    You are a machine. I won't ask how you find the time for all this. Happy to see you trying the combined game. We are about a start it after our second iteration of Sickle Cut (in which I as the French am losing even faster than in the historical situation). The clock is harsh in this game.

      He resigned his job, left his wife and abandoned his children. As any true and worthy wargamer should.

      Well, i mean, they refuse to play with me, so, what else could I do?

      It's funny, given how easy it's been to switch between games in this series [and how I've enjoyed it], I'm gonna start making the move to OCS and SCS!

    Which one is the easiet to play from this series?

    • @WiseGuyHistory
      @WiseGuyHistory  7 місяців тому +1

      Probably Salerno '43, though they're all very similar, and I think Ardennes '44 is the best!

    It is possible to get a PC version? I am new into that topic (well, I played board games 20 years ago) - I am able to find only board versions.

      Not that I'm aware of; I'm playing this via a Vassal module. If you're looking for similar PC games versus AI, you may want to check the 'Panzer Campaigns' series from Wargame Design Studio [ wargameds.com/ ] or the 'War in the East' and 'War in the West' series by Matrix Games [ www.matrixgames.com/ ].

      If you looking for nice hex war games to play on PC you should check out DOS games called V for Victory/Operation Crusader [Atomic Games studio] and High Command [Colorado Computer Creations - 1992]. If you look for something easier check out on google: battle for moscow oberlabs (playable thru browser-no need to install anything). Greetings😊

    You are really going through the 194x Simonech games!

      @WiseGuyHistory  7 місяців тому +2

      Yeah it's relatively easy to transition from one to another, and a whole heap of different gameplay experiences!

      @@WiseGuyHistory Good point, rules are very similar and you can play across a number of operations within WW2. I haven't tried the France 1940 game, how is that one?

      France '40 is my 'least played' in the series, and I've only previously played Sickle Cut [not yet Dynamo], but I figured I'd check out the combined game and see how it works.

    Played this a couple of times. Rommel rules. De Gaulle drools. But at least you can count on him being able to move.
