From an old wargamer...This game was (and still is) revolutionary. There are very few like it. No, it's not a remake of a board game. No, it's not a tactical game or a "first person 'shoot 'em up" game.
This is a thinking man's game. It plays more like chess...move, and countermove.
It resembles many of the great board games that were popular in the late 1980's and early 1990's but doesn't have a 50 page rule book.
If you want action hero type games and patoon or tactical games (like Close Combat, etc.) don't get this.
However, if you want historical insite and understanding on an operational (division and regimental level) as well as a very good time with a friend in head to head play or even solitare ...this is the 'bear and pretzles' game system for you.
