Started to play the boardgame Barbarossa: Kiev to Rostov by
GMT Games with Richard today. More information
on the game which is part of their Eastern Front Series can be found here: http://www.gmtgames.com/p-137-barbarossa-kiev-to-rostov.aspx. While it is certainly complex, it plays
well. The introductory material on this
website, http://www.wargalley.com/efs/index.php,
was very helpful and a good way to introduce a game to new players.
I had grown up with SPI’s War in the East and Panzer Group
Guderian, so while this was familiar territory, the game mechanics and detail
was refreshing and interesting.
I like the look of these games but I think they're a tad too deep/complex for me at this point in life. I need less brain burner and quicker resolution because I limited time and brain capacity.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing what you have to say about it.
With a few turns completed the mechanics were becoming clear and the game was playing well. The sheer scale of the game would make undertaking the full campaign a serious commitment of time and table space.
