I am impressed

In the age of Pike and Shot, mighty struggles erupted across Europe for causes religious, political or dynastic. The Thirty Years War raged across Germany and beyond, leaving devastation in its wake, but saw the rise of great commanders such as Count Tilly, Wallenstein and King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, and rapid developments in battlefield tactics.

I purchased the game. So far, so good.

A subject matter I am keenly interested in.

The perfect light, brief play through war game to pass the time with on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Just what I was looking for! [8D]

I really like this game. It is a nice treatment of tactical situations in the period under study. Easy to play. The unit detail is pretty good. The Turkish units were a novel surprise in a Turk-Polish skirmish I played. I have found that that I am not able to beat the AI above the intro level. For instance at level 2 my cavalry seem to just disintegrate on contact with the enemy. Several of the campaign scenarios seem impossible. Despite this it is a lot of fun. Fun is a missing element in many modern simulations. I am not always in the mood to run the entire Pacific Theater or Operation Barbarossa by myself.
