I think I have a board game or two that was printed in CGA.  :P

Remember CGA?  :buck2:

You get four colors. One of them will be cyan. What's not to like?

I knew what Cyan was, but I had to look it up to see what it looked li

OW, MY EYES!

Look on the bright side... if corners are cut in resizing (and the background colour of the file is cyan...) ... you get more cyan  (just like cowbell). :D

New updates for The Renaissance & The Seven Years War have been released. You can get them on the Updates page.

http://www.johntillersoftware.com/Updates.html

Played and still playing some 7YW pbems with default options:

Quote
-029.The Battle of Reichenberg
-053.Sandershausen - July 23, 1758
-033.Prague The Fall of Legends - May 6, 1757
-071.Warburg - July 31, 1760
-076.Torgau The Sheep Ponds - November 3, 1760

Tbh, most were defeat for me (as my opponents played so well i guess so i hit rough weather lol ^^) but most or all scenarios i played so far generated excitement. After having and played so many charge charge nappy titles, a different style and era game helped me to have what i was looking for for a jts musket type game. Brilliant manoeuvres, smoky musket duels, rare but effective charges, careful cavalry movements, attentive arty deployments, necessity of fresh reserves...

* My favorite so far is 071.Warburg and my ranking would be like that:


Quote
JTS 7YW Scenarios (pbem):
1) 071.Warburg - July 31, 1760 (28 turns)
2) 029.The Battle of Reichenberg (20 turns)
3) 076.Torgau The Sheep Ponds - November 3, 1760 (12 turns)
4) 033.Prague The Fall of Legends - May 6, 1757 (10 turns)
5) 053.Sandershausen - July 23, 1758 (14 turns)
...


Congrats to the creators of JTS 7YW.
Will give more opinions on scenarios rankings after playing more pbems.

I agree on Warburg. Cyrano and I playtested that one.

It’s been awhile since I played REN but I do not remember the color scheme being so bright. I need to figure out the process to convert my CD game version to a digital code. IIRC JTS offers a way to do this.
