A quick scan looks goid. Though I do wish it had a campaign systematic actual names crew etc. Maybe a future expansion will do it. More tanks included than I imagined which is cool.

Question
I went to NWS, what do they mean by a Ready Shelf Game? What's it missing?


Wow, NWS is cheap on everything
Thanks

I checked a couple of games and when I used the pull down menu for 'Ready Shelf' it gave a total of how many were left in stock.

I have to keep NWS in mind; I had forgot about them selling board games. Nice prices and he will try to match or beat other offers.


I found a game I was looking for $25 cheaper than the usual places I buy my games.


Edit: I changed 'Shelf Ready' to 'Ready Shelf' because I entered it wrong.

Just read and played through the tutorial and it's one hell of a game.

Solo system is rock solid aswell. Very exciting stuff indeed. Immersive and tense.

Hope a campaign system is designed as a future expansion.

Status: offline 		Not at all. You are best playing both sides a few times then move onto the solo game.

It's all played using cards, no endless dice rolls no masses of charts either.

Just reading the tutorial playthrough was exciting stuff.

The solo bot Robota looks solid and well designed.

This should become a classic, esp as a solo game. Designer has said Campaign system coming out in future if it sells well which I believe it is, would be a crime if it didn't.

Add a campaign and we definitely have an all time classic on our hands. Currently one of the best solo wargame experience I've had.

The tutorial is very detailed and I love the artwork and hard stock. Lot's of fun to be had.

Status: offline 		I still haven't opened it and watched a video yesterday. I have to try it this weekend. For some reason, I buy the games and I don't open them. I just bought Fire in the Lake as well. I wanted to do a video on the unboxing but didn't have a device to keep the camera steady.

What is the best device for filming a game on a table?
