Point Of Attack 2

Part of the TACTICAL STUDIES SERIES



"Ultra-Realistic" Modeling

HPS Simulations, working with the United States Air Force Office of Scientific Research, is proud to announce the release of Point of Attack 2, a Scott Hamilton simulation.

POA2 is a modern tactical level simulation that depicts combat over a wide range of circumstances and levels, from platoons and individual vehicles to company or higher sized units. It features complete depiction of supporting artillery, air strikes, electronic warfare, engineer, chemical warfare, helicopter, naval, and psyop units, network communications, and satellites.

Units are depicted with official NATO symbology. Scenarios include Germany, Korea, Southwest Asia, and the US Army's National Training Center, along with hypothetical terrorist attacks on US soil.



Details
POA-2 is not a "beer-and-pretzels" type of game, though it does include user-settable modes that allow it to be played in a more relaxed manner. Instead, POA-2 is:

Exactingly realistic, using rigorous physics and empirical material properties in firing, damage, sighting, communications, and weather modeling.

Profoundly detailed, including individual round calculations,...

Scourge of War Waterloo: Quatre Bras - Review

A smaller battle than Waterloo, packed with historical quality and nail-biting Napoleonic warfare, Quatre Bras is not only a great wargame but a tour de force on generalship and history.






Technical specifications
Scourge of War Quatre-Bras
Add-on for Scourge of War: Waterloo
by NorbSoftDev
Published by Slitherine/Matrix Games
Digital Download: U$ 19.99
Also available on Steam

Scourge of War is a 3D continuous time, tactical/grand tactical wargame. I had the pleasure of reviewing the Waterloo edition a while back.

Quatre-Bras is the latest DLC for Scourge of War Waterloo and includes 5 scenarios where the player commands either Allied or French forces. The commands given to the player are brigades (1 scenario, Allied side), divisions (2 scenarios, Allied and French), and Corps (2 scenarios, Allied and French).

In both scenarios where the player is in command of Corps, the typical challenges of command and proper use of tactics of the era are unrelentlessly evident.

Scenario 5 puts the player in the role of the Duke of Wellington. The scenario lasts 3 hours of simulated time and starts at 2:00 PM. The forces available short at the...

DCS SA342 Gazelle - The Hovering Command Post

In this mission, I'm piloting a French Gazelle and our mission is to coordinate the establishment of a Georgian Armed Forces outpost near the Batumi Airport. Dismounted opposition is expected: insurgents armed with small arms and RPGs at OBJs Charleroi and Dinant.


After a few final words regarding coordination and other logistics, I am back to the Gazelle with the commanding officer on the copilot seat. In the background, the convoy (2 LAVs, 1 Humvee and 2 trucks transporting infantry) departs from Batumi.


Mission for today: in order to ensure a safe transit of the convoy, clear OBJ Dinant and Charleroi. CAS is provided by a Mirage 2000C and my Gazelle, which is armed with a cannon and rockets.


Taxiing at Batumi. The Mirage 2000C is seen too near one of the runway accesses.


Flying along the convoy (on the road to the right). The relatively high altitude is because of the power lines. NOTE: the new flight model allows a better degree of control, including airspeed.


The commander asked me to make a show of force in Helvachauri. Here I am flying by an apartment complex.
