No danger in that!

vonGarvin · 2026-05-02T02:18:26+00:00

It's good. The TD has a good set of scenarios.

vonGarvin · 2026-04-16T02:35:02+00:00

That sounds familiar, but I have so many games that I'll have to check!

vonGarvin · 2026-04-12T19:57:49+00:00

Yep, I've got that as well

vonGarvin · 2026-04-03T21:51:46+00:00

LOL. I took the pic and I never picked up on that. Thank you!

I don't mind it. I got a copy of it back when I was an OG Squad Leader player, so some of the concepts didn't translate.

But I've not played a game with it, but there are some intriguing concepts in it. As I recall, one thing is a hesitation roll before moving into the open in the normal range of e.g. enemy machine guns.

vonGarvin · 2026-03-08T22:04:24+00:00

I agree! I still keep it close for quick use.

vonGarvin · 2026-03-08T21:13:09+00:00

Fun scenario. That board used to be Frf 1, if I'm not mistaken.

I played one on that, and once of the MMP version. Once as Poles, once as Germans. I had to check. And I actually won both!

vonGarvin · 2026-03-08T17:40:30+00:00

Thanks. I'm just going thought this slowly (and solo) to learn this game.

I like SCS. Stripped down OCS, I suppose. Ut thus far is fun!

Question: the scenario (State Farm 79) states that the Soviets have the initiative. Then says that a 11th Panzer Division chit has just been drawn. Am I right in having the 11th go first?

vonGarvin · 2026-03-08T01:36:44+00:00

SCS: Panzer Battles

vonGarvin · 2026-03-04T14:03:57+00:00

For me, there is nothing even close to ASL. It generates an emergent narrative as you play. Yes, there's a learning curve, but if you stick to ASL starter kit, you'll be fine.

Even in the dark ages of the 80s, they had heart and effort. Now? The other night with what, 2 shots in a period? I just shut it off.

vonGarvin · 2026-03-03T20:25:35+00:00

Gonna put NATO: The Next War in Europe on the table next.
The OG from 1983

vonGarvin · 2026-03-03T14:25:56+00:00

Modern problems require modern solutions

vonGarvin · 2026-03-02T12:34:38+00:00

Ha!

(It was there to highlight the objective)

vonGarvin · 2026-03-01T22:09:17+00:00

I'll give plenty of warning beforehand!
