Title: The Last Hundred Yards - Box Contents
Post by: judgedredd on June 27, 2020, 10:53:14 AM: It came today. It won't get to the table any time soon because I've just setup Front Toward Enemy - and I like to get at least one game (but preferrably more) before I crack into a new game.

So - here's the contents. Good looking game. Good quality counters and maps. Decent looking rule book and Play book with a huge extended play.

Squads if I'm not mistaken

Yeah - just checked - squads and sections.

The little number top left is the squad number and the number bottom centre is the platoon they belong to with a commander for each platoon

Yes - 2.5

Post by: Hethwill on August 13, 2020, 06:17:23 AM: Lovely game system, really like the continuous action from both players and focus on the "men, doctrine and tactics" instead of the "quality of equipment".

Played through the infantry missions and now going to the first one with vehicles. ( now = once i finish the Flying Colors game I have on the table )

Title: Re: The Last Hundred Yards - Box Contents
Post by: Barthheart on March 30, 2021, 08:20:02 AM: I've only played a couple of time, both solo, and I like it. It's got a different take on what happens in a "turn".
You will like that there is actually a C&C system, in that squads belong to a platoon that has a particular leader and keeping together is part of the system.
Turns are more fluid with an Action-Reaction system, with the combat results at the end of the turn.

Well worth being in my collection.
