Why I Think Terminator: Dark Fate – Defiance is a Wargame

If you love strategy games but hate the grindy "meta" of RTS, Terminator: Dark Fate: Defiance is a breath of fresh air. It nails the gritty, tactical feel of wargames with smart mechanics and meaningful decisions. Sure, multiplayer’s sparse, but the campaign is so good, you won’t even care...

Re: Living Manual

The explanation is actually really simple. We handed in about 900 pages of text (ie what is now the Living Manual) and all the images.

Re: Ukraine 2022 - Beta v1.24

Thanks. We will adjust the hex conversion rate so that the Russians can make it to the west of Kyiv by day 2, as historical. Plan on it being posted next week. I am looking at any recent details about initial deployments, which are scarce, but some adjustments will be made. Great work on the mod an...

Re: How to be a Better Armchair General

Yes, I enjoyed it too. Thank you Thanks for your kind words! Thank you! Love the game, but I'm an incompetent officer. This helps. No one is incompetent, I am also fairly bad at wargames if I am honest but I always try to find ways to improve. Max, thanks. I specifically appreciate your efforts to ...

Not Enough of Oil as Japan

Hi Wargamers,

Playing as Japan in 41, after attacking pearl harbour then about 5-6 turns in,I realise I am out of oil and can’t do any more sorties.

Checking my supply lines it seems fine but I am not sure why I ran out of oil or replace them.
