it was that massive map that put me off

I like big maps and I can not lie


will be surrounded by them 'til I die

'cause the more they make the more I buy

Great game series. I need GMT to reprint France 40 to round out the collection.

Whoa, it's at the printer. Nice! This is one of my P500 orders...the other being Mr. President.

That's a must buy. I like the scope and the maps look awesome.

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

I'll have to dig out my copy and clip the counters

That's awesome, I love it when designers tackle under-represented topics.

Whilst on one hand, I agree with you; I would point out that, if you are familiar with the system, you will recognise that no previous game on the subject (that I'm aware of) has represented it in quite this way.

I would like to see some North Africa and Italian campaigns. A good Burma campaign would be interesting too. But I like the series and Stalingrad is a must campaign for any WW2 series IMO.
