Though my understanding of the system is still lacking. Heroes of Stalingrad helps some on the learning curve, but it's not the same as having the mapboard out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390443592942097870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8366189854010071552.post-21117096109387716302014-03-04T22:32:06.647+09:002014-03-04T22:32:06.647+09:00Well, for squad level, I would have to say I reall...Well, for squad level, I would have to say I really enjoy the Lock 'n Load series. Since I'm a big fan of the WW3 type of stuff, I'm partial to Heroes of the Gap. I also like Forgotten Heroes: Vietnam and their WW2 offering, Band of Heroes.

Thanks to your writeups which clarify a lot of game concepts I think I'm finally going to be playing Blood and Bridges which should more than adequately prepare me for the simpler Eisenbach Gap. Thanks again for the tutorials and hope to read more from you!<br /><br />Do you have more tutorials planned? You really break down the game concepts well!

I would recommend Eisenbach Gap for a new player since it has a very small ruleset without lots of bells and whistles and gives you the basics you need to dive into the other modules. TUS is a great game and the scenarios are top-notch too but I always find myself returning to Eisenbach Gap mostly due to its beautiful simplicity.bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07676567236378987679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8366189854010071552.post-81957204659121124982013-02-06T11:57:57.248+09:002013-02-06T11:57:57.248+09:00Very nice report!
