Rommel

Rommel, by Sam Mustafa, is likely the best WW2 game I have ever played. I had a chance to re-acquaint myself with it this summer at Bruce's place and I think we're on deck to play several times over the winter.

Bruce hosted a very messy German counter offensive on the Russian front. There was a huge amount of terrain in the middle of the table, which pushed play to the flanks. Interestingly, both sides made quick thrusts to capture the other's supply base, impeding future momentum.


In the end, it was a bloody Russian win as the Germans ran out of time and tanks.


I've got some 3mm WW2 figures I painted up a few years back and am keen to run a desert game this fall.

I need to spend a bit of time working up some scenic entrenchment markers as well as a tiny bit more terrain.
