Combat Mission Fortress Italy Got the "Engine 4" Treatment
And what an enjoyable game continues to be. I am in the process of revisiting my favorites scenarios and I noticed that many of them play differently than in previous iterations. Most noticeable for me is the behavior of infantry.
One more bazooka team out of action. Screenshot from "Catch a Tiger", a favorite of mine that teaches you the value of delaying contact with the enemy.
From the same scenario, a bazooka team fires one round against the front of an immobilized Tiger tank. Note how spread the two men team is
In this scenario, the improved behavior while being fired upon with HE rounds may play against the US team. Which gives players an excuse to replay it.
Another screenshot from my unpublished scenario "Rangers and Engineers at Gela". The new and improved peeking around corners behavior is evident in the screenie. The Italian Mobile Group E is approaching in the background. This scenario will need some serious tweaking.

Food for thought: reconstructing the diet of Napoleon's Grand Army
A recent analysis from a 19th century mass grave has revealed the surprisingly complex dietary - and social - diversity among Napoleon's armed forces

Understanding the historic past can be incredibly challenging. Written records are only as accurate as the knowledge of the author, and historical narratives can be influenced by political orientations and specific agendas. Even accurate depictions of historical events may not reveal the whole truth; how some people may have experienced a particular event may differ radically from how the majority of people experienced it. The version of history that makes its way into history books can be incomplete.
That's why archaeology is necessary to corroborate written documents of historical events. Physical evidence is a powerful check on speculation, deceit, and inaccuracy.

Get ready for an adventure in history! Logic Artists, the makers of Expeditions: Conquistador, are pleased to bring you Expeditions: Viking.
Prepare for a grand adventure
As the newly appointed chieftain of a modest Viking clan, you'll have a village of your very own. But to carve your name into the runestones of history you'll need great strength, and great wealth to grow your village's prosperity and renown. There is little left to be gained from the Norse lands and so you must set your sights on the the seas to the West, where tales speak of a great island filled with treasure ready for the taking.
Seek your fortune
Your trusted huscarls will follow you to Valhalla if that be the order of the day, but you'll need more than loyalty to leave a legacy that will be remembered for a thousand years. Now assemble a worthy band of warriors, build a ship, and seek your wealth and glory across the sea. Britannia awaits in Logic Artists' Expeditions: Viking.
