One of my favorites.

Ares magazine version

Another module in the Advanced Tobruk System line from Critical Hit. A big map of that portion of Arnhem where the Red Devils made their stand. Out gunned and out numbered, only the Brits great morale keeps them in the fight. My favorite of the series so far!

S&T magazine version

It was missing cards when I bought it.

Christmas gift 2006

Sit unpunched on my game shelf. This one includes the Red Barricades CG.

Rating after one play. At least willing to give it one more play. Played the "short" game. Although the length of the short game is about right I don't think it lasted long enough for one's pirates to do much.

A unique diceless combat system. The game plays relatively quickly and keeps you on your toes the whole time. Very enjoyable; one of my current favorites. I look forward to Bowen's next game Napoleon's Triumph.

Old Avalon Hill edition

Rating based on FFG Edition.

As with all tactical games this one, especially, takes longer to play than the actual situation you're simulating. Still, I like the topic it covers thus my above average rating.

1st expansion module of the Squad Leader series. It over hauled the rules for tanks and guns. A must have expansion for the series at the time but as with Squad Leader it gets little play from me these days. Rate it an 9.5 at the time.

Currently Critical Hit's Advanced Tobruk System is my WWII tactical game of choice.

A VASSAL module for this has been released.

Finally got to play a scenario this year. I really enjoyed the game. Rules are short for a wargame and fairly straight forward.

The kids love the pirate theme and the production values are top notch but it seems repetitive to me and thus can get old if the game starts to go long.

Bought at BGG Con 2006 at Decision Games' booth.

I've had the game for about 2yrs before finally playing it. It is better than I thought it would be.

Valley Games reprint.

Current copy remains unpunched, cards still in shrink, with rules autographed by Mark Simonitch. Picked this one up back in 2003 at a FLGS for $40.

Played it with my kids, ages 8,13,15 and 17. They all enjoyed it so it will make it back to the family game night table.

Christmas 2008 gift.

Great game when you want to a quick wargame. Easy rules, great production values.

Surprisingly good game, better than I expected.

SPI deluxe edition.

Christmas gift - 2006
I think my son has beaten me all three times we have played it.

I like the idea of the movement of the ring putting a time limit on the game. It has fallen to a distant second compared to War of the Ring (FFG).

Traded Vinci for this copy

Picked from the Red Prize table at BGG Con 2006.

A module from Critical Hit's Advanced Tobruk System. One of my favorites. A decent collection of scenarios with a good mix of scenario types.

Have played it twice so far, 3 and 4 player. Definitely feel it plays better with more people. I will want to try it out with 5 or 6 players to see if my rating changes.

6/22/06-I've been playing this lately and forgot the simplicity of it compared to ASL, ATS, and the like. Enjoyed it so bumped up its rating from 6.5 to 7.0.

Played the h**l out of this game when it first came out. Owned 3 copies, still have one of them but it doesn't get much play these days. Rate it a 9 back in its day.

Haven't played it yet but the additions look like it will make a good game even better. Can't wait to try it out. Hopefully the games will go deeper into the Stage III deck now that the Special Victory conditions are not automatic.

Recent acquisition, 2007. One day I'll play one of these games from the series.

I liked this game more every time I play it.

I like this game more and more with each play. Bought the 5th-player expansion but have not played with it yet. BGG Con 2007 perhaps.

I bought this along with Breakout Normandy and Monty's Gamble: Market Garder all for $60. All three in excellent condition.

So far the most played game of my collection in 2005. I love the theme and it feels like the books. I like both the two and four player versions.

Another solid hit. The two battle games included in the expansion are as fun to play as the original.

Best when played with the new miniatures.

First Edition.

I think the game takes too long for what it offers. I'd rather play Last Night on Earth.
