Campaign for North Africa Slurp-fest !

Due to space limitations and with all my board games in storage, I have been using VASSAL for most games and VASL for ASL.

However I have been working with some folks on an electronic Europa system.



This is from the Enter Rommel scenario. The program keeps track of movement points, AECA/AECD/ATEC, engineering ratios, air combat, ground combat etc.

Its pretty neat.

I think vassal is a good idea......but you can never beat the sheer scale and impression of a huge map board-game. I am happy that I have the space now.....without having to use the dining room table...........and I find that you get more intimate with your units/forces when you have to pick them up and place them; there is some kind of neural link in this process between your fingers and brain which is lacking in using a mouse pointer and aids in remembering stuff rather than quick mouse pointer clicking.............it would be a good idea to shove the Europa Russian front on vassal system. .

"SSsssshh !"...............Top Secret Communique........Beep !.......Coded transmissions have been intercepted between Decision Games and the Fuhrer-Bunker.....Beep!. ...........decipherment has been difficult and from what can be pieced together from said transmissions.......Beep !..........our intelligence operatives have managed to decode that the announcement of the date of release is imminent...... Beep !.......This information is classified and if you spread it; I will deny everything.....plausible deniability.....Beep !.....

DO NOT FORGET TO BUY YOUR WAR BONDS !.....

My feeling about this is that it has been too long a wait and my enthusiasm has waned in proportion.......this may change if it is a viable and fantastic piece of work ; like Atlantic Wall but even with computer admin aids in play - it may still be a Sand Dune Too Far......Beep ! ................................... End of Transmission......... .

Pity DG is reworking it, it won’t be the same, as the original, DG track record sucks on these rehashes.

I think with this one; the expectation will be too high; as the original has almost legendary status, so they will fail to a fair degree, whether they like it or not. Better that they have a GO !......I give them points for that. .
