Для любителей портированных на компьютер варгеймов вскоре выйдет две интереснейшие игрушки (впрочем, графика там на любителя, но она никогда и не являлась главным преимуществом таких игр).
Pike and Shoot http://www.slitherine.com/games/pike_shot_pc
In the age of Pike and Shot, mighty struggles erupted across Europe for causes religious, political or dynastic. The Thirty Years War raged across Germany and beyond, leaving devastation in its wake, but saw the rise of great commanders such as Count Tilly, Wallenstein and King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, and rapid developments in battlefield tactics. Musketeers “gave fire” in a duel to the death, pikeman held stolidly against enemy assaults, and cavalry charged to glory or defeat. You can take command in the greatest historical battles of the war, fight stand-alone “what-if” scenarios, or design your own scenarios using the easy to use editor.
Additional expansions will allow you to explore the English Civil War and the 16th century Italian Wars.

Интересное примечание. В Pike and Shoot судя по всему игровое поле основано на квадратиках, с возможность ориентирования отряда как на сторону, так и на угол ячейки. А в WH40kA игровое поле основано на гексах.
Сам я к вахе и ренессансу отношусь довольно прохладно, но в такое грех не поиграть! |
