Expect a full report, we will be playing a Eastern Front Skirmish in 28mm using NUTS! 2.0 from Two Hour Wargames.
In the meantime, I ordered [GASP] a board wargame from Lock and Load publishing called World at War: Eisenbach Gap. I am 37, and as a lot of gamers my age I started playing D&D and Avalon Hill board wargames in the 80's. I also spent a LOT of time with my best friend Dave writing our own board game on a hypothetical WW3 in Europe. Think Team Yankee, The Third World War, or Red Storm Rising. Well, I finally found a professionally developed version at the same scale and on the same theme...
Here is what you get in the box:
Production values look high, and the scale is exactly what I was trying to play 25 years ago, 1 counter = 1 platoon. Perfect scale to command a Company Team or Battalion Task Force.
I have played only once solo, but the rules kinda feel miniatures like for a hex and counter game, pleasantly so. You can find detailed reviews on Board Game Geek. I hope to get some more games in.
Will post photos from today's game tonight!

Been looking at this series of games for a while. Do you think it's worth the investment?
