The Walking Dead roam the Earth but I fear no evil for my car and its door-mounted flamethrowers comfort me. Saws welded to the wheels convey me through the thickest hordes via the path of righteousness, and thy automatic shotguns reap what zombies hath sewn. Thou hath preparest reinforced steel windows and a chain link windshield for me in the midst of mine enemies. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life.

A Distant Plain – First Look!

GMT’s newest entrant into the COIN Series from Volko Ruhnke bring collaborator Brian Train into the fold.  A Distant Plain explores counterinsurgency operations in Afghanistan, and we’ve been following the developments for quite a while.  And while I didn’t force the designers to collaborate at gunpoint or anything, I did book them both into the same panel at Connections in 2011, so somewhere along the way I’m going to claim 1.87% of the credit of getting these two excellent designers together.

This is a pretty hefty box.  It’s a standard footprint, but several inches thick.

And there’s a reason for it – this box is loaded: player aids, 2 books, a countersheet, a bag of other markers, and a deck of cards.

Captain’s Log – Supplemental:

The Gorn have captured the Helios Device. As their ship escapes with it they have launched a spoiling attack to delay pursuit on our starbase. Commodore Daniels has determined that discretion is the better part of his valor and has fled to his escape shuttle to remove himself from the danger of the Gorn assault. Valorous or not, I cannot abandon the men and women of the starbase. Spock and I have headed to the heart of the Gorn assault and are gradually clearing the mess hall of the attackers. As if that weren’t enough, if the Gorn can unravel the secrets of the Helios Device, their assault on the Federation may be unstoppable.

Captain out.

Tuesday Screenshot – Command Ops: Battles for Greece

Today is not a good day to be defending the Portas and Olympus Passes against the Germans. My unit, the 21st New Zealand Infantry Battalion, has been tasked with defending two tunnels. These tunnels leads directly to the Tempe Gorge. If the Jerries make it there they will succeed in cutting off the Allied withdrawal! We cannot allow that to happen. Intelligence reported that our sector would be quiet, thus leaving us with no dedicated anti-armor units. As usually, military intelligence proved it was not, and we now face a company of Panzer IIs and IIIs without much hope of stopping them.

As the Jerries push forward it became clear we needed to blow at least one of the tunnels. Chances are the other will need to be blown, too. There are still several hours before dark. This is going to be a tough fight.
