Looks interesting BC, but I'm gamed out at the mo. When I get my teeth into Holland '44 and if I enjoy it, I may well buy the other ones mentioned. I might even get them anyway as retirement projects.
I was playing LnL Blood and Bridges the other day (Sunday) and if you don't over think the rules, they can be quite simple. I was really enjoying it. Example - the Formation Impulse...I had infantry loaded on an APC and I wanted to unload them and I was thinking "Am I able to unload them and then fire with the APC?"...after stopping over thinking it, I realised that I can do one of several things and the unload was under the Movement order...so I couldn't fire. But it's those kinds of things that sometimes get me bogged down.
Anyway - I had a successful few impulses...bit gutted when my M48 platoon (x3) rolled 3 die each and every dice rolled was less than the required 4!! 11 dice (one had +2 for being with an HQ) and they were all less than 4. Gutted
I would say one of my weaknesses with board games is believing (after a turn or two) that I know the rules and don't check...and it's times like that where I forget to add/remove modifiers. So when I was playing on Sunday, I was constantly referring to the rules.
