This game was recently released by Digital Gameworks. It's a turn and hexes based game, with plenty of abstractions and focused in simplicity and fast gameplay.
Please join me in a short video recap of my initial thoughts about this game.
The new game from Digital Gameworks shows a collision between abstracted features and designs that knock down the fun of fighting in the jungle. The inability to stack at least two men into the same hex quickly escalates into an ugly morass of lack of mutual support, diluted firepower and limited mobility. On top of that, the appalling good marksmanship of North Vietnamese recruits and the Tomahawk-like guiding of their RPGs transform this game into a wheel of fortune.
As mentioned in the video, something smells funny under the hood of this game engine, and is coming mainly from the compartment that stores the fire resolution tables.
Cheers,
JC

About This Game
Europe, beginning of the XIX century. Born from the ashes of the Ancient-Regime, the new French Empire is putting the old continent on fire, spreading the seeds of the Revolution.
Napoleon Bonaparte, inflicting several humiliating defeats to his enemies, has shown how ineffective the old tactics have been against him, forcing the other European powers to renovate their approach.
Will this be enough to put an end the French ambitions? Or it will be just another fruitless effort against the military genius of the Corsican ogre?
March to Glory is a turn-based strategy game that takes you through the Napoleonic wars with a new strategic and challenging gameplay, full of interesting mechanics combined with thrilling combat.

JUST FLIGHT Stinson L-5 Sentinel
Compatibility: Flight Simulator X, FSX: Steam Edition, P3D v4, P3D v3, P3D v2, P3D v1

The Stinson L-5 is typical of the type of aircraft developed during WWII for duties such as liaison, artillery spotting, photo-reconnaissance and casualty evacuation. Rugged and dependable, the design is a true 'work horse', showing little to no concern for aesthetics and equipped with no unnecessary embellishments. It simply does what it says on the tin.
The L-5 was dubbed 'The Flying Jeep' and, along with the Stinson L-1 Vigilant, was the only other American liaison aircraft of WWII that was purpose-built for military use. Other types were used, of course, but they tended to be converted from existing commercial designs such as the Piper Cub.
Nearly all Perspex, the cockpit area affords excellent visibility in all directions and the large door windows fold down to give uninterrupted viewing below. The design was created to be multi-functional and versions of the L-5 were produced to operate as air ambulances and carry small amounts of freight, munitions and other cargo. Its primary use was as a front-line liaison aircraft and artillery spotter.
