The Sherman: The best tank of World War II.
Nobody else is playing this game either? ASL killed this game before I got a chance to play it.
ASL Rocks!!!! \m/ (-_-) \m/
ASL didn't kill this game, silly person!I still play it!
I am currently reading the official history of the South African forces in East Africa in 1940/1941 and have taken "South Africa's War" down from the shelf for a game tonight.
I've played a couple of the the scenarios already, but look forward to one tonight.

Right now I'm in the middle of a solo play of Road to Berlin #32, Luck of the 21st Panzer. The Germans and Soviets are within a turn or two of colliding while a supply convoy is about to enter the map between the two forces! No time to talk now ... battle approaches!

Played Battle of the Bulge #1 - Interruption this weekend. It was more like a yawn fest, as the dice rolls were "backwards" - lots of 7s and 8s for attacks, 2s, 3s and 4s for morale checks and recoveries. At one time it looked bad for the Americans, when there were 4 platoons disrupted, but all but one bounced back on the first recovery roll.
I've often felt that BB #1 is primarily designed as an introductory (training) mission, nothing more. It lets you get your feet wet without overpowering you with size or subtle nuances. Regardless of the outcome, you know that the overall battle is progressing more or less as planned. A blown game here won't derail the historic outcome.

As an intro, that's exactly what I'm looking for. My son has a limited attention span. Therefore, I pick the small, easy ones so we can actually finish the game
Update: Today, as I got ready to continue this one I discovered that another opponent got the jump on me. It was a real CATastrophe! Now I will never know who would have won.Originally Posted by Mike Murphy
According to the other player, "cats rule!"

Anti Cat devices: Placing the box halves over the counters or taking a second piece of plexi and placing it over the game in progress using large dice spread around to hold up the upper plexi. Confounds the felines every time!

Better yet, I play in my office in the basement with a closed door. That's good because one of our cats is very playful and eager to jump up on my workbench (game table). The problem is that the only telephone is also in the office. Today, my daughter answered the phone and this particular cat managed to sneak in behind her. Not much you can do to prevent this short of duct-taping the beast to the wall (tempting thought at times).
