Year Summary - II

 

Main game of 2014 (in terms of commitment and time at the table) was It Never Snows.

This game belongs to Standard Combat Series by The Gamers and depicts the well-known Operation Market-Garden at WWII.

We have played with historical deployment. Initial turns rapidly marked the overall outcoming of the play as XXX Corps was rapidly stopped at the main road to Eindhoven. Allied spent a lot of turn to clear the road and advance towards the bridges. American paratroopers were well placed and in condition to secure the bridges as most of them were not blown by Germans. However British were quickly surrounded.

Although our feeling is that historical campaign is impossible for Allied we have enjoyed the game. Gameplay is fast and rules are easy. At the beginning we had some issues with road move that needs to be fully understood to correctly play.

Some of the initial jumps:
