Birth of America

"The fact that developer AGEOD didn't spend months fashioning a tactical layer may well explain the unusually competent AI and the impressive build-quality of the scenarios. Whether you're playing one of the mammoth 100-turn American Revolution or French & Indian War scenarios or one of the dozen or so smaller alternatives (most of which break the AR down into regional chunks) you're going to encounter pleasingly plausible adversaries and cunningly stacked victory conditions."

"Birth of America's challenging artificial intelligence and historical authenticity will please grizzled wargamers, but it doesn't do quite enough to broaden the genre's appeal to newcomers."
