Ordered today

Decided I need to get me a Dean Essig game, thought this would be the perfect one to start. Reprints still available, so why not

I quite enjoy Essig designs, but I only have one OCS game. Set it up once, but I've yet to actually play it!

That looks like fun. Are there solitaire rules?

I've had my eye on that for awhile. Looks great.

I just might have to order the France 1940 box as well. The Blitzkrieg Legend, that is. Looks like a top, top dedign as well.

I've still to get into OCS, I have DAK2 which I hope to put on the table once I actually have one. ;D I've preordered the OCS magazine with Sicily II in it to help me ease into it.

I like the few SCS series games that I've played and very much enjoy Dean's CWBS/LoB civil war games. "Korea" is one that I've been thinking on for some time as well- does it have smaller (1-mapper) scenarios included?

Seems it does! From MMP's Korea product page:

OCS Korea: The Forgotten War has 15 scenarios broken down as follows:

5 1-map scenarios
4 2-map scenarios
6 3-map scenarios

That is true for most of my board gaming nowadays as well. Figuring out the rules, admiring the map and counter art, enjoying the scenarios as how the battles are chosen and OoBs presented, setting up, playing a solitaire of one or two turns. It is all good though.

I might one day try a Vassal module on some of the games I have.

Before that, I obviously still owe you my FPC turn!
