Its very good, and certainly no lighter than OST, CoH or BoB.

Look out for my unboxing, and I may do a more in-depth review soon.

If you've been wanting Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock, but haven't bought it yet, now's your chance - it's only one dollar on Fanatical right now. I grabbed it when I bought Humankind from them (also on sale, though not as deeply, lol).

Holy crap.  Even for just the base game, that's an incredible deal.  :o

And just to point out the obvious, both Steam's autumn sale and Matrix/Slitherine's holiday sale have begun...

Please don't point things out like that.  ;D

Just purchased WarPlan Pacific from Matrix for $19.99   WPP got overall decent reviews and it's not like there a ton of Pacific Theatre games out there.  I have my eye on Decisive Campaigns: Ardennes but it's not on sale and I have plenty on my gaming plate, so I'll wait on that one.  Still, the reviews on DCA are good enough to be tempting. Slowly backing away from the credit card without making eye contact.....

Somewhere, somehow, I woke up in the wrong timeline. I'm pretty sure this isn't even my dimension.

So far, I've only grabbed Adeptus Mechanicus and the Reinforcement Pack for Gladius.  However, I'm also seriously looking at picking up Crown of Glory: Emperors Edition, Espana 1936, and Thirty Years' War (because I'm a masochist that way).

Just got an email that Steam has some classic Sid Meier 80's wargames, originally published by Microprose, now under the Atari banner for around $7 US each:

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/23974/Sid_Meiers_Command_Series_Collection/

They're a bit hard on the eye by contemporary standards but should still be interesting to play.

Atari Re-releases Sid Meier's Command Series for PC

Three classic tactical war games are now available on Steam
Atari today announced the return of legendary game designer Sid Meier’s Command Series of classic 1980’s strategy games and are now available on Steam.
 
Decision in the Desert
El Alamein, October 1944.  You hear the rumble of three hundred enemy tanks advancing against your position in the North African desert. Deploy your tanks, artillery, air cover and ground troops in this historically accurate simulation.

 
Crusade in Europe
Normandy, June 1944.  An invasion force of more than 150,000 British, Canadian and American forces hits the beach, and then their actions on the ground need to be coordinated in response to real-time events on the battlefield. The beginning of a true military crusade.

 
Conflict in Vietnam
Ia Drang, November 1965. The deafening whip of chopper blades indicates that the first large-scale helicopter assault ever attempted is underway. The battle begins with touchdown at LZ X-Ray. It ends five days later and no one is sure who has won, or what lessons were learned.
 
The three part series of tactical wargames was originally released in the 1980s under the MicroProse label. The approach to the Command Series grew from observation of actual tabletop U.S. military scenario exercises, and Sid Meier collaborated with historian Ed Bever to ensure the games’ historical accuracy.

The games challenge players to manage assets, strategically place and move them around the battlefield map, and outmaneuver the enemy. Victory requires careful strategic thinking and fast responses to rapidly changing battlefield conditions.

“El Alamein, October 1944”….  :2funny: Typo 101.

But Crusade in Europe was a great game.  :bigthumb:

Sorry, I was in a hurry getting the kids ready for bed and just copy-pasted the email, warts and all. No doubt the typo is the result of the casual wargaming world's Normandy/Bulge bias.
