A is for Antediluvian art. Go to iEntertainment for your WarBirds 2020 information and you're sure to come away unimpressed. The pics on show here suggest this imminent MMO sequel is going to stick out like a Sopwith Camel in a sky full of Spitfires and Bf 109s when it appears this autumn. Confusingly, cockpit images recently tweeted by resurrected developer MicroProse give a very different impression.
Feature: Teeming with Creoteam and Graviteam teamtalk
Compiled on Ukraine's Constitution Day, this FP only covers games made in the world's 46th largest country. Beyond the break, I conclude my Football, Tactics & Glory coverage with some excerpts from a conversation I've been having with Creoteam supremo, Andrey Kostyushko, talk about the latest and strangest Graviteam Tactics: Mius-Front add-on, and point out that 4th Best Game Ever to Emerge From Ukraine is a…

Growing up sucks. Thank goodness there are occasional distractions like this compendium of word and picture puzzles. In the dappled glade beyond the…
Feature: Sim and wargaming news
Nice try Shambler Soft. No doubt you thought naming your new Boer War wargame 'Aasvogels Overhead' would guarantee you the top spot in this week's alphabetised news round-up. You hadn't banked on Happy Hermit christening their new F-111 flight sim 'Aardvark Attack' yesterday morning.

The Flare Path: Things You Need To Know About Graviteam Tactics: Mius Front
...ahead of its release tomorrow. 1. It will ship with major realism flaws. Having spent a couple of days with the latest build of this painfully overdue Operation Star sequel, I'm now in a position to say with certainty that the Ukrainian devs have made no effort whatsoever to model incidental lubrication. Route a Tiger tank through a field of sunflowers and the Panzerkampfwagen VI…
