Sarge and I played a 5.5 turn SS v Russian scenario this afternoon. I had the SS and believed this to be a lost cause at the end of my Turn 3. German needs to take 17 building locations in 5.5 turns. German has a very small force 11 squads vs 20 Russian squads. Leadership and support is effectively equal.
At the end of Turn 3 I had 5 broken squads with only 1 building take. Rallied the troops and finally began to wither the Russian defenses. Pictures start with the end of German Turn 1 (12) and finishes off with the end of Game (prior to final German advance phase)

Bounding Fire HG2 Update: Everything is printed, just need to trim down the Scenario cards, collate them, and assemble the packets.

How high is a stack of 6000 ASL boards?

I can’t exactly answer that question in inches, but I can share what it looks like. I visited the printers on Friday and signed off on the last details, and was able to peek into the production area and see HG2 in process. It is very impressive to see our hard work in its final state.

That is a palette full of all four maps for High Ground 2 being processed for packaging.

The scenarios cards have been printed as well, and I think it is very interesting to see them in the form that they are produced. There are basically half of the scenario cards shown in the picture, and they get printed together on large rolls and then trimmed down to normal size.

Everything is on track to get production wrapped up soon. I expect to have them in my hands by the end of the month, and in your hands soon after that, especially if I see you at ASLOK!

Thanks,

Sam Tyson

Sarge and I playtested one of the titles that may be included in the giant East Front package that Chas speaks of on the Gamesquad Forums. Using my new flip video camera, I recorded the playing until the battery ran out and want to share it with you but because it is HD video the file size exceeds the allowed limits of this website.

Russians are on the offensive, Germans are defending board 56. Each side has approx 20 squads and 5 vehicles.  Scenario moves very quicky as the Russians enter from offboard and need to reach hexrows N-R in order to get to the victory buildings. 

I lost all of my vehicles to Sarge excellent anti-armor tactics, but tanks can’t take buildings. My first and second line Germans were able to break up his infantry and keep them away from all of the buildings until turn turn 6 of seven.  Scenario came down to the last turn which is not on the video. Russians (Sarge) were able to take 1 of 4 victory buildings. It is a nice, tight little scenario that will be perfect for tourney play.
