Steel Division Normandy 44 - The Road Bend from Hell
A beta for Steel Division Normandy 44 is available through Steam.
I blundered an armored vehicle through the sights of an unseen German AT gun (somewhere in the background). Note the armored infantry dismounting on the right.
This real time strategy war game is from the makers of the acclaimed Wargame series. This beta features two maps and the skirmish mode only. Yet, there is a lot of game time in it.
A German scout aircraft passed by and now my men are booked for something bad. Moving out!
The views and the scope of a single skirmish in Steel Division are stunning. Older players like me are encouraged to play at a pace that suits both their desired level of involvement and capacity to process what is going on. For myself, this is at very low speed and zooming into each individual spot where tactical goodies are being spilled.
This aerial view of the area of operations has nothing to envy from those illustrations in Osprey Campaign books.

Steel Beasts ProPE 4.019 - Firing Positions Do Expire
In case you didn't know, Steel Beasts had a new update which brings it to version 4.019.
A nice firing position, which I should never, never, never hold on to for too long.
See me over there? Top of the hill, with a commanding view of the valley below, already killed a Russian T-90 ... What can go wrong?
Staying put. Either to fire or observe. That kills.
This story started a bit earlier and here is a brief summary of what happened.
I am the commanding officer of a US Cavalry troop and the war finds me in command of just a platoon of M3A2s. We have to make it through a bridge as part of our mission and we know that there is ENY presence. In this screenshot, the vehicle of my XO, who volunteered to take a peek at the bridge.

Scourge of War Waterloo - Wavre DLC - Pushed From The Dyle - AAR
A new DLC has been released for the Scourge of War Waterloo series. This AAR is for the smallest of the scenarios included in the DLC. I'm in command of a tiny force of Prussians (some 2700 men, no support of any kind), the first contestants against the French trying to link up with Napoleon.
The initial deployment had my forces too exposed to the French (which are advancing from the far background) so I decided to move all my command across the Dyle River.
It's getting crowded at the main crossing, Pont du Christ. One belgian would say, some decades later "we love our German brothers, just not all of them at the same time".
The last battalion to leave the east side of the river rushes under a steady French cannonade. Just see the craters following them.
