I played East Front years ago, and I remember offensive operations as being possible but tricky.  Can't give any advice on West Front.

:showoff: Landed two more of the Winter Storm series (Prelude to Disaster and Edelweiss). Already had The Last Victory. Only one left is the first one Winter Storm.

Do they smell like 1980?  :D

Dont they all... :P I love the counter art of the series.

I got The Western Front by SPW. No SS counters. :(

I have not invested any time in that series. Looks smashing though.

On another topic. I have always hated printed movement points on counters. Wasted space IMO.

Playing Legion of Honor this coming Saturday.  :frog:
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.

Solo?  Using Mistress rules? Is Berkut your sworn enemy?

Multiplayer, looking like 5 players at this point.  Not using the Mistress stuff--just doing the short (3 hour), Republic scenario to get everyone's feet wet.

A game where a counter moves every 45 minutes.  :P The Air War of tactical ground games.

Been playing Imperial Assault these holidays. It's easily my favorite implementation of the Descent engine yet. It streamlines and changes up a few things, resulting in more agile and reactive gameplay. The out-of-the-box campaign isn't the most creative they have put out, but the game is really fun to play if you like the Descent games. Plus it's STAR WARS.

At least you get plenty of reading done between moves.  :lol:

I was doing some proofreading for MMP's online living rules project for the first few sections, but I had to stop.  It was melting my brain.  Gack.

Man, MMP is kicking the VCS into overdrive. Salerno made the cut and two others are rolling along. Based on the old Victory in the West system going all the way back to Balkoski's SPI monster, Operation Typhoon. Last installment of this system was The Killing Ground and Iron Tide.
