I seem to be in a bit of a board gaming funk.
I'm currently playing Old School Tactical Western Front...and whilst I like it's simplicity, I'm just feeling empty when I get to the end of a scenario.
More than that...I'm constantly tempted to end the scenario early and start a new one. Kind of looking for fulfillment.
There's not a lot to dislike with OST...Nice simple rule set, decent tactical options, decent scenarios.
It's not only OST though. Before starting OST, I had read the rules to Band of Brothers...then dropped that and took the rule book for LnL Tactical on holiday with me...learned that and played a couple of scenarios and dumped that.
I think I finally worked out what it is though...missions with a finite turn set and some meaningless victory hexes to grab just sent making me happy.
I think the problem is I want a campaign with these games. I don't want unlinked, meanings missions. I want something with a bit of meat to it.
And this might be exclusively for tactical games because I didn't feel like this with Holland '44 or Enemy Action Ardennes.
I liked the campaign I played in Fields of Fire.
Anyone else suffer from feeling like the victory in a tactical mission with no follow on missions leaves you feeling wanting?
