Wargame Design Studio
Jul 01 2025
Wargame Design Studio makes computer (Windows) wargames but they don't sell on Steam. Mentioned in Dispatches like them (or at least one guy loves them). Not flashy but good computer wargames.
They have some $0 smaller games and demos (though I guess the demos are cut down games that you can play fully rather than full games that you can only play for an hour or a set number of turns) which you can download and see if you like their UI and gameplay.
Four interesting games:
Grenada (Squad Battles) - US intervention in Grenada, 1983. 11 battles and six maps. Not sure if the scale is individual soldiers or squads. Grenada is quite unusual since the US was overwhelming which makes for a less exciting wargame.
Little Big Horn (Early American Wars) - US 7th Cavalry vs a lot of American Indians. Five scenarios and one map. I guess individual to squad level scale.
Modern Air Power Demo - US vs North Korea set today. The previous two were hex-based games but this one is a natural map — no hexes or areas or points and I guess more like playing miniatures. 29 scenarios.
Spanish-American War (Naval Campaigns) - Another game with a natural map since this is a naval game. 20 scenarios.
