Distant Worlds 2 – Review
In a dark corner of a hostile galaxy, the primitive tribe of New Hellas have finally mastered spaceflight and begin to slowly edge out of their gravity well to explore the rest of their star-system.

Old World: Heroes of the Aegean – review
Mohawk Games' excellent strategy Old World arrived on Steam in May - with a bonus for those who got it in the first two weeks: the new "Heroes of the Aegean" DLC, free of charge. In these tricky times, there's not much that's free - but is this DLC worth picking up?
Star Dynasties – Review
Picture the scene: It's tense at the royal court as the heir, a rebellious hellraiser barely eighteen, is brought before his father, the duke.

A long time ago, there was a great series of turn-based strategies. It began with East Front, and then continued through a number of games, built on the original's chassis.

Eventually these evolved into the famed and venerable John Tiller engine, that you can see, to this day, in the Squad Battles series. Those are definitely still worth a look.

Decisive Campaigns: Ardennes Offensive – Review
There are some battles that are just really well-suited for wargames. Battles like Waterloo, Gettysburg, Hastings or the Normandy landings, despite being from very different time periods, have more than a few things in common. These are an intriguing tactical position, exciting or famous military units, colorful characters and, perhaps, an exotic setting.
