I brought it along to the conference and I think we probably had a dozen games over the weekend so possibly 20 or so different players had a go.

It was the first time I'd seen a British victory which was achieved with good timing and economy of force; at least two attacks succeeded with a margin of one assault point.

Well done for winning with the British. It is undoubtedly hard.

I hope the demo leads to a few people trying X Corps and the soon to released III Corps (due 01 August). They both offer a more balanced game.

The British attack worked after only a four day bombardment too. Very impressive.

I usually judge the game result based against the historical outcome (which makes a game British 'victory' quite easy, if you care about that sort of thing).

It would be great if we could buy the packs of cards instead of having to print them out and cut them up.

There was a lot of interest in where it was available from and one player has already downloaded X Corps since the weekend.

As you may have seen from the victorious British player's blog he's likely to be interested in III Corps in particular.

Hi Guys

Printed cards are on our "to do" list but after we've finished the five game series. III Corps is done so only two left to do.

I wondered why there has been a surge in sales of X Corps in the last few days. ;-)

Guys, guys, you're embarrassing me. Yes, it was a brilliant victory making the use of superior skill and judgement and perfect timing.

Can't explain exactly how I got so badly stuffed second time around……

Just checked the website. III Corps doesn't include the rules, so need to buy X Corps as well to play it.

Think you might have lost a sale there, unless III Corps is only a few dollars.

III Corps will be $8.99 USD. X Corps is $14.50 USD.
