Not heard of this publisher before, but I could really go for this  game.

Nice looking game. Has a kind of a Vuca-vibe to it.  8)

Been tracking these guys for TN for a while now, but they haven't released much that's new since we started.

Just two games published as far as I can see.

I did have a little 'rivet-counter' gripe about the divisional badge on the counter for the British 5th Infantry Division. They used the WW1 insignia instead of the correct WW2 one. This was the outfit my dad served with from 1939-45.

Yes, I know - nerd!

I just got this game last week.  I'm looking forward to getting it on the table.  I decided to take a a chance on it because copies of AH Anzio cost so much these days.  It's a boxless game, but all the components are top notch! I was impressed.

I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on it. Games on the subject are a bit few and far between.
