Greetings. I just wanted to send a note concerning
Frontline General: Spearpoint 1943. It is fantastic! Very well done.
I have been able to use it to introduce my ten year old son to WWII gaming and we take it everywhere we go. The fact that you can play it on any surface is perfect. I have to admit that I have both versions of
(game omitted) but due to the time and space it takes to set up and play they don't get much playtime, BUT, the terrain tiles make a very good modular board for Spearpoint. We use different colored wood blocks from other games to keep up with who's attacking who when we are at home.
We have even played it on the days that we are both up early before he goes to school, he has it set up and has his force picked out, (he prefers the Germans, I think just because the tank names are cool ), before I can get my morning coffee. I have told him it is hardly fair, I am 41 and it takes the coffee a few minutes to take effect so I can think somewhat tactically. We have played it so much that I am going to get a couple more copies and sleeve them this time. I am finally in a position to preorder the expansions as well, I would love to see them released.
We have recently moved to Fairfax, Va and this was one of the first games we brought out, with work and everything else involved with moving, the gameroom is still mostly packed up but we can set this up on the floor or his bed even and get a game in anytime. I just wanted to send a note saying thank you for the fantastic game and great work done on it. I have been a member of BGG for many years but have recently realized that I would like to do more to support those of you who make this hobby what it is, at the very least in word. Spearpoint in particular has enabled me to introduce my son to tactical wargaming gradually while scratching that itch for me as well, it will always be a favorite.
Take care,
Richard
