I'm playing in a 5 player game of Compass Games' "Fall Blau" this weekend and am looking forward to it, especially since I've been playing a lot from "Valor of the Guards" lately so definitely in an East Front/Stalingrad type of mood.

Beautiful downtown Stalingrad...where every building has a skylight added to the ceiling and the vehicular traffic in the streets is virtually non-existent.Once posted to 'Der Ost' you may never come back........

It looks really good and has gotten excellent reviews. I think this will be my game choice this year for Father's Day.I have played 6 ftf so far
very very good
Very unique and imaginative!Just Played the Bagration Scenario from Victory Roads (Hexasim), very enjoyable. Some of the prettiest counters around. Nice chrome via randomly drawn (mainly) support counters and the Fuhrer 'satisfaction' track. Piss him off with too many unit withdrawals and dismissals will follow.
recommended.

How does this play? I have the VASSAL kit and such but not looked at it yet, would you suggest getting hold of it or just using the VASSAl module until happy?Setting up GTS game The Greatest Day,Saga of the 6th Airborne scenario for solo play.

We need a place to put that big new sofa. What about the Soviet Union?We played about 17 turns (out of 60!!) of "Fall Blau" yesterday. Big ass game; lots of fun, simple to learn. What impressed me the most? The expanse of Russia. WTF was Hitler thinking??

Mark,Perry,
Try it on VASSAL first as it does have a learning curve---if you like it then get it; I recommend it for the maps and counters alone as components are top notch work.
I really like the system. Assaults can be complex, command and control is well designed, just make sure what actions can be conducted for each command chit type and when. Oh yes, you can be shot at in the hex you are leavingMark,
from what I have seen on VASSAL it seems and looks very well done, and very pleasing to the eye. If I can get my head around ASL (just) then TGD should be no worries, just gotta find a copy for a good price my side of the pond now.
