"Wargame of the Year 2013 - results

Hi,

Here's the result of War-Historical's Wargame of the Year 2013 election :

It will come as no surprise to anyone following this thread that it was a two-horse race all along, and what a race it was.

But as with any race there can be only 1 winner, so earning the Gold medal :

#1 - Command : Modern Air/Naval Operations - 101 points

This means that the very honourable second spot and the Silver goes to :

#2 - Flashpoint Campaigns : Red Storm - 86 points

As an indication of how the times change, for the first time ever a non-pc wargame made it to the medals - the Bronze goes to

#3 - Sid Meier's Ace Patrol (iPad) : 14 points

Congrats to the winners, they will get a mail / forum post from me with the unique badge designed by Daniel Lamb.

The rest of the Top 10 :

# 4 - Civil War II - 10 points
# 5 - World in Flames - 9 points
# 6 - Crusader Kings II - The Old Gods - 7 points
# 7 - Scourge of War - Brandy Station - 6 points
# 8 - Drive on Moscow (iPad) - 5 points
# 9 - Combat Mission Battle for Normandy - Market Garden - 4 points

I play tested Brandy Station and I'm testing for the newest "Waterloo" Scourge of War"

Steve, let us know about how things progress and look to the extent you can.

I just picked up Chancellorsville during the Matrix sale. Now finding some time to learn and play it...

Play the tutorials first, they are excellent and teach you how to handle the different sized formations, Brigade and Division tutorials are really good for getting the feel of the game.
