What did the Romans do for us?
They invented the modern world. Modern cities, modern warfare, modern living all first came together in ancient Rome. The Romans were the first superpower, controlling around a quarter of the world's population. This film looks at how they used technology to hold together their empire. We see the ingenious pilum, a spear cleverly designed so that the enemy couldn't throw it back; the scorpion, a bolt-firing weapon of war; and the rock-hurling ballista, the fore-runner of modern artillery.

Desert War 1940-1942 - Extended Preview
I had a chance to preview the beta for Desert War 1940-1942 (BK Games, published by Matrix/Slitherine).
In the video below (make sure to watch in HD at YouTube), a bit of gameplay and notes of the main features from a relatively small scenario in which I command the Italian Ariete Division.
All game footage is from a beta and it may not reflect the final product appearance and features.
Cheers,

JUST FLIGHT Avro Vulcan B Mk2
Compatibility: Flight Simulator X, FSX: Steam Edition, P3D v4, P3D v3, P3D v2, P3D v1
In development
Home page
Following on from their award-winning Canberra PR9, Hawk T1/A Advanced Trainer and Tornado GR1, this highly detailed simulation of the Avro Vulcan B Mk2 is being developed by Just Flight's in-house team following comprehensive, hands-on research with a real-life Vulcan B Mk2, XM655, based at Wellesbourne Airfield.
The Vulcan B Mk2 is an iconic, four-engine, delta-wing strategic bomber which saw service in the UK during the Cold War. XM655, on which this product is based, was the third-from-last Vulcan to be produced for the Royal Air Force. It was delivered in 1964 and saw service as part of the UK's nuclear deterrent force throughout the 60s and 70s. It is now being preserved by a team of volunteers at Wellesbourne Airfield.
Here are some early development shots
