After three years of meticulous preparation, the fighting can begin. For this part of the review, I’ve gone straight in with the ’1939′ starting option – trying out both Germany and Japan as they present very different starting positions.

Matrix Games has published an interview with Lukas Nijsten, game designer behind the Order of Battle series. He speaks at length of the upcoming expansion, Winter War, as well as the saga in general, and gives us a hint on what we can expect next.
“The Winter War turned out to be an ideal step toward the European theatre of WW2. Because the Chinese forces in Morning Sun use a lot of Soviet aircraft and vehicles from the 1930′s, a substantial number of required unit models were already available. In addition, it allowed us to create a small subset of German and Soviet WW2 units, as well as the new winter climate, as a stepping stone toward future Eastern and Western Front campaigns.”

Grand strategy games have always had two components: civilian and military. Although intertwined, one part usually dominants the other. Paradox Interactive’s fourth rendition of its World War II series, Hearts of Iron, may hay hit upon a way where each component is equal. To do this, the game is now very deep and comprehensive – so much so that each part, civilian and military, deserves its own review.
Here’s a sneak beak.

Some Battlefield 1 fans think there will be a pigeon mode in DICE’s World War 1 shooter.
Let’s be clear: there has been no official confirmation of a pigeon mode as yet. If there is one, DICE is keeping it firmly under flaps.
But take a look for a moment at the below video, originally published back in March. Specifically at the 1:50 minute mark, where… a Battlefield 1 pigeon mode is mentioned.
The video’s creator, AlmightyDaq, uses the video to divulge detailed Battlefield 1 information weeks before the game’s official announcement.
Included in the video are the game’s final name (well, either Battlefield 1 or Battlefield 1918, apparently), its World War 1 setting, details about its classes and early descriptions of its multiplayer maps.
