This is has been fun so far.  We've made it through turn 4 of 20 and played about 3.5 hours.  That may sound slow, but we had a couple of technical issues that turn about half an hour.  Also, Tuna and I new to the game, so we're still learning and getting the hang of it, though turn 4 went quicker. 

I think the one rule that needs to be looked at is the electronic warfare one.  The card has come up four times, 3 against all three Warsaw Pact formations, and once against a NATO formation.  This has really slowed things down since each hex that has an effected unit has to be checked each turn.  It also means that the WP units haven't gotten to within two or three hexes of any objectives yet.  I suggested that once it's used, that the card stays out of the deck for 2 or 3 turns.  SDR suggested that it stays out until the targeted formation is no longer impacted. 

Here at ACD, we all pee the same color.

Should refresh step not happen until the formation card is drawn (activation), as opposed to beginning of the turn?

Hey Tuna.
What is shown in that video is what happens when you draw a formation card.

At the end of a turn, though, there is a step called Marker Removal Phase. In this phase you remove Ops Complete and Out of Command markers from everyone on the board. This is in section 2.3 of the WaW85 rulebook for those of you that have it.

The Nations at War system will have a similar phase at the end of every turn.

So if a unit does an Opp Fire, and then later it's Formation is activated, it removes the token and can do something again in that same turn?

I could do an early Friday night. Say start at 6pm EDT? Play for a couple of hours.

hmm, that may be tight, but maybe.. depends on what time I head out to get takeout. Better from the 'dog' perspective (wife would still be up).
