It is fun but hardly fun enough to debase oneself with such a post. :o

Reommended Curators on Steam. My top suggesestion:

NeoGAF. Their slogan: "Games we buy but never play."

Steam knows me too well. :(

Yeah, that's us Gaffers. Talk about video games, never actually play games.

Abyss Odyssey is a pretty fun roguelike with some wonky fight mechanics.

HMS Hercules was razor blades by 1939.  And she didn't look at all like that.  And she seems to have a Greek flag symbol, like the soldiers do.  Is this an alt-hist sort of game?

Well the infantry are carrying RPG-7s so I'd guess a lot of time travel is going on in that scenario.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

SR1936 is an adaptation of SR2020, which is slightly future. In this case, Hercules is a US Colorado class battleship that I bought the plans to make. :P

Anyway, the Germans didn't get down through Yugo for another couple years, so I had a bunch of escorts and a second BB there by then. Even so I barely survived it. And I was way the hell in debt (Greeks, duh).

So, a fantasy game (Greece building battleships, even obsolete ones?).  And Greek ships were RHS (Royal Hellenic Ship) not HMS.  And Colorado didn't look like the model, either!  :lol:

But, if it's fun, none of that matters.

Though I don't know what a SR1936 or SR2020 is.  Aren't they Italian biplanes?

I've been wondering whether to get this, it is clearly not that accurate a representation on WW2 but how is it in terms of fun and gameplay?

It's not too bad, but it's very unpolished. The level of accuracy they shoot for in the units is extreme, so they really only get them close for the big players. I mean they actually have it down to how many men per tank x how many tanks per unit = manpower required to build and stuff like that. Obviously, the icons are not so precise. Even the Nagato looks like an Iowa. Some are pretty good though.

And because it's basically Supreme Ruler 2020 brought back in time with some events added and stuff it's a bit clear that it's not suited to WW2 in various ways. For some reason I do like the engine though. The economic model is fairly complex. Much better than HOI in that way. Much more potential. Lots of complexity.

Or you know, the mod simply uses old art assets.

In SR2020, I enjoyed invading Indiana and Michigan with my Ohio.
