GameZebo: The Duke of Wellington was a great general, but he wasn’t distracted by the need to look after Britain’s Industrial output or cultural heritage. His King, George III, had some qualities as a monarch, but didn’t have to busy himself with the precise disposition of the brigades in his peninsular armies. To succeed in March of the Eagles, you’ll have to do all this and more by yourself.
Hardcore Gamer: The Indie Royale Alaska bundle gives you six games (five known presently) for around $6. That $6 gets you a super-hard platformer in Electronic Super Joy, and a ton of strategy and tactical gaming in the form of March of the Eagles, Rigonauts, Sengoku - Way of the Warrior, and 99 Spirits.

We’re constantly lead to believe by video games that war is a non-stop thrill-o-rama, with explosions, manly fistfights and slow-motion bits where you shoot a man through the nostrils whilst rappelling through a window. Few games explore the other side of warfare, the admin, the long hours of boredom and the tedious business of making sure your soldiers have all the important bits they need, like food and bullets.
If you played Crusader Kings II and thought, “I just want to go to war with everyone!” Well then March of the Eagles could be for you!
