Thanks guys. Glad it's going over well. I like the idea of variable VP income, which Brian does with the civilians. You wouldn't believe what his civilian counters looked like.

Personally I don't like Brian McCue's double-blind system, but the rest of the mini-campaign is pretty good. The problem I have with his double-blind idea (as with Straus', Rains', Pope's before) is that it requires a referee. I don't know about your situations, but I have never found someone competent with a system who wanted to watch 2 other people play.

I did it once with a Squad Leader battle. Setup the maps in 2 rooms and I moved back and forth. It was pretty cool. The guy attacking was just looking at this empty board wondering where the defenders were.

Of course that was back when the 2 guys playing were in High School and lived with their parents. It would be harder to pull off now.

I did pick up a 2nd copy of Flat Top with the idea of doing it double blind but never got around to it.
