This takes all that was good from SPI's Central Front series & NATO Division Commander and combines it into one. I'm really pumped for this as CF is one of my favourite wargames. I even dumped a couple GMT P500s I wanted so I could get this one. Should be out in the next couple of weeks.

I've reserved a copy. I hope the money works out for me to pull it off

The NZ dollar to Euro exchange rate is even worse that the NZ-US so it's costing me a pretty penny.

Just paid for it, $NZ215.  The most I've spent on a single game.

This is the North flank companion too LT60M and the next game in their World War 3 series.

It covers the Brits up on the northern sector and the North German plain.

Much like LT60M, it is 100% the kind of game I would normally be interested in, but I just don't know when I would ever get it to the table, and that's a lot of money to spend on an expensive shelf ornament

Right now they're just taking reservations for pre-orders, so I might end up changing my mind. But I missed LT60M so I don't know but I would want to take the plunge on this and not have them to link together if I ever get around to putting them on a table.

It looks gorgeous though!

I am on the preorder list.  I really like LT60M.  It's a bit of a slog, but they build in command delays and the need to plan by going with short 3-hour turns.  It's a really good system.

But...

I have LT60M on my table right now.  Like I said, it can be a bit of a slog--rewarding when understood, but slow.  I am ambivalent about finishing the scenario and am considering cleaning it up now, even though I wanted to play the longer campaign game next.  I have a real hankering for some Flying Colors and then diving into A Time for Trumpets.

They mentioned on BGG that they will probably reprint it in 2021.

they just launched orders for the reprint of this, so if you want one, get your name in NOW before it sells out again

https://trlgames.com/2023/05/15/less-than-60-miles-defcon-1-2/


if you got in on the pre-order, then pay up quick, or they'll make yours available to the general public

I'm interested, but I just sprung for an old copy of NATO Division Commander. I have ideas to update it and turn it into something newer and more approachable. :)

NATO Division Commander - the old SPI game? My word, that brings back some memories!

I told myself I didn't need this as I have the 1st edition.
But I am also weak. (NZ$280 incl. shipping this time, yikes!)
