Rommel's War

[bob48]

Has anyone played this L2 Design game? It looks pretty good and has some decent reviews. I'm not sure if L2 are still trading, but there are a couple of copies available on BGG Store.

L2 hasn't updated their site in about 4 years :(

[bob48]

No, you're right. Its very annoying.

Read a little further down and you'll find that it was a CABG

Lembit's home and recovering, but it's a slow process

Thanks Brant - I must admit, I didn't see that. I looked at the game page on CSW but not the L2 one.

I'm pretty sure L2 shut down shop about 5 years ago.

WHAT?!!

I just had a nice email back from Lembit, and he does still have copies of this game, and others, in his warehouse - so it seems the info on the L2 site is still valid. Unfortunately, the cost of shipping will likely kill it for me.

If you do buy it, Slouch Hats and Eggshells from Legion (invasion of Lebanon) links into it.

I seem to remember someone mentioning that L2 have stopped developing anymore games but still sell their old ones. One of the guys from L2, Dana Lombardy, has set up his own studio and is developing Streets of Stalingrad 4

it's not so much that they voluntarily shut down.  Lembit's been in poor health, and anyone having heart surgery needs a bit of recovery time.

Yeah, I have been looking at that as I knew it shared the same basic system and could link with RW.

Compass games did a great job with their republish of L2's Bitter Woods, so I am looking forward to Russia Besieged.
