Great Battles is a truly awesome game! I have played 4 different
battles using these rules. We have covered France 1940, Western Europe in
'45, Russia in '42, and Burma in '43. They truly make you feel like an Army or
Corps commander. You are not worrying about the minor tactical issues that
are more appropriate to smaller scale rules. This is how WW2 was fought and
won!
I have always been amazed how gamers are strangely reluctant to fight modern conflicts at a larger scale than, say, some Napoleonic rules that currently exist. Well, these rules should change that! Their handling of multiple-day battles is truly innovative! I cannot wait for the next book due out. The only real problem that I have with these rules is what scale (figs) to concentrate on. I use 20mm and 15mm. I also would like a more thorough description of how the activation works, and how to set up for different scenarios. You don't need to remount, so go, run quickly to your local store and buy these rules! |

Great Battles of WWII is a great system. I'm really impressed by the concept behind it, but the editing is extremely poor. |
