I purchased the game because of the great reviews, and I was looking to expand my WW II Armor Combat Tactical game play, I am a Panzer junkie. I downloaded the rules and such, printed them out and was pleased with the rule system and ease of play, when my buddy drops by, we can run a quick game while we catch up on old times. I was very disappointed in printing out the games pieces, they are not a standard size, ( Letter/Legal), but with some creative pdf work, I was able to print out the counters. The maps are different story, they are too big and not the size you can print out on your home printer, causing me to check with local printers and online printing services, which would actually cost me more than the orginal box and that is not including the game download and supplies and time and effort, I was looking at 200.00 plus. Good game system, but I would suggest buying the boxed version and not the download version....

I must admit I approached this title with reservations after the first read, but it has pleasantly surprised me. The step of creating a boxer is pretty exciting, with many random traits being disadvantages that will affect your strategy. Granted, some are worse to cope with than others, but all in all it gives you the feeling that you are creating realistic boxers. You may even be a charismatic devil that gets points just out of charm!
As a dice chucker, it has a lot of impredictability. It is indeed easy to lose control of the fight if you are not careful with the bonus dice. It will force you to calculate carefully every move, especially during the first few rounds, which can be vital for the development of the rest of the fight.
The only weak point for me would be that the AI will sometimes eat through these dice like candy, leaving the reminder of the match entirely to pure luck, with mild advantages over your stats, though this is easily fixable with some house rules (in my ca...

There are a lot of zombie games out there, but they tend to focus on human-vrs-human violence with the zombies as an afterthought, or one-off battles with the undead, usually in a dense urban setting.
County Road Z is unique because it returns the focus to survival and cooperation against the zombie menace in a rural area. That means building a base for your survivors, staffing your kitchen and infirmary, building up some working vehicles, etc. Then, when you do go out to battle the hordes, it's for a purpose; you need food, medicine, supplies to improve your base, and of course, rescuing stray survivors. Because, in County Road Z, other people are a vital resource, not always a rival gang to fight. ...

This is an excellent 'playset' with 28mm paper figures, drawn with a front and back side. Included are Lawrence, his Arab irregulars, and their Turkish opponents. some of the Arabs are mounted on nicely drawn camels. The Arabs are drawn with a mixture of rifles and Lewis guns, while the Turks have rifles and Maxim machine guns. They can also be printed at 15mm for those with limited space.
There is also a rather rusty looking locomotive and three cars, looking the worse for Lawrence's efforts. Four 'fire' markers will complement the train nicely, and serve as a good background for you battles.
It is worth noting that Lawrence had access to a couple of Rolls Royce armored cars, which are available in another Sundered Vault collection, as are suitable Mesopotamia Campaign British and Turks, and a set of machine guns and heavy artillery.
This series, drawn is a most pleasing style, is growing rapidly, and fills a gap that has long plagued wargamers. I plan to u...
