Forge of Wars: Tactics is designed to be a fast paced game of miniature-style infantry combat. I’ve played games for years and I’ve always wanted a way to play quick and dirty battles. Yes I love involved systems with rules for everything from morale to whether or not it is easier to slip on wet concrete or dry ice. But sometimes I just want to roll dice and watch things die. Virtually of course. Forge of Wars: Tactics is my answer to that wish.
History is the roadmap we all must study if we are to find a better route to where we wish to go. Roads are built by improving the landscape they are on, and so one must understand the faults of the landscape. Our nation is good and strong. But we have our faults. And so the roadmap of our future must deal with those faults or it will split wide open at the fault lines. We have done this in the past. I do not intend to see us do so again.
My parents played music all the time when I was growing up. I don’t think the speakers in our home were ever silent. We listened to a lot of the classics of course. Elvis. Cash. Sinatra. Add in rock and roll and old-fashioned country rock and that was the soundtrack of my life. I was Born in the U.S.A., I wished Billie Jean was My Girl, and Johnny B. Goode was my role model. My parents loved the oldies and I caught the bug from them. Ain’t no music like old music.
The introduction of truly portable computer systems, what was once known as the “tablet” before modern three-dimensional interfaces, made the fourth generation virtual worlds a final possibility. The tablets revolutionized society in a matter of years. Everyone carried a computer that could access the network on their person. Anyone could enter a virtual world at any time, wherever they were. The virtual and the physical worlds began to reflect each other.
People ask me why I am so obsessed with the past. The answer is that I intend to learn from it. I do not wish to make the same mistakes our ancestors did. I wish to build a better future than they did. And more than wishing, I plan to do exactly that. But as the old saw goes, if one does not learn from history one is doomed to repeat it. I do not intend to repeat it. And so I make plans.
