Chess but with Tanks

Indie developers Urban Squall came out with the first of the Battalion java games several years ago.  Since then, each new addition to this turn-based military strategy game has been an improvement over the last.  There's even the Battalion: Arena, where players can challenge the AI, one another, or conduct team battles on custom maps.  All of the Battalion chapters are hosted and available for free play at Kongregate.com

I'd recommend starting with Nemesis and working your way up.  But listen; don't start playing these damn games unless you have at least a week of obsessive gaming time to devote to them.  Because that's what'll happen.

  1. To what do we owe this welcome flurry of blogging lately?

  2. Several reasons, one of which was this:

    "In fact, I challenge all my friends to renew their blogs, or even start blogs, and make them full of insight and valuable messages that bring us all closer to understanding the world around us. Do it now. I’m not too busy to read them."

    I figured I'd focus on renewing and getting into the habbit of regular posting first, and focus on insight and relevance later.
