Title: Red Strike
Post by: JudgeDredd on September 08, 2023, 01:17:21 AM: Red Strike by Vuca Simulations is almost ready.

Out of their catalogue this one I was excited about. The game has 24!!! counter sheets

Anyway...cold war sounds great...I just need to make sure it's solitaire friendly

I'm also interested if it can be played solo.

But at $250 CAD to get it in my hands might just be too much.... :(

Also the designer, Yves, is one of the nicest people you could ever meet.

But the designer seemed to think it was do-able.

I'm picking it up I think. It's right up my alley

Just being snarky. >:D It is Vuca, afterall. With their production quality they could release a game about ants fighting and I'd probably buy it. ;D

This.

I absolutely adore Vuca Sims products. I have both Donnerschlag and Task Force.
