This Friday's post is something a bit out of the norm. We have a guest writer who is predominantly a miniatures player. He reviews our Thirty Years War game from that perspective and includes a competing digital product on the market, making some compare and contrast observations. We think you'll find the post interesting, and the value that TYW brings to the table is apparent:

A monumental campaign is covered in this Game of the Week offering. Napoleon's Russian Campaign chronicles the launch of a half-million man multi-national force into the depths of Russia.

Or can you stop him at Smolensk, or earlier, with the combined Russian armies? Pick up todays title and put the question to the test!

"Only one thing remained for the veteran Communist-cum-deity: reunification. Ever since the failed gamble of 1950, Pyongyang had endured a humiliating American presence on the peninsula, a permanent imperialist enclave that every day reminded Kim Il Sung of his one time failure.

For the proud North Koreans, such obligations were a bitter pill."

Todays Game of the Week - Modern Campaigns: Korea '85 - let's you explore the explosive situation that existed on the Korean peninsula in the mid '80's. Read all about it in todays blog post:
