  • FREE Unity of Command: Stalingrad Campaign (fanatical) and Lifeless Hor

    One is an oldie but goodie (apparently, haven't played it myself) and
    the other is new and not as bad as the itch.io tag makes it look (also apparently).

    A lady walks into a bar and orders a double-entendre, so the bartender
    *gives it to her*.

    I skipped the former (because I grumpily don't want to link the Steam
    account) but grabbed the other, 'cause free.)

    Thanks MG
    (although you have earned my eternal enmity by scooping me on
    announcing these free games. You are now my nemesis ;-) ;-) ;-)

    I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky
    dirty old man.

    I've played UoC and although I like it, it does suffer what some
    wargames do when in single player mode. Scenarios can end up feeling
    like puzzles with their short turn limits. The AI can also be pretty
    brutal in exploiting supply lines to bring your advance to a halt.
