Total War: Rome II - E3 2013 Stage Demo
Demo della dimostrazione di Rome 2 all'E3, notare il ridicolo cappello del tipo. Però fanno vedere la mappa strategica che pare bella grossa e molto bella, soprattutto molto più interattiva rispetto ai precedenti.

Battaglia di Mohacs
Trovato questo video (penso sia stato fatto con l'engine di MTW2), sulla battaglia di Mohacs del 1526. Uno dei motivi di vittoria dell'esercito ottomano non era solo il gran numero di truppe (molte erano composte da ausiliari dalla qualità non eccelsa), ma dall'enorme uso di cavalleria, che se meno corazzata di quella occidentale era anche più mobile e flessibile, e dall'uso dell'ottima fanteria dei giannizzeri e di un gran numero di cannoni, usati spesso come incudine difensiva per smorzare l'attacco nemico anche grazie a fortificazioni campali, mentre la cavalleria completava l'aggiramento.

Oggi sono in vena di nostalgia: classe '76, chi si ricorda i mobile suits, la base bianca? Gundam per l'epoca era una rivoluzione, un war-anime.
Uscito Command Ops: Battles for Greece
