Fight for Bühl

Spotlight Article Graphic

"The Austrian artillery is now somewhat exposed, worse - they go low on ammunition (maximum fire is one die - as per a random event ….. unlucky!)" Norm Smith, in Battlefields & Warriors, brings us a fast-paced French/Austrian Napoleonic clash, using his home brew rules. Can the Austrian gunners save themselves and the day when they "...keep up the pressure on the horsemen and eventually, the mauled French cavalry are deterred from making any further attacks..."!?!

PC Review - Divided Ground: Middle East Conflict 1948-1973

Rainier Van Autrijve gives a mostly negative review based on graphics and the age of the system platform used for the game. He prefers other games released in 2001 sporting 3D graphics and platforms with more features. The reviewer represents changing tastes among war gamers in the PC/Internet era. Although the web site is active, older articles have lost their picture links so this is a copy from the Internet Archive. We thank Archive.org for preserving this web page and it’s graphics.

Divided Ground: Middle East Conflict 1948 – 1973 (war game review)

Although Sidney Riot only rates the game at 70% mainly due to the graphics, sound qualities, and complexity, he praises the overall game. Graphics and sound for computer games are always changing for the better leaving older games with weaker look and feel qualities. He rates game play as the strongest feature.
