…The former grunt took his love of hobby gaming and the deeper theory and practices of high-level wargaming and said to himself, "Why isn't there something besides non-military role-playing games or Axis and Allies for the enlisted leader?"…

I've playtested this, it's a really great system and we are likely to be using this on one of my training courses. We are looking at a UK Royal Marines variant at the moment as well

Nice to hear that a hobby can lead to useful things in the "real world."

That's great. Probably more fun than SPI's Firefight from the 1970s.

This looks neat but I enjoyed firefight as well. Cityfight was a bear.

I watched it at Connections last month. The Marine that developed it already works for the Marine Wargaming group and had help from the Dietz Foundation. Judging based on the designer's intent I think it succeeds. It also compliments the other board game the Marines are working on, the Assassins Mace.
