Yes, I spooged all over it.

That seems like it would make playing it difficult. :unsure:

Preordered that immediately.

I was so excited about that I preordered Bayonets and Tomahawks at the same time (and Holland '44 for other reasons).
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen, and keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again; but don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin, and there's no telling who that it's naming. For the loser now will be later to win, cause the times they are a-changin'. -- B Dylan

Honestly, it is one of those "Duh" headslappers.  Unlike some of these COIN shoehorns, it's just such an obvious Superpower topic to port over.

Some would say that Market-Garden titles have reached a saturation point the last couple years, but every subject has room for a Simonitch design.

Glad to see Sekigahara getting reprinted this fall.  I won't miss it a third time.

It would appear Kitty has taken an effective blocking position. :showoff:

By the way, 11B, check out this thread over at BoardGameAssburgers:

Kursk gets hipstered, is overrated

That is a horribly written summation on Kursk. Fuck sake. As usual, narrow sighted German fanbois make their summation based on 5-16 July. Morons.

The guy mentioning Clark's lame book is an idiot.

I ought to beat him with Chris Lawrence's book. Fucking twat.

I like It Never Snows, but winning with the Allies seems impossible.  :bowler:

Simonitch's designs are rock solid: France '40, Ukraine '43 and Ardennes & Normandy '44 are all highly enjoyable. Recommended to all wargamers.

Nope.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Based on AARs, it's basically crazily a-historical.  Austrians at the gates of Moscow level.

Others have reported similar stupidity.  It might be a good game--of that, I have no idea--but it certainly isn't WW I enough for me.
