Welcome to the world of "I need to print an insert for every game I own".

Also - glow in the dark filament is seriously cool and works way better than you think it will.

I don't think its either of those. My old man brain thinks the tanks were large (1" or more) counters with a smaller one on top. Its doesn't appear to be BTA nor P:NA - this is what I get for watching youtube late at night ;)

Do wargame rulebooks count somewhere? Non-fiction? They should totally count. Some are arduously long.

The 4thPz (pink) has just killed it in the north and is pushing hard the first turn (though they have no more chances to activate in turn 1). The Russians got reinforcements and pulled back in the middle and is using the rivers and the reinforcements to make all those attacks coming suck.

I missed my play of Stalingrad Advance to the Volga, 1942 !

Think that's a B tier. Good solo game, but didn't set itself apart enough that I was excited about it.

One of my few complaints with RDR - the rules were not standard. Having played enough COIN, it would have been a lot faster to figure out the differences if the rules had been like ALL THE OTHERS.

I still don't know how to feel about Downfall. It was interesting but 10x longer than I wanted. Even just playing the shortest scenario, it is a LONG game. I'll play a long game, but at some point we just thought - are we even doing anything?

Fair. I think I liked the changes added with the population and the way the Church worked so differently.

* Labyrinth: The Awakening mostly felt like and alternate set of cards, which was fine, but the beauty of CDGs like Laby and TS is KNOWING the card set.
* South Pacific was so we could learn the EotS system, so mission complete. That said, the short scenario felt TOO limited in scope of what to do

* Liberty or Death (played 2-player, reinforcing what I don't like about 2-player COIN).
* Fighting Formations was Combat Commander-esq with an interesting action mechanism, but felt long for what it was - I'd rather play CC:E by a large margin

The call it AI so you are ok with it instead of what it really is: spam to their customer lists

I feel like a bunch of new innuendoes are about to make their debut

Tag Team and Toy Battle are actually great games AND short (ie good for the lack of attention span a 13 year old has).

Some of them already piled up
