Re: Command Structure

Very similar but it varies with the army type. I like to give the CinC some reserve units, or in a cavalry army the CinC may have a command. If I have a general with the larger radius I like to put him in the center of an infantry line and give another general a flank command. I have started using m...

I remember the glory days of boardgaming when SPI produced a series of 'Folio Games' which comprised a small map with low unit count and could be p...

Re: What's Slitherine's Best MP Game (PBEM++)?

Field of Glory II - both Ancient and Medieval versions. Lots of player made leagues plus the official Slitherine tournaments. For WWII Valor and Victory is good or Combat Mission. All these are more tactical games than you listed but also good MP games. You could try Order of Battle for a more opera...

Re: Steel Tigers: Vapor Ware

Steel Panthers is awesome, still is. Mega Campaigns are still playable. And with the enhancements from the Depot guys, it is still working fine in 2024. The fact is, Steel Tigers is an idea from 2005 or so. It's an idea that hasn't happened for 20 years. The program as it was, might as well never h...

Re: FoG joy: Control or history?

Field of Glory 2 (FoG2) can be a tough nut to crack, especially coming from a more action-oriented game like WH 40k: Battlesector. While both involve strategy, they prioritize different aspects: Emphasis on direct control and unit abilities: You directly command units and have more influence on ind...
