It’s not as good of a game as G40 but it is still a good game. The play is much different so that adds some variety to your game collection. Make sure that if you are going to get the game that you get extra pieces or you will be frustrated. Aside from German infantry the next thing to run out is the playing chips and they are slightly larger than the chips you are using now so they don’t stack well. You can buy the pieces and chips from HBG. The tournament rules are better than the OOB rules as well.
Time of games
-
I’ve played 2 games with friends and we ended it around round 5-6 each time (5-6 hours).
I played a full game myself and it lasted 16 hours.
Does anyone have friends that will actually finish the games up to +14 hours. It seems like the game is too long. Most of the last 5 hours is just one side clearly winning and just trying to capture the capitals.
My question is, is anyone finishing games that aren’t solo testplays?

We hadn’t finished after 6 hours, and I surmise it would have taken another six minimum to complete it. Now I understand why the belligerents agreed to an armistice!
On the other hand, now that we’ve got a lot of rules hammered out, I think the game will go MUCH faster next time (maybe 30 min a turn, instead of an hour a turn).

Yea, the rules are a hurdle the first time through, then they feel good after you get the hang of them.
