*resisting.. Starwarmada.. must.. *

I already spent over $100 on a pre-order with them this month.  My CSI budget wad is already shot.  Probably a good thing for me.

Wargame Vault is selling the solitaire game Red Menace for $4.99 for the next few days.

It's download and print-and-play, but that's a pretty cheap price for this game.

Do I see correctly? Red Menace has the Avro Arrow as a unit? Cool!

Yup.  O0

I grabbed both Red Menace and Operation Drumbeat. OD is a pretty simplistic but interesting solitaire game where you're a U-Boat captain off the East Coast of the U.S. from January to April 1942 (the "second good time"). I might start up a simple AAR if I can stop fiddling with the map graphics in Photoshop.

I think I'll start up an AAR, as I doubt it will take much effort. The game is pretty simple and is a 21-page PDF. One page is a navigation map, another is an info tracking sheet. The first four pages are full of background stuff. Two pages are sample sub logs. The point is, there's a lot of 'extra' content in there so it's not 21 pages of rules.

I might post something later today. BGG is bereft of images as well.

Need moar info on Red Menace.  I won't bother printing it but as it comes with a vassal module I might be interested.   ???
