With the new MMP website up I was looking at their other games.
Anyone play any of these? What are they like please?

Perhaps but whatever helps keep MMP above water is a benefit to ASL. It's just a small heresy.I smell heresy here....
Looking at the SCS (Standard Combat Series) games they look like OCS with the overload on logistics cut out.One can find quite a few good games in the international game series.
I can imagine that are some specialists of OCS around but the maps are a complete turn-off imo (plus the excessive stress on logistics).
OCS? OMOOT. Tried looking it up on the Google but none of the answers seemed to apply.Looking at the SCS (Standard Combat Series) games they look like OCS with the overload on logistics cut out.
I am still in the hunt for a VASSAL opponent for an exploratory game of 11th Panzer on the Chir, Rostov '41, or Autumn for Barbarossa.
Hi Ian.Which ones are you interested in Joe ?
Hi Joe,Hi Ian.
I saw DAK (part of the operational combat series) for sale on eBay here in the UK a while ago. The price (very expensive) and the description got me wondering what the game system was like. The description stated that you needed a barn to lay the map out fully.
So looking at the new website I got to wondering what this stuff was like. Am I missing out on something?
Also the business part of my brain kicked in and I wondered how successful MMP was in producing non ASL stuff.
Do you play any of the other MMP products?
What difference between BCS and OCS?The BCS (Battalion Combat Series) games from The Gamers are also a lot of fun. There are three released so far - Kasserine 43 (Baptism by Fire) smallest and easiest to learn), the 44 Ardennes campaign (Last Blitzkrieg) is massive but fun to play, and Operation Crusader (Blazing Chariots) covering a massive desert battle in Nov/Dec 41.
a very interesting question, Joe. Is ASL propping all the other games up, or are all the other games propping ASL up? The relative margin of all these products would be extremely interesting to know, but we will never know, will we?.Also the business part of my brain kicked in and I wondered how successful MMP was in producing non ASL stuff.

That was exactly what was going through my mind Magnus...........Is ASL propping all the other games up, or are all the other games propping ASL up? The relative margin of all these products would be extremely interesting to know, but we will never know, will we?.
What difference between BCS and OCS?
I shy away from OCS because of the heavy logistics rules (I prefer the classic and simple SCS on that aspect) : is the BCS lighter?
Robin,BCS is really good, and the new one has just gone on preorder.
