A Full Preview of Frontline General: Spearpoint 1943 is now complete and online!
Issue 14 of Frontline General News is now complete and online! This issue is dedicated to previewing Frontline General: Spearpoint 1943, our new tense and fast-playing WWII tactical card game. I am excited to provide you with a full preview of the game in the feature article, including component artwork and function, rules, and a detailed example game with plenty of illustrations. Also included are design notes that cover various elements of the game, and explain the thought processes behind certain rules and design decisions. I hope that you'll enjoy reading Issue 14 and after doing so, will consider pre-ordering the game. CEW is completely ready for production of Spearpoint 1943, but we are waiting on some additional pre-orders before we invest in our first large print-run of the title.
Here is a direct link to the 13 Mb PDF.
