I totally missed that Wargame Construction Set was released on Steam. Wargame Construction Set III: Age of Rifles 1846-1905 is a classic and I still have it on the PC to this day. It deserves a remake.  :bigthumb:

The Wargame Construction Sets are also available on GOG as well as SSI's Great Naval Battles series.

That is just the tip of the SSI classic iceberg. There are a number of SSI titles recently released on GOG.

They may be dated a bit but most have good gameplay and they make great laptop travel games.

Plenty of Post-Holiday Pre-Orders ~ #TuesdayNewsday
ACDC is done & Dusted.  Votes for Women gets jerked around by Facebook.  The hobby loses one of our earliest titans.

it was streamed within the Discord, but Peter didn't record it that I know of

I'm happy to try to get y'all connected for an online game some time if you'd like.  He's local to me, so easier to track down :)

Oh, I appreciate that - but I'm not ready for that. I haven't even looked at the manual yet. I was just going to sit and watch them play it through. I've been looking for videos on YT and there's precious few at the moment...but that's ok...I'm balls deep in Red Strike at the moment

Thank you though - appreciate it.  :notworthy:

I'll work through these videos...just watching your Keynote...I already watched your Opening Happy Hour the other day.
