Very excited to get it. Campaign sounds amazing.

As my Secret Santa got me this it has meant I have been able to pre order Western Front Ace. SO both games I've been so looking forward too but wasn't sure how I could afford both has been sorted. Both these board games have been top of my want list full stop. Now waiting on Steel Tigers, Second Front and see what WDS do with Squad Battles. Board games I'm all sorted for.

Pre-ordered mine over a year ago so very expectant.

Look forward to Combat Airborne module game and Combat Vol 4 Russian Front/Stalingrad?

Obviously, you guys are younger and smarter, as there is no way I could handle the game, even though the depth and detail looks truly amazing. Thing is, for me at least, I have not become smarter in my senior years. Just the opposite.

Have fun, and a screenshot or short AAR would be great.

Usually what I do is before I read the rulebook I check the playthrough videos. It helps a lot with me when reading the book.
There are several of these videos for Combat!.
