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.
