Bolt Action PC First Look: How Slitherine is Reimagining the World’s Biggest WWII Tabletop Game

Slitherine and Frag Games are developing a digital adaptation of Warlord Games’ WWII tabletop miniatures game, Bolt Action, with a planned release in 2026. The game will faithfully recreate the “Six Orders” activation system, a suppression-based pinning system, and tactical armor facing. Key features include a comprehensive Army Painter for customization and a dynamic single-player campaign set in the Normandy theater. The game will maintain the original ruleset, including the tactical pillars of unit activation, the emphasis on suppression over health, vehicle positioning for damage, distinctions between direct and indirect fire, experience levels for squads, and extensive customization options for forces.

В торрентах с одним из самых популярных фильмов года рассылают опасный вирус

Recent reports indicate that torrent files for the film "Battle for Battle" are concealing a Trojan known as Agent Tesla, which can steal credentials, monitor computer activity, and take control of infected systems. The infection occurs when users download what appears to be the film file, which contains files like CD.lnk or Part2.subtitles.srt. Opening the first file executes a PowerShell script that interacts with the second file, leading to the installation of the Trojan. This malware can evade detection by Windows and antivirus programs by using harmless file types and PowerShell, complicating identification and mitigation efforts.
