If you are into World War II infantry tactics (and who isn’t?) you will recognize the importance of the machine gun and mortar. We have tried to reflect their importance with the suppression ability and until you master it you will not get far.... (Read More)

One Man

March 17th - via: kickstarter.com
I have been asked if each card represents one man or is representative of a squad, stick, or more. I have come to the conclusion that the answer is yes. While certain objectives were taken by larger groups, on occasion one man made the difference. A... (Read More)

V is for Victory

March 10th - via: kickstarter.com
I was really struck by the stories of sacrifice and heroism that occurred on D-Day reading through the awards and commendations. It is a travesty that each division was limited to only 1 Medal of Honors for action on that day. When looking at... (Read More)

A Solo Game

A Solo Game Part of the problem with game design is creating balance for players. If the game creates too much of a feedback loop it is easy to have a runaway leader which the other players can’t catch up. Unfortunately real life is full of... (Read More)

Organized Chaos
