Wii n C&C
From dougo, a boardgamenews.com comparison of the Wii's philosophy with that of Richard Borg's Command & Colors board games. C&C is Borg's suite of light, approachable wargame mechanics that Memoir '44 uses, as well as the new (and terribly expensive) BattleLore. Basic argument: just as the Wii aims to win the hearts of "normal people" who want to play a fun video game but are turned off by 12-button, 3-stick controllers, so C&C brings the fun of tactical wargaming to people who aren't interested in the grognard lifestyle.
I'd love to see BattleLore sometime, but I don't think that I will until I buy my own copy. Like Memoir '44, it seems to be the sort of game that a lot of my local friends would love to play with me, so long as I'm the one willing to cough up the cash for it.
I do plan on picking up a Wii soon. I've actually got some agents looking for one for me today, but won't be sad if they don't find one. It'll come around in due time and I've got enough to do anyway.
