I play LOF scenarios quite often... there is even a battle report on LOF6 penned by ome on a previous LOF scenario. also I think one of the scenario in B&B that uses some counters for Eisenbach. Also look at battle withing Battles expansion that com…

IMHO, and I am biased it is worth. Same system but two different situations. In Eisenbach you have americans versus soviet (M1, M113, M901, some bradleys T72, T55, T62 BMP1 and BTR) B&B add the british army of the Rhine, some older US equipment and…

I was wrong--it was a 1920's Greek 20mm armoured gun. Apparently you took your team of horses, put it in place, and then fired it like a turret.

I think it is an early armored car in my photo. I'll ask my husband who took the photo :)

Thanks for your help! I'm printing the mag now and it is taking a LONG time to print on my HP Color Laserjet here at work. I did notice that the counters will print too large. I'll work on them and hopefully they will come out well. Good gaming!

Well ... after I sent the last message to you I broke down and bought LOF 3! You only live once .. right? You designed that unit? Great work ... I can't wait to try them out in battle. My only concern is mounting the counters properly so they look nice. It would be a shame to ruin such nice counters with a lousy mounting job.

I do like playing the West Germans in World at War and I love the Leopards! This piece is actually from Line of Fire magazine and is gorgeous. I haven't had the chance yet to buy the mag, I just downloaded the image from the LnL website. It's alot prettier than a picture of me!

No they're not, not Super Bowl winners. Some members of the defense need a major attitude adjustment too, especially about standards and excuses.

They are really a not very good team this year.

The Steelers used an onside kick today, and almost snatched defeat from the jaws of mediocrity too. It's a big reason why Roethlisberger could throw for 500 yards and still need the last play of the game to win, by one point.

Hold the line by Worthington games. A GREAT simple revolutionary war game, similar to Command and Colors, but uses Action Points instead of cards. You can move any unit you want with your points. (Similar to Conflict of heroes)
