Espana 1936 Review

Mentre su The Wargamer trovate la recensione del second gioco Ageod uscito di recente, Espana 1936. Si tratta dell'opera di un modder\collaboratore di Ageod.

http://www.wargamer.com/article/3459/pc-game-review-espana-1936-review

Il giudizio è che essenzialmente è un buon gioco ma si tratta di uno scenario che lo condanna ad essere di nicchia.




Review di Civil War II

Su La Gazette du Wargamer trovate una review di Ageod Civil War II.

http://www.wargamer.fr/test-de-civil-war-ii/

Il giudizio complessivo è molto positivo.

Ageod Espana 1936 esce il Primo Ottobre

Il prossimo gioco Ageod, frutto del lavoro di un modder, è previsto per settimana prossima. La guerra civile spagnola è un'ambientazione strana, sono curioso di vedere come ne hanno realizzato le complessità.

In España 1936 you will experience the famous battles of Jarama, Guadalajara and Ebro, command the International Brigades or the Army of Africa. Can you conquer Madrid and force the Republic to surrender or will you lead the Anarchist forces of Durruti to victory?
The game covers a period rarely seen in computer games and has rich historical detail and historical accuracy. It is the first computer strategy game covering the entire Spanish Civil War. You will face the real dilemmas and challenges of the Republicans or Nationalists during the war. Not only must you recruit and train troops, maneuver them and engage the enemy, but you must also manage your nation’s limited resources.

Using the powerful AGE engine, España: 1936 covers the complete Spanish Civil War from 1936-1939. The game features more than 200 regions, complete with cities, roads, weapons factories, weather types, factions and subfactions of the time of the war. The game includes a grand campaign plus the Fall of the North, a host of historical leaders, units and events. España: 1936 is a must-have for any grand strategy fan.

Alea Jacta Est Birth of Rome due video di gameplay

Nel week end ho fatto un po' di turni con Alea Jacta Est Birth of Rome, nello specifico con lo scenario della Prima Guerra Punica. Mi sono trovato parecchio in difficoltà nel primo anno. Un esercito consolare era bloccato in Etruria per una rivolta locale, mentre l'altro anche se sbarcato con successo a Messina in aiuto dei Mamertini, si è trovato presto a corto di uomini anche perchè lo stretto è spesso bloccato dalla flotta punica (le mie prime flotte improvvisate le hanno prese), e alla fine si è trovato cacciato nella piana di Catania. I cartaginesi sono sbarcati in Campania, ma grazie al cielo proprio in quel momento l'esercito consolare in Etruria si è liberato, anche perchè non avevo abbastanza engagement points per mobilitare un esercito dittatoriale. Alla fine sono riuscito sia a distruggere l'esercito nemico nella penisola che ha mobilitare un dittatore, ma ci è voluto tempo per sbarcare a Messina (assediata da Siracusani e Cartaginesi, 30000 uomini). Alla fine ce l'ho fatto ed ora ho forzato Siracusa ad allearsi con me e procedo a conquistare la Sicilia un pezzo alla volta.
