Any decent PC-based hex-wargame?

Just an update, I have had to start a new website with the same games, as for some reason I cannot log in to edit the old site. The site itself still works, and you can still browse around and downlo…

What are you playing?

I am playing Panzer General and I am in the process of reading the instructions to Clash Of Steel, with the aim of playing it too. These are all computer hex-based, turn based war simulations, as I h…

What have you purchased lately?

I have ordered nothing, and I own no games. The reason for this, is I am in an unfortunate position of not having anyone to play against. I do not know a single person into wargaming. Many years ago…

I don't see any advantage to hex-shaped counters and a lot of disadvantages. The only problem with square counters is when the hexes are too small.
December 2, 2009
Probably no more than what square counters would, but if the hexes where made slightly bigger, that would not be an issue.
December 2, 2009
Wouldn't hex shaped counters simply block out all view of what was underneath?
December 1, 2009
You are right john, realistic supply constraints are important, and like you say, you can combine that task with HQ counters.
November 30, 2009
A lot of these are production issues - not design or development. In terms of design, the primary thing missing from operational games is realistic supply constraints - that's why I can't bring myself to play anything other than OCS now. That doesn'…

I can understand that if you had to cut out your own counters, hex counters would be really difficult and fiddley to do, and would be a none starter. However, I was really thinking of a proper production manufacturer doing the punching for the imagi…
November 30, 2009
Hex-shaped pieces for me are a real pain to punch out. I tend to use a hobby knife to cut pieces off the sprues--results in nicely squared corners. Can't really do this with hex-shaped pieces.

If YOU were in a Game Designing Team....

If you were in a Game Designing Team, designing a new game for mainstream publication, what would you like to see incorporated into the game that tends to be missed out or not used in typical standard strategy games, especially the areas that really bug you?

I think my main demand for inclusion would be if the map uses hexes, then the pieces should be hex shaped, not square. Another one would be to make the hexes on the map a little bigger, even though this would make the map bigger, but it sur… Continue

Panzer Digest published a number of nice games that are simple but vexing in the positive sense of the word that are usually perfect for solo play.

I've found the internal debate (i.e. the debate in my head) has been to either play a lot of games poorly or a few games well. I prefer the latter model, but then you must, as you say, find that set of holy grail games that one chooses to become goo…

Yes, this was a creepy ad. I looked at the Audi website to compare this car to others. Oddly enough, you are unable to compare it to the VW SportWagon TDI, which gets exactly the same mileage.

I'd love to see more open source work, but I'm especially thinking of computer games. That would allow not just designers, but the developers, to look "under the hood" to see what makes a good game work. Even if that education is taken to commercial…

I haven't seen much in the way of Napoleonic games as of late, and I think the COA system always lagged a bit because the rules changed quite a bit and there have been lots of questions surrounding a new, more playable system. I think if someone can…

What I think will be coolest about the concept is the use of touch displays to pick up and move counters, etc. and swipe the display with a finger to quickly scroll and view the map. All this while having a live chat window or audio option to talk t…
