@andy I'm a big fan. I've only played a few games, but I really like the quick and interesting game play. I painted up the UN/TFB starter set, and then ordered reinforcements. A buddy and I are working on running a #kriegsspiel style campaign locally.

„Wie können Tausende verwundete Soldaten möglichst schnell versorgt werden? Wie sähen Transportwege durch Europa aus? In Ulm übt die NATO für den Ernstfall - analog mit einer Art Brettspiel.“

Dnd turns 50 and something else turns 200
(he's talking about #kriegsspiel which created wargaming and predicated a lot of #ttrpg elements)

So, I'm playing in my second #kriegsspiel campaign. If you are interested in military history this game is a must-play. It is slow and needs a saint for a GM, but all those "idiotic" generals making obvious blunders in the history books take on a new dimension when you realize how little they knew about any situation.
Here's the recap of our first campaign, put together by the GM. I was Ruchel.

#Gamchanger !!!
Wie bitte ??? Das ist nur ein #Kriegsspiel ??
Für mich einfach nur unfassbar.
Updating my bare bones rules, based on the idea that a referee runs a game rather than a massive rulebook.
Think Matrix wargame, Kriegspiel and Braunstein as a source of inspiration and play type.
Although the pdf is currently 8 pages it is actually less than that of actual rules. Most of the game is derived from the negotiations between players and a referee. Ironically an faq about it will probably be longer than the rules themselves.
