Heroclix Line of Fire Utility

I have always struggled to visualise line of fire during HeroClix games (my brain being geometricaly challenged). Since the line of fire rules are completely deterministic (straight line from center to center passes through squares in the line of fire), I thought my own shortcomings could be perfectly augmented by an application to calculate line of fire.

Cannonade.net Finalist in Google Speedgeeking Competition (2007)

The 6 finalists, chosen from hundreds of great Australian mashups, were all fantastic. The 6 sites deliver innovative and useful content to worldwide audiences. Some have commercial application, others are just great fun. Each mashup was displayed on a large screen, with attendees able to explore and interact with the site via a laptop."

Call of Duty

It would be easy to write this game off as "yet another ww2 shooter", but I think the Call of Duty series stands up as a ground breaking game in it's own right.

Combat Mission (CMBB and CMAK)

I never played the original Combat Mission Beyond Overlord, but it's successors "Barbarossa to Berlin" and "Afrika Corps" have been my primary source of gaming entertainment for about 2 years now. These games use a "we go" model for turn based combat, complex ballistics, armour and physics models, a huge database of OOB (Order of Battle) data and a respectable 3D graphics engine (that has managed to date reasonably well, despite the huge improvements in 3D graphics of late) to create an incredibly realistic simulation of small to medium sized tactical engagements during the second world war. Since playing these games I have read a number of books on combined arms, armoured vehicle and infantry tactics and found that many of the lessons learned in histories battlefields can be applied to the Combat Mission environment. A game that can capture atmosphere, urgency and tactical challenges in a turn based environment has five stars in my book, I will be playing this game for many years to come and am looking forward to seeing what Battlefront will do in the sequel.
