After spending what seems like an eternity in the trenches Trash finally went over the top to deliver us this review of Ageod's World War One.

With Scourge of War - Gettysburg, the first offering from Take Command veterans NorbSoftDev, nearing its release date, TCancer took a preview build out for a ride.

Like its predecessor, SOWGB features a unique chain of command system. You can play the game on exactly the level that suits you best, and are allowed to take command of everything from a single Regiment (a few hundred men) to full Corps (very large formations of 8.000 to 20.000 men). Commanding a Brigade is easy, a Division is already much harder, but Corps consists of such a huge number of units that commanding on this level poses special difficulties: you can jump directly into the shoes of Generals Lee or Meade, but don't expect it will be an easy job.

Today I take a closer look at Ageods Wars In America. I announced this review to Jason so many times that it's almost ridiculous. But it now also includes a beginners guide to playing the game, and that might actually be more interesting than my lousy attempts to write an objective review.

Other: confusing references to other games, fanboi bias, contains Indian porn.

Trash lets little men murder each other in this Combat Mission Shockforce AAR.

I've been given two battalions of infantry with Strykers and a battery of mortars as backup with some snipers and machineguns for good measure. There are also supposed to be two Abrahms tanks that will show up later. Three of the Strykers have grenade launchers besides their machineguns.

The probability is large that I outgun the insurgents, especially with the Strykers. That means that the open space around the town favors me. However, once I enter the town that advantage will soon evaporate. I mostly worry about RPGs and IEDs.

An interesting addition over the original Majesty is the introduction of special places on the map, such as holy places and mule stations. On the latter you can build trading posts which will spawn mule carts full with gold from time to time. If such a mule cart manages to arrive at your market in one piece (as opposed to in the stomach of that hungry ogre) that gold is yours.
