Is your game a...goer, eh? Nudge nudge, he asked him knowingly!

I finally found that picture I'd been looking for of the divisional-level Panzer Leader game from Origins.  It was 2009...

^If John Tiller did board games...

I won't be impressed until they do a re-creation of the Battle of Kursk via Squad Leader.

That's, what, four PL boxes on that table? I cried a little.

There's a couple hundred home-made counters to go w/ the home-printed river across the back, which the player on the left had to cross as a part of the early scenario just to get on the map

Would you settle for ASL doing just the Prokorovkha part?  http://www.vftt.co.uk/files/tactiques-stalnie-prostori-cg.pdf
In my first ASL tournament, I lost my last game to the translator, Alain Chabot.

I'm not surprised at all. That's awesome and worrying at the same time. ;D

@staggerwing:  That photograph is why Panzer Battles is sexy...to some...like me.  It's PB/PL -- same scale -- and you can do the entire freaking Normandy invasion.  Not that I have. Yet.

@Uberhaus:  I am backing slowly away from that looking for an exit and a weapon.

Space Empires 4x on the table right now, but with the Civ6 expansion out I don't know when I'll get to start. And note that I had to use my Federation Commander board. The one that comes with SE4x is too big for my wee gaming table.  :(

I just began a JTCS West Front PBEM 3x3 battle on V Panzerarmee at Bulge. The map, with 250m hexes, is  300 x 200 hexes, that's 60 000 hexes to maneuver in.

The designer had divided the map to three historical operational areas, with Unpassable hexes running diagonally, separating the areas from one another. He's allowed the historical roads to cross over these boundaries however, so, at stages, it is possible to agree to move a certain formation from one sector to another.

It is on, I've got the northern most sector, with 2d Volksgrenadier D. leading the line, and Fuhrer Begleiter D. as reserves, arriving later.

How these works is that the three players on each side agree on a save-game password, then the first player does his part, saves, passes on to second, rinse and repeat, and the third player finally ends the turn and sends over. To have an addtional roleplaying factor, we agreed on a C-in-C who gets to decide who gets what available generic assets, so for instance it is entirely possible should there be an opportunity elsewhere I'd need to pass over Fuhrer Begleiter to central sector, say.

at 94 turns as whole, this will likely take well over a year to complete. St Vith here I come...

Just arrived today - so, on the table but still in the box, if you know what I mean,

'Last Eagles - Ligny 1815' from Hexasim.
