- Welcome to Dogs Of War Vu.
Cry Havoc! And let slip the dogs of war!
Hello,
With the Artemis II mission completed, I have turned in my notice and will be retiring from NASA on August 31, 2026. This will allow me to participate in wargaming a LOT more.
First up is the completion of the World War II - Europe (WWIIE) scenarios. I have completed scenario 26 (Italian Campaign), but have not released. I am working on Scenario #95 Germany 1945. The remaining scenarios to be developed are:
1. Blitzkrieg 1939 - 1941
33. France 1944 - 1945
98. Gotterdammerung
100. West Front Campaign
101. East Front Campaign
I'll be more active on this forum in the future, and will have more to say about wargame development, etc. Thank you for your patience. I had a long career with NASA (45 years) and enjoyed it greatly, but it is time to change the direction and priorities of my life!

R.U.S.E. is Back With Re-Release on Steam!
Tue, 5 May 2026
R.U.S.E., the ultimate strategic experience, has returned to Steam (PC, Steam Deck) with its relaunch today. At Eugen Systems, we are thrilled to bring R.U.S.E. to a new generation of players and welcome back old veterans of our evergreen popular World War II RTS. To this day, it holds a unique position in the genre for favoring deception, strategy, and tactical wit.
While we developed and launched R.U.S.E. in 2010, the game didn't officially belong to us. Sidelined due to distribution constraints, we could do nothing in the subsequent years to help the players who contacted us for assistance or tried to obtain the game. Recently, we received the opportunity to return R.U.S.E. to our catalog. This allowed us to re-release this pillar of the RTS genre, with some added extras!
Players who previously purchased R.U.S.E. on Steam before it was delisted will keep full access to the title, including all technical updates and all DLCs at no additional cost.
We are also proud to confirm that R.U.S.E. is now fully compatible with Steam Deck.
As a reminder, R.U.S.E. in a few words:
