"New little Postcard Murmansk (Run) game ... scenarios?" Topic

Over here in Norway, my children – son 15 and taller than me and daughter 13 – and I went to see the new Norwegian film KONVOI, to be released in the US as The Arctic Convoy … based on the Convoy PQ 17 disaster, from a merchant ship captain and crew's perspective … sort of the other side from Das Boot.
It was very good, and I was triggered to do another of my little postcard games, link – much simpler than my bigger Murmansk Run.

We test-played a couple turns at Ares Krigspillklubb Oslo and greatly enjoyed it.

It is fairly fast to play its 12 seasonal turns.

My games are not public domain, but anyone is free to print off your own personal copies, and anyone is free to print off my postcard games en masse – and unaltered – in postcard size – 4x6/A6 or 5x8/A5 – and format, to mail/give to family and friends.

Enjoy.

Thank You for sharing this game with us all.

Looks great, I'll see if I can give it a go

Loouis, this is a great effort. I will most definitley take advantage of this. Here is Louis' website with other games:

Thank you for the heads up. Your game looks great and our group may give its a shot. I hope the movie makes it to a local theater or non-streaming TV.

Thanks for your interest in my game, guys.

If you do play it, I'd really appreciate your feedback.

Note that the full Rules Document available on its webpage includes a Gameturn Sequence and Example of Play.

By the way, note that the game does have a shorter 6-turn option, with Victory Condition modifications. The 12-turn game gives the Allies time to catch up. B-)

Wow, are you the author/creator of Sturm Nach Osten? I got a copy of a hand-typed version of that in 1973-74 from a guy in one of my wife's college classes. Pretty certain this was before it was published by 3W?? I lost it over several apartment/house moves, but it was around the time I first bought Panzer Blitz and other AH and SPI Eastern Front games. Lots of good memories of the first forays into board games, just prior to getting interested in miniatures gaming.

Excellent site!

Check out the article on Katyn.

And a great source for paper ship counters!

Those were indeed the good old days, MJ.
I even sent the DTP SnO in a legal size envelope for its legal size map pieces. :-)
Its even more beautiful, licensed edition by Japan's/Mas's Six Angles goes for a premium on eBay.

Early on, I learned never to sell away my copyright.

D, after her talk to the Juneau (Alaska) World Affairs Council in 1986, I got Bush1's go-to kremlinologist Martha Mautner to concede that the truth coming out about the 1940 Katyn Massacre could bring down the Soviet regime … and State then started taking it seriously as the Silver Bullet glasnost issue … and it did so.
Stalin never allowed mere economics to get in his way.
