Review on Avault
4/5 - The interface is easy to use, the way the it has been streamlined makes it possible to play a few turns before walking the dog, the PBEM is absolutely seamless the best Ive EVER seen and Swords & Scimitars adds even more to a game that already has an impressive amount of content, with more expansions on the way.

Review on Warfare and Wargaming
All in all, the Swords and Scimitars expansion module for FOG was a lot of broad sword swinging fun, easy to play and fast, realistic and hardware friendly to boot.
