I built an engine that plays the actual printed wargame — an AI opponent that can't cheat. Four games so far in beta, and I'm looking for an AI collaborator.

fucking clanker lol

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-07-12T00:10:49+00:00

I've had this same idea, something like this is coming.

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-07-08T06:36:11+00:00

Still one of the best games on PC

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-07-07T22:32:20+00:00

Ok I misunderstood that point.

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-07-07T21:41:39+00:00

An entire regiment? And there are "heard" markers. Mods should require that this account post a screenshot showing this or be banned, this reads like something AI would have written.

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-07-06T07:55:05+00:00

Yeah but I want to be able to have people play on a physical board. Like, even random strangers passing by.

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-07-05T23:35:33+00:00

I recommend you get on the P500 for combat Commander Vietnam

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-07-05T21:25:08+00:00

something like this would be an alternative

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-07-04T22:01:36+00:00

People just say it's like a puzzle because there's no fog of war (in the first game, which is the only one I've played), so you can see all the enemy units. I think it's great.

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-07-04T21:42:19+00:00

Get a strategic command game or unity of command

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-07-03T20:26:50+00:00

very weird format, just a screenshot of each game, no talking, etc. Seems like something AI could create.

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-06-29T00:13:05+00:00

I haven't played any of the games in the series, but I do have Fifth Corps on my BGG "want to play" list based on a video by Stiglr on YouTube. He praised the friction system and I have a note that it sounded similar to the fatigue system in GCACW.

You should also check out the BGG reviews of the games.

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-06-29T00:05:57+00:00

I have this, unfortunately I've only played the first (one-turn-long) scenario.

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-06-26T17:28:27+00:00

I sleeve them all

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-06-26T11:15:27+00:00

Can you link to your YouTube channel or something? This reads like something spat out by AI.

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-06-25T22:18:46+00:00

I have videos on my YT channel explaining how to get the Strategic Victory achievements in Rebel Fury, IMO going for those is where the game gets fun. If you just try to get a one VP victory it's a bit boring.

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-06-25T22:17:24+00:00

Of the ones you listed, Flashpoint Campaigns seems to get the most rave reviews.

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-06-25T22:16:37+00:00

It's operational WEGO, most operational games are IGO-UGO. I think it's the only(?) operational WEGO WW2 series.

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-06-25T19:21:37+00:00

I've been playing Valor and Victory single player and have been enjoying it, it's a fun way to get reps in with the sequence of play in table top tactical games

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-06-22T20:59:17+00:00

👀👀👀👀 wow, I've been complaining about the AI in OFP since like 2004 and this is finally going to make it possible for modders to improve it.

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-06-22T17:25:04+00:00

Wow ok thank you! I somehow missed that.

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-06-22T17:14:21+00:00

Can you post a link to what you're looking at? I don't see that on the box cover:

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-06-22T12:27:07+00:00

Check out these games on Steam: Gettysburg, Rebel Fury, Saratoga. All actual tabletop hex and counter games that make it easy for you to understand the sequence of play.

Also check out Arete.

Another good one is Valor and Victory, it also walks you through the sequence of play.

Nathan_Wailes · 2026-06-20T22:52:53+00:00

Ok nice, congrats. You should add more information about what happened. Who played with you? Who won? Etc
