Back To Page 3 The Svir is simple to use. You do not even have to use the rangefinder. It is off, at any rate, because the missile uses it for guidance. You remember your training on the Vikhr, back when you were learning the Su-25T? It is the same. We put the sight on […]
Back To Page 2 “Vadim, stop! Pavel, scan, azimuth 45.” Vadim’s eyes are sharp. “Sir! APC on the ridge ahead!” I locked my 1K-13 scope on it and flipped the switch to center the gun. “Track, one eight hundred meters! Load HE-T! Weapon free!” “Identified!” Pavel zoomed his sight in close. “Hull down, two hundred meters from the landmark!” […]
Back To Page 1 It all started, Shoura, when the KFOR intelligence pukes (that is an American term — we have been hanging around Camp Bondsteel way too much) got some “hot dope” that the KLA was about to start something. We even knew what sector they would be in, and we staked out […]
The Chapel of Hate by Cat Dear Shoura, I hope this letter finds you well and happy. Grandmama has written me, and she tells me you have been naughty and got yourself chair bound again, haha! This does not surprise me to hear, but I bet Papa was. You are after all supposed to set […]
Back To Page 3 Full Spectrum Warrior. Full Spectrum Warrior is based on a game commissioned by the U.S. Army to train light Infantry troops in urban combat situations. The design combines squad-based combat with real-time tactical strategy allowing you to experience the intensity and gritty realism of urban warfare. Instead of being one character, you control […]
Back To Page 2 Shellshock: Nam ’67. Yet another Vietnam game. This one seems to be a little different from the other two mentioned. For one, you don’t have a first person character in this game; instead your character is seen in third person view. Also, this one strives to show you the horrors of war. […]
Back To Page 1 Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault. The next installment in the Medal of Honor series is set in the Pacific Theatre battlefields. There will be the typical linear storyline for the single player campaign. But what about the multiplayer aspect of the game? There hasn’t been much multiplayer information released yet, but I did […]
by Chuck “Magnum MGG” Ankenbauer Wow, Christmas is just around the corner! What does that mean for the PC gamer? Well, to start with you need to start saving your money and begin deciding what games to get and what to pass up. I’m not concerned with the thousands of console games to be released […]
Back To Page 4 Overall Opinions and Recommendations There are few games out there that compare with the Combat Mission series in scope and depth of gameplay. For amateur tacticians, and for some professional ones, there are few games that match it. To win in the game you need to take terrain, weather, the […]
Back To Page 3 Gameplay Well, overall the gameplay of the first two games is brought forward into this game. The strengths and weaknesses of gameplay are still there, for good and bad. AI is a mixed bag in this game. I’ve said before in other reviews that the AI is very good on […]
How to Play The real bread and butter of any wargame is its playability. Wargamers are not FPS players, although there are folks that play both. Wargaming is a slower paced method of play; folks with ADD probably wouldn’t enjoy wargaming. Planning is much more important than execution in most wargames. Go rushing in helter […]
Installation, Setup and Manual Setup for CM:AK is pretty straight forward, just like it has for other games. I have never been able to get auto run to work with the game but go to the CD-ROM drive, hit setup and the game installed without a hitch. Unlike some early difficulties with CM:BB the game […]
