Turning the Tables (TTT)

Just completed a month long PBEM game of TTT against Tim the Merciless. Despite accounts of the games imbalance favouring Germans. Tim managed attack the Germans with high odds in th initial turns and caused quite a lot step losses on the Germans. A masterly display of Schwerpunkt by the Russians.

My comments on BGG....

"Terrible thrashing at the hands of Tim the Merciless. The fun and playable game mechanics. The initial Soviet attacks can be very deadly to the Germans, Basically, inflicting step losses to the German player consistently for 2 turns with high odds attacks. The Soviet player actually won with an automatic victory in turn 2. It could also be a case of the German player not running far enough."

Fire in The Sky

Ran a few turns of Fire in The Sky against Dennis the Relentless. Its an interesting game with a fun battle mechanic, albeit a bit confusing during the first game. The game seems a lot more promising than Empire of the Sun. Empire of the Sun was very fiddly.
