Seems odd there has been no announcement in the forum about this.

Status: offline 		ah well for me Barbarossa has already been done to death, i would have liked Arnhem or another go at some of the western front etc, but that maybe because it still hasn't been done in the later years really good enough for me by anyone at the level i want either, this new engine would have done it justice i bet, but maybe number 4 then, i'll wait with baited breath

Status: offline 		i used to play squad leader and that was a brilliant board war game and so far hasn't been beaten or surpassed by any game i've played as yet...

dated and made by Avalon Hill in 1977, i still have the original box and counters, with all the updates, something to keep dry and safe...

for those who don't know it, or have heard about it but never seen or played it, here's the online version...

Status: offline 		If you'll read the diaries carefully you will soon notice this may be a unique take on a well-worn subject, which is why I'm very eager to play this game. It focuses on things which most hex-and-counter games forget, that is interaction between commanders, including front line commanders vs the logistics guys vs high command. I even think the actual counter-pushing is a bit simplified comparing to some other games, but it's not a problem given the other aspects to be put into the game.

Status: offline 		Hey sorry for editing your post zakblood. But there was a reason there was no public announcement. we don't want to give the wrong idea to other players. We are just accepting a limited number of testers and this point, if you did not receive a personal email by Cameron Harris you will not be able to sign up for this early beta testing round. Thanks for the enthusiasm though :)

best wishes,
Vic

Somewhere towards fall or the end of this year would be optimal. But as usual my disclaimer: this is a target, not a promise :)

best wishes,

Want something new? Or something that hasn't been beaten to a bloody pulp over and over and over and over? Here's a few ideas. Italian campaign hasn't been done since TOAW and would be perfect for the decisive game engine. Guadalcanal? Okinawa? D-Day to the Rhein. Market Garden? Bulge? How About a what if invasion of Japan? Korea 1 anyone?

How many different ways are there to make vanilla ice cream?

Status: offline 		I am looking forward to Case Blue. That said I'd be immensely happy to see this engine applied to the Pacific theatre in WWII. Or the Korean War. Vietnam. WWII West front.

It's a wonderful game engine, the enhancements for Case Blue look good and I really hope there are more releases in the future.
