While on my way to purchase the new FoG II DLC, two games from Yobowargames are in the front page of Slitherine. There was very little talk about these games.

Interestingly, Slitherine/Matrix are barely mentioning the game themselves.  There was no announcement for it, they added some forums and the only topic is someone asking if it supports Windows 10.

In any case, this looks to me like an iOS port. ???
A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

Yobowargames is basically a one-man band who's been making hex-and-counter style wargames for a couple of years now. Mainly for iOS but he's ported them to PC too. I think his current claim to fame is that he's working on a port of Valor & Victory for PC and potentially mobile.

We've been keeping an eye on him so coverage is around if you want to go looking for it. Nice to see he's getting some support.
