Is ultimate general grog enough?

Ultimate General definitely counts - it deals with the ACW in a very accessible manner, but with enough accuracy and fidelity that you get a sense of what tactics actually worked. Sort of like a real-time, 19th century Unity of Command

If we talk about it in the thread it's groggy enough I think, so stick ultimate general up.

I nominate flash point campaigns, decisive campaigns, armoured brigade, a section about witp mods, RTW1 needs mentioning despite 2 being so close, FOG series including pike & Shot and empires, shadow empires maybe?

Wouldn't mind that shiny new thread feel. Maybe add links to the various grog LP's (past and present) to the OP?

That's a good idea. I'll need to hunt down the ones that are not mine.....

Also thread title. Brain engage!

Also we need an explicit grog discord for general chat and pbem arranging, currently it's a bit split between Grey's and Saros' LP discords.

You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
But most of all, you cheated BABA

Party In My Diapee posted:

Pike and shot is my favorite wargame for some reason. Simple to play, but you have to grasp tactical maneuvering to win.

Talk to me about being an idiot and in the second tutorial goes "oh I should just march my troops forward that should work" and I marched my dudes right up the path of the main cannons and they got slaughtered, good job me

Anyways for OP chat: mention Unity of Command! It's a good baby's first wargame imho

I love Aurora 4x though it's more a spiritually grog game than the typical example since, you know, not historical. But it does have the requisite tedium, crap UI, and ancient code...and it surpasses nearly all others in terms of lack of graphics. None of your fancy-pants "chits" and "terrain maps" here you spoiled kids! You'll get a blue screen with colored dots and LIKE it! :corsair:

Cold Waters doesn’t get that much constant discussion and so far Wolfpack has only come up a few times.

If things tick up significantly with Uboat’s release we can probably consider a separate thread but right now I think it’s fine.
