  Napoleon's Russian Campaign : Computer games : Napoleonic Wars : wargames
A year ago I thought all was lost to Napoleonic wargamers who love to hop on the computer and test themselves on the screen of battle.
This not only gives newcomers to computer wargaming a feel of immediacy of action, but will tell old boardgamers that Tiller has come up with a game engine that we had all been praying for.
Basically it is as if he has told the computer to put together a great series of battles, avoid what gamers hated - such as ridiculously strict and ultra realistic limitations - and worked out a fine balance between regulated play and real-life likelihoods.

Board wargamers, channeling their mania to the cause of good, design variants and expansion sets.

 PC VIDEO GAME REVIEWS... Europa Universalis II __________|
Europa Universalis II looks just about identical to the original game, which is unsurprising given the short development cycle of the title.
Europa Universalis II is definitely one of those titles that you can pick up quickly, but that will resist mastery for a very long time.
Europa Universalis II is a lot like Europa Universalis; some may say that it is too similar, much like X-COM: Terror From the Deep was an only slightly-altered version of X-COM: UFO Defense.

 Appendices - The Paper Wargame Publishers
Avalon Hill was the original publisher of wargames and they never published that many, preferring instead to promote energetically the sales of the small number of games they had published.
Avalon Hill, because of their origins in the earliest days of wargames publishing, is practically the only company that manufactures games with stiff, mounted map boards.
The Europa series was begun by GDW in the 1970s and the rights were bought by GRD in the late 1980s.

The Europa Series established basic parameters (which included division-level units, two-week turns, and sixteen mile hexes) for a series of games covering the entire theater of war, and then defined campaigns within the theater.

 Strategy Gaming Online - Previews: Europa Universalis
With this clearly in mind, Europa Universalis is inarguably the most historically realistic grand strategy game I've ever seen.
Declarations of War, the perennial favorite activities of armchair generals, not only negatively influence this rating with the victim and its allies, but unless you have a good reason (a Casus Belli, as the game frequently uses the language of diplomacy), will also affect your own Stability.
With a tool like Europa Universalis, it's possible that not only could students learn a lot about a (generally) little-known time period, but it just may awaken a lifelong love of learning.

This set of rules is based on the Europa series of games by GRD and while it uses the OBs, counters, and maps from those games, it has many differences.

Supply, naval, and political rules while extensive, are usually not needed for scenarios and shorter games and are included for the purpose of linking the individual games into a cohesive whole.

The most egregious error in this regard concerns the air system, which is essentially the Europa air system (the most complex operational air system I know of), retrofitted for World War I. But air power simply was not as powerful or as prevalent as to require such a detailed system.
The major addition to the basic Europa framework is the addition of a reaction phase between movement and combat (headquarters are added and actually have something to do; leaders are also added, but they aren't very exciting).
Thus unlike your standard strategic level wargame where you might capture an entire country by moving one counter to one hex, here you can get much more of the ebb and flo of warfare, and yet see how it works out on a strategic scale.

 Wargames Board - New sereis!
The first commercial wargame to portray the Eastern Front at the divisional level, DNO was a huge game, in fact it was the first of the so-called "monster" games.
But DNO was more than just a big game, it was part of an ambitious series of games called EUROPA intended to cover all World War II at the operational level with inter-locking maps and extensive OBs.
Impressive though the EUROPA series was, they were difficult and time-consuming to play, and in the case of DNO (later re-made as FIRE IN THE EAST) almost impossible to find enough room to set up (I used our ping pong table and it barely fit).
