DOWNTOWN is such, such a great game. Quite a puzzle for both sides. And I love how the scenarios show the progression of air vs air, air vs ground, and ground vs air technology over the years! ELUSIVE VICTORY looks so good as well!
Smitty got me interested in Elusive Victory, especially as I have Downtown, and would like to devote some time to playing both for some compare and contrast. I played a lot of the old GDW Arctic Front and Victory's 2nd Fleet back in the day, enjoyed…
Jim, oh I have so many fond memories playing NORDKAPP. Back in those days I was stationed at Camp Lejeune and both 6th and 4th Marine Expeditionary Brigades had the Norway "contingency." I trained with 4th MEB doing Norway ALPINE WARRIOR workups. So…
I just made an order to Noble Knight Games:
Elusive Victory (GMT)
Sealords on the Mekong Delta (S&T)
Nordkapp (S&T)
Fortress Berlin (ATO)
Let's see when I have time to play them, and can cover them in Line of Departure.
Got MARIA in the mail yesterday...a distant cousin to FRIEDRICH, this one covering the War of Austrian Succession. Should play a lot faster than the Red Sash trilogy covering the same topic (oh, but MARIA does NOT cover the Italian Front). 3 player…
cool, is your friend on here? has he found a group to play with? I'm trying to get something started for wargamers up here, and looking for opponents as well!
OK, I guess that makes sense. As long as the unit has the movement points to leave the formation it's in, and enter the formation it want to go to, it seems logical that it should be able to do it.
I was thinking that going from "Deliberate Assault…
You can make a single change to any formation, by paying the movement cost. I can know of no rule that states you must be in Movement to Contact, to make the change.

The last rules issue we're debating is the "Formation Change" rule.
The rules say that only one formation change per Game Turn is allowed.
Scott interprets that to mean that a unit can go from Travel to Hasty Assault, for example, as a single form…
Played a game if Vikings last night, and, although I won, it was a little unsatisfying. The complete, and nearly devastating, randomness of the cards almost undid me. Overall, it was an OK game, although there is some ambiguity in the movement rules…
Anyone else have difficulty finding opponents available for online play (e.g., Vassal) during Pacific Time hours? I know I do. I though a group to help identify people who fit that profile might be useful to others.
What a coincidence, I'm also rereading Panzer Leader while I'm waiting for Glantzs newest book to arrive (its been shipped) part 2 of the Stalingrad trilogy..
