Would be interested to hear what demos people have been trying out during Steam Next Fest.

Steel Company - Absolutely loving this. As someone who still plays Battle Academy regularly this feels more complex but still easy to access. Lots of scenarios and will be picking up straight away!

Theatre of War: Rearmed - Loved these games when I was young but the gameplay doesn’t really hold up. Think you can scratch the same itch with Gates of Hell. Might pick up during a sale for the Korean missions though.

Veterans: Napoleonic Wars - I’m sure work has gone into this so don’t want to be too harsh. I can get over AI usage in games but what I can’t get over is less unit command options than Empire Total War and unit pathing that doesn’t work. Avoid.

I’m tied to a MAC OS desktop (not literally) and I’m limited to war games I can play. HoI4, The Troop and SGS series of games fill the void but would love to hear some good recommendations of others out there.

Following a Soviet breakthrough the German commander authorized the release of the Marder 3 kept in reserve during the battle. The Marder arrived just on time and put up a stubborn fight but was ultimately overcome by Soviet AT rifles, where its crew was isolated and picked off.

The Pak-38, bypassed by the advancing Soviet troops, springs up in ambush to fire HE rounds at the back of the Soviet formation which you can see in the second picture. Meanwhile the third is from the perspective of the mansion overlooking the assault.
