Hadn’t heard of that. It’s about time someone made a game in MS Access.

No on Unity of Command, though we can be grateful for the Mac port I suppose.

The Carrier Battles dev (Cyril Jarnot) released Napoleon's Eagles which looks great if you like Napoleonics (both these are board game ports), and he's released No Retreat (another board game) on Mac/PC and it should come to iOS, and at THAT point there will be another WW2 hex game with depth.

So it goes for me too. Those VR Designs games are beloved but not by me so far. I'm lately trying WEGO World War 2, which run "natively" on Mac as they are Java. I set the Stalingrad one to AI vs AI so I could watch what it does.

The current groggy WW2 games I know of are Carrier Battles (good), Wars Across the World (weird, uses cards), and Drive on Moscow (all that remains of those Butterfield ones?). All others, including Hex of Steel, are light (e.g. single unit per hex).

Panzer Corps was recently delisted in a way that removes it from my purchase history. It was too lightweight for me anyway, one unit per hex and so on. Battle Academy disappeared before that, I think back at the 64-bit apocalypse?

The political and cultural ramifications seem catastrophic, obviously, but also it just... sucks. I don't want to feel immediate skepticism upon seeing something like a cat video.
