RE: Nations at War Series
I own all of the Nations at War series from LNLP, and like them a lot. Just ordered Stalin's Triumph and Airborne (printed and PDF versions) a couple days ago. I have to agree with the pint that its much lighter than PG, and lacks the same depth....but I also mirror the point that I too play NAW solitaire, and the chit draw system plays well in that format.
I really like the mounted map boards (on those products they come with), and are a little more 'lively' than PG; and I think the armor counters are more along the lines I prefer, when compared to PG. Though I prefer PG's counters for Infantry having actual Infantry on the counters (vs the NATO symbol on NAW)....I personally feel LNLP counters have a nicer look.
I've never played World at War, but ordered Eisenbach Gap Deluxe a couple days ago....we'll see!
I like PG and LNLP games equally, to be honest...but for different reasons. Company-wise, I like Avalanche Press worlds better than LNLP.
I like that LNLP has a VASSAL Mod for the game, as I am able to Gamemaster scenarios on my wargaming forum.....http://www.militarywargaming.com/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=172&sid=c4b9984483f932bdd59b4fe8b45b1dde
