Less Than 60 Miles - Getting near..

[Pinetree]

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.

[Pinetree]

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

Ouch

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!)

[bayonetbrant]

Yowza!


(But yeah, I bought in this time after missing the last 2 around job shenanigans)

Yep, the very same.

It looks very fiddly compared to some more 'modern' games but that's just an initial impression and can be totally wrong. I'd mentioned a few ideas to Greg Smith (Nightfighter Ace, Interceptor Ace, etc.) and he thought it would be a good idea to actually have the game rather than just the rules, and I'd been on the fence about it already. Plus I had a bit of credit with them, so why not.

Hope those memories of yours on this game are good, Bawb!

I remember a group of us played it, and, whilst it was interesting, I seem to recall it was also bloody hard work! :-)

I think that the concept behind it was quite ground-breaking at the time. Also Red Star/White Star got a lot of table time as did the old monster 'Next War' also both by SPI.

Just checked the shipping notification in mine is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I hope nothing happens to it since we are going to be about an hour away at a funeral all afternoon and into the evening 😔

So - I had The Dogs of War and shamefully let it go (for a profit) because I wanted to give my daughter some extra money for Uni.

This has piqued my interest in the series again - so I've just bought this (which I never had) in the hopes they release a 2nd Echelon of The Dogs of War.
