We have 4 cats. The cats value their life too much to enter the war room. If the door happens to be open, they'll stand at the entrance and look in. The only time the door's open is if I'm going in or out.

In a great scrabble of claws, yowls, counters and cardboard, they all disappeared downstairs....followed immediately by mad scrabbling across the linoleum in the kitchen. Stupid cat.


Never walked on a map again though.

Using an extended index digit you move the required counter from it's current location, we shall call this location A, to it's desired location, for the sake of argument lets call this location B. This behaviour is mostly commonly termed "Pushing Cardboard".

On arrival at location B it is customary to role a small plastic cube called a die. This is a form of RNG from the days of powdered milk and ricketts.

It's usually about this time you sneeze and spend the next ten minutes hunting for the 2nd Pz Div under the couch.

My copy got ruined by water damage about 20 or so years ago. Never really played it (couldn't find an opponent) but looked at the maps and counters and read the rules.

Status: offline 		Growing up I had a dog that cleared off many a board. The first time I recall hearing my step-father curse up a blue straek was after we spent a good two hours setting up some Kursk pocket game only to have the board cleared by a breeze through an open window (No AC growing up).

On one of the other Matrix boards this was called "The hand of god" not to be confused with "The paw of cat". Both had the same effect.

Looks like a great game.

The two numbers on top right are armor value and speed class. The two numbers below that are high and low AA values. The white dots on bottom right are the anti-torpedo rating (1-6 possible)

The top left number of the transport units is their transport capacity.

Notice the renamed CVs are in but just have their hull numbers...no drug induced fantasy respawning/scrapping of historical ships.
