SOF Team Alpha Escapes from Bad Luck and Abkhazian Insurgents - CMANO, Comms Disruption
And I bet you wanted to know what happened to the men of SOF Team Alpha, as reported in my previous post. Team Alpha is out of comms, unable to relay new targets to the A-10Cs.

"The first digital adaptation of the most popular ancients and medieval tabletop wargaming rules served as a stepping stone in the foundation of the Slitherine Group as we know it today", said Iain McNeil, Development Director of Slitherine. "We are happy to have RBS working on the next iteration of this PC game as he is both the father of the original tabletop game and the creator of its digital conversion".
It's 280 B.C. The Republic of Rome has just finished defeating its Italian neighbours and[/img] already the Southern territories are menaced by King Pyrrhus of Epirus. Carthage, to the South-West is also a threat to the newborn Mediterranean power. In the north, the Gaul's continue to see the rich Roman cities as inviting targets.
A new age of war is coming.
Set during the Rise of Rome from 280 BC to 25 BC, Field of Glory II will accurately simulate the battles of the Ancient World, before the full establishment of the Roman Empire....
