Welcome David. Always glad to see more table top folks. As for your about to be published game, can you share a title or any details? I understand if you can't but I'm always looking for new angles and you listed a few games as favorites that I have considered looking into (Quartermaster General being the top of the list).

And as mentioned above welcome to the madhouse :)

    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."  - Frank Herbert

Wes, as fortune would have, my new game was just officially announced by Lock N Load Publishing on this thread on Grogheads.

The game is called Platoon Command. As you can probably guess by the name, it's a skirmish-level game. However, the action is driven by a deck-building mechanic and area control. In the game you use cards to direct the movement of your platoon. Each of the cards corresponds to elements of the platoon, which are directly mapped to counters on a modular game board.

The game's campaign depicts the actions of rifle platoons within the 30th ID in Normandy during WW2, following in the footsteps of the 30th ID from D-Day to the Battle of Mortain.

Welcome, David. Your game looks great!

Thanks, Mirth - I'm very excited about it. It's been awesome to work with LnLP on it.

Sorry for the lag time on this response...I will have to check this out. You hit a lot of my bullet points with this one.

Glad to hear it, Wes. Let me know if you have any questions about the game. I'll be posting a design diary very soon.
