One upcoming strategy game a day: Victory Banner drops you on the Eastern Front in 1941. Command your company from the RTS view, then take direct control of any soldier or tank, T-34s included. Free demo out now.

In Company of Heroes 2, retreat at the wrong moment and your own side shoots your men. In Russia, scenes like that got it pulled from shops.
Order 227 was real. A historian told Polygon such shootings were "not necessarily common". Here they're a rule.

One upcoming strategy game a day:

Kursk, Caen or Korea: which first?

In Dawn of Man, I think the best part is the slow climb: one tribe, Stone Age to Iron Age, over 10,000 years. Few strategy games start this early.
The catch: the late game gets repetitive.
50% off on Steam, A$18.25 until 27 Oct, 4 AM AEDT.

One upcoming strategy game a day:
Dominus Gladiatus: run a gladiator school in ancient Rome. Buy men at the slave market, train them, then face five rival schools in a 160-day tournament. Out 5 Nov.

In Northgard, I think winter is a harder enemy than the other clans. Each new region costs more food, and the snow cuts your harvest.
If you like Age of Empires, try it. Not strict history: draugr and giants too.
72% off on Steam, A$14.26 until 2 Nov.

One upcoming strategy game a day:
County of Fortune: build a whole medieval county, not one town. Rivers and terrain decide where trade flows. Early Access 5 Nov.
One rich heartland or a patchwork of rivals?

Attila the Hun wasn't killed in battle. He choked on a nosebleed on his wedding night.
Total War: Attila makes him hard to kill. Players say you must beat him in battle more than once before he stays dead. One wedding night did it faster.

One upcoming strategy game a day:
Sekigahara, 1600 Japan, from the GMT Games board game. No dice: to fight with a clan, you play its card. Stretch loyalty too thin and your own troops switch sides mid-battle. Q1 2027.

Victoria 3 turns four this Sunday, 25 October. I think it is a better game now than at launch.
Free updates added treaties in 2025 and rebuilt the navy in 2026. The catch: you don't control battles. You send generals to a front and wait.

#OnWarStalingrad: command whole divisions on the road to Stalingrad. Push too far and your supply lines stretch thin.

One upcoming strategy game a day:

In July 1944, 57,000 German prisoners walked through Moscow. Behind them came trucks washing the streets.
Most were taken in Operation Bagration. Steel Division 2 lets you play the German side. Best way to feel how fast Army Group Centre fell, I think.

You're Dong Zhuo. The warlords of the east have raised armies against you. Do you burn your own capital?
In 190 he did, and sent the boy emperor west to Chang'an. The coalition never caught him. I think his real danger was Lü Bu, in his own camp.

“By concord small things grow, by discord the greatest fall apart.” Sallust
Individual AI was necessary to make the whole thing work. The commander is not always in control, it’s not only about routing.
-Next to morale, unit has cohesion with its own squad
-Too much spread, a critical hit and other events can turn your warrior unresponsive
-In the clip the spacing got too loose, morale is fine, so they simply walk back toward the banner
-Restore formation order calls everyone back in line restoring cohesion back

This Sunday, 25 October, is 611 years since Agincourt.
A wet ploughed field between two woods. French knights sank in the mud as English archers shot from behind stakes. In Medieval II it is an easy battle. I think the ground did half the work.

In Old World every turn is one year. Your ruler ages, marries and dies.
I prefer this to Civ's leaders who never die. You plan for your heir, not just the next war. Catch: a fixed number of orders per turn, so you can't do everything.
90% off on Steam until 22 Oct.

#Espiocracy: pick one of 74 countries and run its Cold War spy agency. Plant agents, spread propaganda, stage coups. Planned for 2027.
