It's all Bob's fault. I played it once with a friend, but Bob is a huge fan of the series - so I jumped in  ;D

The Band of Brothers system is really good, it truly is one of those "simple to learn, hard to master" systems. I like that each player has something to do at any moment, there isn't any waiting around, you are engaged the entire game.
Also good to see Jim Krohn went with a unit and campaign that typically receives scant coverage for the third game.
For those, like me that are eagerly awaiting the game, here is some reading on the 36th Infantry Division "Texas Arrows", the Rapido campaign and southern France.

I've just finished some reading about the Italian campaign and would love to get this on the table. Thanks for the additional references; I'll be adding those to my reading list.

My KS set of 3 games and all the goals came in today! I wish my life wasn't so busy and I could game all day long  :'(

Nothing here yet, either. I suspect I'll see them yet this week though. Maybe get one on the table this weekend.

I checked, and there are no paratroopers under the bushes or panzers on the front step.  :(
