Syt, did you ever play any of the Decisive Campaigns series? I've enjoyed them all, but have precious few people to PBEM against.  :hmm:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I've been eyeing Last Train, any reports on gameplay?
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

I've never really broken into them. They seem ... big and clunky? Though I guess that Ardennes is most accessible (Steam says I have 13 minutes in it. :D I have 5 hours in Warsaw to Paris - much of that doing the tutorial two or three times, similar for Barbarossa :lol: )
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

They are big, to be sure, but I've not found them all that clunky! The number of decisions seems daunting at first blush, but I think it's actually quite channeled for such a complex game.

If you ever want to give one of them a real shot, let me know.  :P

Last Train is on my list to get someday. But time....

Mashinky is also one  I'm eying up in this promotion (albeit not on sale?). That looks potentially very good.

I really should learn how to play A-Train someday.

I think that the management aspects of Last Train look good, but the real-time combat is a no-go.
