Wings for the Baron looks interesting. I wonder if anyone's VASSALized it yet.

VPG sent that game to me a while ago. I haven't tried it in a while and honestly too many things have been going on this year. I should get it to the table again soon and do a freakin' review of it, maybe a vid.

There were a lot of German WWII vets in the French Foreign Legion and other military forces, too. If I remember right there were several at Dien Bien Phu.

Rolf Steiner, among others

(FWIW, I have a copy of this, too - great read! :) )

Been curious about that one.  Haven't seen a vid of anyone doing it yet.

Was also wondering about The Chosin Few.  Little solitaire ziplock point-to-point game.  I do think someone made a vid review on it (Marco?) awhile back but don't recall the mechanics.

^ I have a copy of that one, too. I have it on my radar. I'm just needing to juggle a lot in my free time right now, but I've been away from boardgames for too long to this point.

If I could justify another boardgames purchase, I would be ordering Lancaster right now.

I try to limit my impulse purchasing to Tuesdays.  It's usually a needed reprieve from the week long horrors inflicted by Mondays.

With the end of semester crap you're dealing with, Bison, you should probably consider treating yourself to something! Besides a new dongle.  ;D

Yeah, like 'Dien Bien Phu' from legion Games :-)

^ You give that a spin yet, Bob?

[bob48]

Its on the table now whilst I go through the rules. As mentioned, I recommend that you use the latest ones from the link I gave.

Its got some very nice mechanics, and tonnes of flavour. I hope to have a bash at it later today.

Did you get your copy yet?

[BanzaiCat]

No, not yet, but I have plenty to keep me distracted until then. Looking forward to it.
