Very cool. The only one I ever had, and played, from the series was BAOR.

Having the whole series setup at once would be very cool.

PICS!  :knuppel2:

Here we go then:

Here's the grand plan for the Central Front series:




What they were able to produce were the maps #2 (North German Plain), #4 (BAOR), #6 (Fifth Corps), #8 (Hof Gap), and #10 (Donau Front). As seen here :smitten:



(Sorry about the picture quality, my camera battery was empty, and cell phone zoom does not really work here)

Now, all I need to do is to print out and prepare all the newly designed counters for the series, get a table suited for this, and, well, retire.

I just realised there's a Vassal module with the full setup for the five game series, too. Stretched to cover my two 23" HD monitors, the lowest zoom-out level is able to portray the whole saga.

If there's ever an excuse for getting a three-display system, this is it  O:-)

Or rather, a 2x3 display system? Maybe a 4K projector, and a large wall to display to, optimally? I so need to win big in state lottery before retiring.

I have the OGRE Reinforcements pack but haven't opened it yet. I figure everything will fit into the main box (hopefully, anyway).

Holy Testicle Tuesdays, Crossroads!

Could you ever finish such a thing?  I don't think hoping for retirement age would actually turn out as well, in getting it done, as you think!  :wow:

I got a wild hair so I grabbed my copy of NATO: The Next War in Europe out of storage. I figured I was missing many pieces - it has 390 counters - but I counted 389 counters. What are the chances the one missing piece is the major components of the 1st US Armored Division? (I'm being hypothetical, I haven't gotten that anal to check that deeply. Yet.)

Dudes, brothers, comrades, that kind of bonkers sh*t is why lawdy invented COMPUTERS.

Anyone up for Normandy "Feet Wet", just shout.  Two hundred and fifty turns, thousands of counters, and the computer keeps track of it all.  I'm yer huckleberry...

It's one of the monster scenarios in the above.  Each of the PzC games has a monster; that in Stalingrad is truly mad.

I get my kicks playing one of the Corps sized engagement on (tactical, platoons mostly) Campaign Series as a 3x3 team game, one division per player.

Quite a few platoons to start with, but usually I am soon crying out for more  :nerd:
