5 out of 5 stars Simply the best Table Top Minature Game Out There   August 26, 2008
Gisli Jokull Gislason (Iceland)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful

Brilliantly simple concept and realistic at the same time.

The game is very well developed and the system works very well without having complex tables to look up. After a while and you can play the game without having to look up a single thing.

Great for historical context as well, armchair generals will gain a new understanding of military units and hardware. The game is well researched in this area and the battle books and internet support will bring you off the beaten path for World War 2. They even have armies for Finland, Hungary and Romanina. As a Military History enthusiast I find that this game and my interests compliment each other very well.

This book contains the core rules and missions, good for any time period (the game itself is split between Early War 1939-1941, Mid War 1942-1943 and Late War 1944 - 1945). But to play you will need an Army Book and a miniature army, a playing surface and an opponent.

After my introduction to this game I haven't played another minature game and even sold off my armies from other systems.
