The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

You methodically direct armies across a historical map in deliberate, turn-based maneuvers.

What players say

Players praise the deep operational realism and historical authenticity, especially the focus on supply and maneuver, but consistently criticize the aging engine for long turn processing and lag. Some report bugs and AI cheating, while others call it the best Ageod game for the period.
