2) More importantly i think, the results of a unit V unit combat seem totally unpredictable and random, I have played ancients including FOG for over 30 years but the computer game is either a) just randomly deciding who wins each fight by a massive margin, or (more likely) b) completely failing to involve you in the process so it feels random.

Strange. Soldiers in real combat report the same thing. grin

AI is not great and you can "game" the AI. It is great for learning the game. After that, if you play it too much, you have to "unlearn" tactics or you will get mashed against a real opponent.

Field of Glory Digital

I just posted a review on Armchair General of Slitherine's computer version of Field of Glory. My favorite quote from the review:

A quick battle before breakfast? A few turns of Pharsalus before taking the dog out for a walk? FoG is that kind of game.
