Unfortunately, there have been too many WW2 tac games that have promised expansion and have not delivered. CoH and BoB being two such game systems.

I'm rarely interested in WW2 Tac board games. I generally play minis at that level. No lack of systems or armies for that.

Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.

Yes, you are correct about that.

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.

Thanks. I was curious how that reaction mechanic would work solo but I guess its just make the be decisions possible for both sides still.

I'm pretty handy at making a 2 player game work solo...for the most part.

Hidden units, pre-planned arty strikes and minefields are always a bit of a pain...but I'm fairly reasonable at playing both sides.
