Its been a busy week here but I've managed a turn or two, now and again, and tuned up a much quicker, 'brigades as units', game.
That's done now and hopefully, I'll get a full report on the battle and rules up tomorrow. Then I can focus on a new, very portable, emergency evacuation game in a box. Good for a quick game on a long vacation trip, sitting in the shade at a park, or on my lawn.

"very portable, emergency evacuation game in a box." Sound policy: in extremis, ensure that you have the necessities!
ReplyDeleteStay calm and carry on!
DeleteColor me intrigued by the "new, very portable, emergency evacuation game in a box". Every "bug out" kit should have some kind of war game in it!
