclude the "Pact of La Magione," to betray him.
Lord Giulio Cesare da Varano of Camerino (68), and his sons Annibale (34), Venanzio (25), & Pirro (16), strangled at Pergola, by order of Cesare Borgia

1878. No language can describe adequately the condition of a large portion of the Balkan Peninsula – Serbia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, and other provinces. Political intrigues, constant rivalries, a total absence of all public spirit, hatred of all raves, animosities of rival religions, and absence of any controlling power – nothing short of an army of 50,000 of the best troops would produce anything like order in these parts.
D’Israeli, Prime Minister of Great Britain

1934 King Alexander Karageorgevich of Yugoslavia (1921-1934), 45, assassinated in Marseilles by Bulgarian radical Vlado Chernozemski, 36, who is then killed by police, who also mortally wound French Foreign Minister Louis Barthou, 72, who dies shortly afterwards
