FOR KARL!

CAPE

Great game with lots of replayability for achievements. Nothing is as rewarding as getting revenge on Hannibal's veterans.

This game's story gets better with every episode release. One of the best survival games without the story, one of the best single player stories in recent memory, and it all combines to be a must-play.

Solid variation in playstyles and champions. Amazingly well balanced. Great Devs.

CoD: WWII Falls short of being anything other than a cycle of respawn, kill, die.

Motorsport Manager is an amazing game in terms of what it does. With a low level of complexity to the user, MM still stays very deep in terms of gameplay, creating a game that is easy to learn, but hard to master.

Playing as Italy, after conquering Europe with my German allies and invading Great Britain, I landed troops in the USA, as well as 12 paratroop divisions in South America to support my Brazilian allies(Facist via a coup I supported.) In South America we managed to conquer Chile and Argentina, but ran into a deadlock along the coastline, 1 province wide as Bolivia was left neutral in the war. I took my 12 paratroopers and dropped them behind enemy lines, and then used transport planes to deliver supplies to my troops while the 50+division Allied force starved. After a failed breakout attempt through the mountains, easily held by Italy's finest soldiers, the Allies were left with surrender as the only option.

In North America I landed in eastern Canada and then supported my marines with standard infantry divisions. Failing to break through to the major US cities, my troops were left to setup static defences and wait for some event to change the tide of war. With Italy being the first world power to develop nukes, and building many reactors to produce nukes all over Europe, the Eastern Coast of the US was hit with a synchronized barrage of 7 nukes, hitting every major city including Washington, Boston and Philadelphia.

Still unwilling to surrender, I built up my captured ports and infrastructure to support my incoming tank divisions, using new modern armour. Six divisions were able smash through the US lines and destroy over 50 divisions, severely hampering the Allied ability to wage war. After more nukes, more tanks and another encirclement of around 30 US divisions the men were able to capture Boston and Philadelphia. Not wanting the Capitol destroyed and with abysmal public support the United States of America capitulated to Mussolini and his Italian forces. The Italians pushed on into Canada and Mexico, while in the east 24 Italian divisions landed in Australia. The Allies crumbled and were forced to sue for peace.

The final tally left 8 nations not aligned to the Axis, of which five were minor powers in the Allies who were never conquered, mainly located in Central America. The Italian nation was more powerful than any other, glory was restored and Mare Nostrum was brought into reality.
