I was reading the designer notes (Ive had the pdf copy of the rules for awhile) and he considered Operation Frühlingserwachen first. Decided against it and I agree. The Konrad offensives were more dramatic.

As far as I can tell, most of my grandparents' stories come from the Konrad timeline, as they were caught by the middle of it, as civilians. (IIRC you can find the village of "Zamoly" on the map, which is were my mother comes from. It was more or less completely destroyed during this time, changing hands like a dozen times)

You and your Decision Games fetish.

You get the Dai Senso/Totaler Krieg reduxs?

[Ed Anger]

It is a Ty Bomba fetish.

And yes. They look nice(except for the freaky map with the extra fold in Dai). I might even get to play them next year.

Also got GMT's Battle of Normandy. 5 maps? I better see latrine battalions on the map.

Me likey NWS.

Awesome system.  Wait till the Battle of Sicily comes out.  Three player option, with the US and UK racing for points.  Patton versus Monty versus Bob Guccione.

Interesting story Tamas, thanks.

This is laziness of the designer.

[CountDeMoney]

Oh no, the nefarious white-on-black SS counters!

[Ed Anger]

Whoever picked the white on light blue color needs an asswhoopin'.

I'm really hoping that his scanner introduced a good bit of distortion to the countersheets, because otherwise, some of those are barely legible.
