GAMES!
This year, we’re leading off with the games, and there’s some excellent ones to choose from this year. Leading off, we’ve got Mark Walker’s ’65 Squad-Level Combat in Vietnam, a gorgeous card-driven game with the biggest counters this side of… well, of Night of Man, another FPG offering. Refight the Vietnam War, one firefight at a time, and if you grab it now, it’s over $20 off!

The Russian Campaign, Designer’s Edition (GMT Games / Consim Press)

The Russian Campaign is an oft-revered game frequently mentioned among the ‘gold standards’ of classic wargaming. It’s also been been mentioned with sputtered mutterings that vaguely sounds like “it costs how much?!?!” Well, here’s your chance to get your hands on your own new, updated, corners-waiting-to-be-clipped copy of the classic. You get 5 scenarios, counters with both NATO and icon artwork, full color rules & players aids, and 30 years of refinements and improvements to the rules, examples of play, game balance. Blitz your way over to the p500 page to get your money down.

The Last Hundred Yards (GMT)
p500 $38, MSRP $59 – not there yet
Because what you really need is another tactical level WWII game, right? But this one includes a significant dose of battlefield chaos and an emphasis on the decisions made by the men on the ground far more than the technical capabilities of their gear. Early feedback from GMT’s Weekend at the Warehouse is positive, so check it out.

PART 4
TURN 2, ROUND 4, USSR
The USSR plays TRUMAN DOCTRINE, and the game prompts me to remove Influence in one country. I’m not really sure this is a bad thing…obviously, he’s playing this for its whole 1 Op, and the Event has to fire…which makes me think he doesn’t have much in the way of cards.
