Status Report (August 5, 2012)

I've been getting the hang of Force on Force over the past few days. So far I've learned the basics of infantry combat, but since I don't really have too many armored vehicles, it might be a while before I can do some mechanized combat and see what that's all about.
Brody came over last night and we did a 15-minute or so skirmish between some 9 or so Cold War U.S. Infantry and I used 9 random figures I grabbed out of the bin just for the game.
He and I both enjoy the game quite a bit.
Now here comes the part where I always seem to fail: making up my mind.
Iran-Iraq War: Bloody, long, trench warfare, hundreds of casualties or the India-Pakistan Wars: Swift, short, lots of mechanized warfare, blitzkrieg-like tactics and medium to high casualties.Then there's the Yugoslav Wars: Long, mobile, bloody, fought in a series, a little more recent.
I'll make up my mind soon, maybe with a little help from Brody.
Stay tuned!

  1. Enjoy the process! I spent a month or so trying to decide a theater for shipwreck! before choosing Libya 1985. Forces have been ordered so now I'm just trying to work out campaign details.

  2. I'm starting to get used to FoF now too. The other day after a brake from playing, I came back and played for a while, after a few minutes realized I didn't have the book with me and was playing by memory!
    Iran Iraq sounds like it would be cool. I'm actually in the process of making Saddam era Republican Guard.
