My regular partner in crime, Bryan, played CP at fall-in with the author. He setup a small, infantry only test game last night. He played the Germans and My US had their baptism of fire. I had read the rules but without owning the cards, I was fairly confused. Quick impression, plays fast and fun. We have a larger game set for Saturday that will have some heavy weapons and a vehicle or two. Here's a picture of the battlefield with Bryan's excellent scratch-built headge rows. The final butchers bill: US 2KIA, 3WIA. Germans 5KIA, 3WIA. I should have more after our next game.

Nice photo Dale. After reading back through the rules I realized that we made a couple of minor mistakes. We will remedy them on Saturday. Bryan |

Is this strictly a one on one player game or can more than one person play on a side? |

It can be played one-on-one, but is designed to scale up to 16 or more players. Each Action Deck supports one or two players, depending on your tastes. There are eight unique backs if you buy both sets A and B. The activation system was designed so that one person isn't doing stuff while everyone else watches. I routinely run six to eight player games and have fun larger ones. Still it is fun with just two players if that is what you prefer. |

I have just downloaded the free rules, and am reading through them. I and my friends have been looking for a skirmish game. |

Super. Let me know what you think. |
