A thread were we can post wargames/simulated-wargames in general.
So as to not to be confusing and/or rise a debate between definitions (wargame/simulation/game), I have added the video below, a bit long but worth the food for thought...

Shrapnel Games (Gamers Front), has it´Summer Sale going on till the 16th. of July...
Gamers Front:
Gamers Front Store Shrapnel Games: Shrapnel Games Home Also home of winSPWW2 and winSPMBT I own ATF: Armored Task Force which I really like, and if you buy Battle Group Commander: Episode One and install it on top of ATF, you can use the BGC: E1 engine (newer) to run ATF. Although these are older games vs whats up today, they are still very good and difficult to master. IMHO they actually beat alot of wargames today still. They were used for actual US mil trainning in the past. ATF actually comes with a user manual and a official US FM manual
Brefings and map markings are quite RL too.
Here´s BCT Commander (also on sale) in action...
ATF is basically a modernized version of BCT Commander. Don´t let the old graphical look fool you, it´s actually a hardcore wargame, it just dosen´t have a modern UI and graphics and can be a bit clunky on controls at times. Another good thing is that it will run on a potato! Patrick Proctor ATF developer is a actual Mayor in the US army.
You can download demos for all there games from the Shrapnel home site, but don´t expect to jump in on one of there games and come out winning from the start! Will need to do some reading and follow the online tutorials.

That's one I have been following. I hope it's good and have reason to believe it will be. High hopes!
We have a thread on it don't we? Or maybe that was on Battlefront's board? I'm on so many forums I can't keep it all straight.
Ah, here it is. Red was part of that.

August 21 . . . but (unfortunately) in Early Access through the end of the year. The developer says there are still bugs and balance issues in the campaign game.
Though I have seen no plans mentioned, it would be nice of some graphical improves could be thrown in there (i.e. some Zouave uniforms for the Union, some variable uniforms for the Confederates, as well as correct Confederate flags, vs all using the ANV flag).
