GrogHeads Advanced Research on Projects Advisory #50!
GARPA turns 50! Can we get a “w00t! w00t!” ? Last month it was all games that had already made the cut. This month? You gotta work for ’em…
No Trumpets, No Drums (One Small Step Games)
Pre-order price of $44.95
New from OSS, No Trumpets, No Drums is a strategic- and high operational-level game of the Vietnam War from ’65-’75. Picking up after the French have left, and running past the departure of most US ground troops, this expansive game covers the ground campaigns, with a heavy dose of the political machinations that ultimately decided the war. It’s a hex-and-counter layout on your table, but the game plays on several levels and is conducive to team play, as well.
This is a remake of an earlier magazine game from the early 80s. They are hoping to get it out by the end of the year, but only if they can get enough preorders in to make it into production, so get to their website and place your pre-order. OSS makes some great games, from some cracking designers and developers.
