Scenario A The Blitz of Western Europe
Time needed : 10-20 minutes

I'm not really into games (or games that have scenarios) that take less time to play than it does to read the rules (I know there are other scenarios  :go-on: ).

It's not rally that though...I'm not a massive fan of grand strategy games and not much of a lover of "area" control and combat.

Looks nice enough, but nothing like what I'd look for in a game.

Thanks for the vid  :bigthumb:

Like I mentioned, I know nothing about this game. I do like the high level strategic stuff and look forward to seeing how this plays. I will have to admit, however, that the game I would like to see come out is a Pacific version of Combat!. I liked your AAR and if they ever release a Pacific version of it I'm going to be all over it.  :bigthumb:

Concerning the short scenario (10-15 minutes) the designer responded on BGG with:

As for time needed, it varies depending on scenarios. The short ones (D-Day, destruction of Poland & France, etc.) are quite short -- they are "training" scenarios. The full game of WW2 is about 8 hours. Some players say it takes longer; I play a solitaire game in 6-7 hours usually; so that varies.
