Working very well (apart from the mud). I will have to check out the sale. As Michael says, GMT website is good. Their "living rules" concept works well. With KtR being part of the Eastern Front series there are plenty of complexities to the rules and some challenges.Sun of Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07315805432481558574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-7099296218064058782015-10-31T00:34:56.316+09:002015-10-31T00:34:56.316+09:00You're right, Micheal.

It's probably too much to ask for an error-free game out of the box, so better to get one later than not at all!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />AaronPrufrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659918463589870423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-13166027301247278492015-10-31T00:33:25.639+09:002015-10-31T00:33:25.639+09:00Shaun, that's the story of my wargaming life :...Shaun, that's the story of my wargaming life :) Hear good stories, think 'that's all I'll ever need for X era!' not play, reconsider, buy 15m, (or 6mm) figures, not paint them, go back to board game some years later, play ;-)Prufrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659918463589870423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-36252324807921473562015-10-31T00:31:17.932+09:002015-10-31T00:31:17.932+09:00You've summed it up better than me, John!

It is very high on my list and you have reminded me how well people rave about it. Not sure if i should thank you or not :-). And of course, I have not actually played with any of the game I have acquired :-( Every time I think about it, i get out my miniatures instead!Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-66872005333400895492015-10-30T04:52:23.495+09:002015-10-30T04:52:23.495+09:00What looks good about this game is that there seem...What looks good about this game is that there seems to be a low amount of counters and a smaller map. In short, it looks like a good strategic game and does not force you to be too overly fiddly. I have not played but it might be one worth checking out.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580996687227953658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-87079041811901081562015-10-30T04:35:25.113+09:002015-10-30T04:35:25.113+09:00Dude, I played the crap out of this.

The designer gave excellent support on BGG so I had no problems with the rulebook issues when it first came out. The 50 percent sale had me buying No Retreat: Italy. It reminds me a bit of Anzio by Avalon Hill. You must keep this in mind though, do not buy either of the others you mention thinking they are going to be just like Russian one. They are somewhat similar but each has it's own ambiance. <br /><br />Cheers<br />KevinKevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496898036305134720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-32665152602942432382015-10-30T03:20:24.911+09:002015-10-30T03:20:24.911+09:00It sounds good!It sounds good!The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.com
