Reviews:
This publication has been rated: 8/10 by 2 users. Write a review| Graphics are back! Michael Rodgers: 10.0 out of 10. [Review score: -1] [Agree] [Disagree] For the first time in ages, Schwerpunkt is using graphics in the counters on their scenario cards. I appreciate that a lot. One scenario has a neat photo of Dutch soldiers; one of them has struck a "leader pose". |
Paolo Cariolato: 6.0 out of 10. [Review score: 0] [Agree] [Disagree] The SP scenarios are getting shorter whitout getting better. No fresh ideas, that said, I dutiful purchased this one an played some scenarios. My mind hasn't changed. You can live without it. The article from White is good as usual. |
