Well my first hex and counter war game in many a year.Enjoyed it! This really was a training game for me, playing the rules through using tactics I felt suited the situation but you can't really appreciate the value of good set up tactics until you have seen and felt the effects of the Combat Tables. Got a lot of 'my mates' hit due to poor turn timing and the power of off board Art was at times shattering; not good being stuck on that river.

This was a solo game but with my focus on the Axis side. Difficult to cross that river and expensive but once across moved OK, just ran out of time. A minor victory. Very few river hexes that can't be seen by some Allied Leader. Lay down as much f/power as possible move under its cover, trick is the set up and Leadership spacing; having the right leader in right place OR with the right bit of kit.

Loved the way the rules flowed, this Game is one to savour rather than expect to finish in a couple of hours. Just got to keep the table safe from the wife & kids. Will play this again. Rated 3 because it was my 1st game and this will be my bench mark.
