Directing armies in battles can be such a chore—‘go here,’ ‘kill that’, ‘retreat there’—when sometimes I just want to see a big daft rumble. That’sTotally Accurate Battle Simulator, the game about building armies and just seeing what happens. It gets a touch silly, between the ragdoll physics and a roster of units which includes vikings, cavemen, Roman legionaries, pirates, wooly mammoths, tanks, dragons, skeletons, and angels. After a few years in early access, TABS has finally hit version 1.0, and has added multiplayer too.
