Sticks and Stones


''I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.' -Albert Einstein

Seven days after a limited nuclear exchange has irradiated most of Russia and the United States, Soviets roll across the West German border, eager to claim precious non-irradiated ground for the Politburo. American armor stationed at the border rushes forward to meet them, and World War IV begins, fought with much more than Einstein's sticks and stones.

WinterThunder


In late 1944, in the wake of the allied forces' successful D-Day invasion, it seemed as if WWII was all but over. On December 16, with the onset of winter, the German army launched a surprise counteroffensive through the densely forested Ardennes that was intended to cut through the Allied forces in a manner that would, the Germans hoped, turn the tide of the war in their favor. You can call it Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein ("Operation Watch on the Rhine"), Bataille des Ardennes ("Battle of the Ardennes"), or the Ardennes Counteroffensive, but it is best known today as the "Battle of the Bulge".

Krim


Field Marshall Von Manstein:     " It is one of the few cases where an army was still able to operate independently in a segregated theatre of war, left to its own devices and free of interference from the Supreme Command. If was a campaign which, in few months of incessant figthing, included both offensive and defensive battles, mobile warfare with full freedom of action, a headlong pursuit operation, landings by an enemy in control of the sea and an assault on a powerfully defended fortress "

About Us.


The best team in the world.

When I was winding down my Computer Consulting business I needed something to do that would keep me in the programmimng aspect of it. My First Wargame had been Guadalcanal by Avalon Hill and I decided to create a computer version of that. I had played the game using Aide de Camp 2 and got permission to use graphics created for Guadalcanal. I was familiar with Microsoft .Net and used that to create the game. As the game progressed I tried to get permision for licensing but this proved to be futile.

I then created a new game called Tropical Nightmare with my own graphics and rules. It was loosely based on Guadalacanal. I chose the Unity Platform to develop the game. Unfortunatly the game suffered from scope creep and continued to get bigger and bigger. I also found the Unity platform not to my liking. Its a black box and parts of it were hard to figure out how it worked.

I had bought a PNP version of WinterThunder from Tiny Battle publications and contacted Mark Walker to see if I could do the computer version. He said go ahead and provided support when I needed it. the program is written in Java and uses the Libgdx game platform. WinterThunder should be published this year

While working on WinterThunder I came in contact with Lance from YOBOWARGAMES. He gave me quite a bit of advice and asked if I wanted to collaborate on a game. The result is Krim.
