Just bought the Last Hundred Yards. I hadn't heard of this. Pretty cheap but a cracking looking game with decent sounding mechanics and the guys over at The Players Aid raved about it.

I keep looking at this one but from some things I read it doesn't play well solo and thats how I usually end up playing most of my games. Let us know what you think.

I have this and it plays just fine solo. There are a couple of scenarios with hidden units but there are ways around that.
The action - reaction mechanic is a new take on squad level games and there is more Command and Control built in to how the units behave.

Good fun.

BC doesn't buy games. They are delivered to him by the angels at no cost.

Confirming the game exists is an important step in the review process.

Whilst I do like the llok of LHY, I do wish there was a greater variety of forces with the game. The very early images of the game from a year or so ago did feature units from the 250th Infantry Division (Spanish 'Blue' Division). A tac game with some UK/commonwealth forces would make a nice change, as well.
