Love me some chit pull.

I did really like the variable turn time aspect of LHY.

Yeah, that combination of trying to keep casualties down and watching the time limit. Great stuff.

Can I ask what size table you can "get away with"? I have a 35" x 50" area with 60" if absolutely necessary

Mine is 63" x 31.5".

It's this table here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BR3NXTKK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Love me some chit pull.
And....up for sale.

I got really, really bored with rolling for activations for the Union and having them fail and only able to perform a Fire Order.

I was on turn 5 and the first 3 chits I pulled were Birney and Ayers (x2). Birney needs a roll of 2 or less and Ayers a 3 or less to have a full activation...both rolled high and they weren't within range of Confederate forces so couldn't attack resulting in 2 burned activations for Ayers brigades and 1 for Birney and that was me.

Salerno '43 is next.

Ah well, no one can say you didn't try. Whilst I love the system, I'm really not that interested in a game that just covers the one day of a 3 day battle. there are better games in the series, and, to be honest, if you are new to the series, that particular game is maybe not the best one to start with.

I did give it a good go. It was on my table for almost two months think.

My wife was telling me to "Pack it up! Pack it up!"...trying to understand why I was playing a game that I kept walking away from to do other stuff.
