I may just have to pull the trigger on this one.

Yes... but 55 euros is not what I'd call cheap... ~$85 CAD + shipping...

Still it does look good and looks like an interesting battle. I like the use of German symbols on the German units.

I've never heard of this publisher. They only have one other game and it also looks interesting to me:

The Great Crisis of Frederick II

Here's their web site: VUCA Simulations

Yeah, just the two games at present - I've told Doug about the Fred II game since it seems to be well within his sphere of interest.

I saw it as my duty to do so  :whistle:

Found a US distributor for The Great Crisis of Frederick II so I ordered it.  :D

I thought I'd better get in quick in case its the only copy he has (which I doubt) and also I though I would save you from yourself since you have a cart load of games heading your way. I would hate to see you suffer from games overload :-)
