History of the World

BOARD GAME REVIEW posted on 8 JUL 2001 by Mark G. McLaughlin

Six hundred toy soldiers. That is what the buyer will find in Hasbro-Avalon Hill's newest version of the classic History of the World boardgame. For those who have never played any previous versions of the game before, this will be a wonderful treat. People who have older versions of the game will find the Hasbro-Avalon Hill product to be a cleaner, smoother, more fluid game that, while not necessarily better than the previous version, is definitely an enjoyable and valuable variant that breathes new life and new strategies into a much-played favorite.

Europa Universalis

PC GAME REVIEW posted on 30 MAR 2001 by Jim Robinette

Europa Universalis is a strategy game covering world-wide grand strategy from 1492, the year of Columbus's discovery of the New World, until 1792, the year of the French Revolution. Gameplay happens in real time, although players may give orders and view the situation while in paused mode. The player represents an unnamed power behind the head of state of one of the great world powers, such as France, England, Russia, and Austria. Lesser powers are also portrayed, as are natives (a.k.a., indigenous, or aboriginal peoples, if you will).

AFTER ACTION REVIEW posted on 16 MAY 1999 by Mark Sterner

The following is a condensation of my comments originally posted on CG Online concerning my campaign as the French in a game of Imperialism II (ver. 1.02). People expressed much interest in the progress of the campaign as I was reporting, and they asked me to make my account available along with any saved game files that could be used to demonstrate how one of the (likely many) winning strategies for this superb title unfolded. The slightly edited comments below comprise what I posted on-line only. I hope you all find this account worthwhile.
