"This is a card-driven, area-based design with low counter density and a much simplified combat system"
Pass. Pass. And Pass.
Does come with solitaire rules for all you guys who don't have friends
I noticed last night that I do have a Falklands game I recently bought (but haven't played yet surprise, surprise!) which is area based. But it is quite old. Rule book isn't very pretty, counters aren't particularly pretty and map isn't mounted...all very "cheap" looking though it wasn't really on price.
The components on this look great. Mounted board, good looking cards and counters. I love me the Vietnam era too. I've got Heroes of the Nam (not played...I'm seeing a pattern!) which is platoon level, so this could be a nice edition to the era.
GimpyGamer has done a couple of videos. I think I'll take a look today.
Also, haven't I seen you guys discuss Compass Games before? Now I can't recall if that was in a good light or a bad light. Do they make "generally" good games?
