John Tiller Games Sale...?

Anyone have on opinion on their Jutland game?

I bought it when it first came out, and was not impressed with JT's "Naval Campaign" system.  I bought "Wolfpack" only because it is the only game I know of that allows you do do WWII ASW.   A better game dealing with WWI naval combat (IMHO) is the "Steam and Iron" system from NWS:

Used the discount for "Wolfpack".  The ability to play as the ASW force,
as mentioned above, pushed me over the top.

I've wanted to buy a Panzer Battles title (there are 4)...which one has the lowest unit counter density with smaller battle scenarios?

There are 3 titles for sale. The one is a demo you can download for free. North Africa probably has the

I agree with Mark, North Africa probably has your lowest counter density of the three.

I'll probably pick up a title of two before it expires. Looking to try a civil war title for the first time. Gettysburg  is what I'm thinking as that's the battle i know the most about, are there plenty of medium or small scenarios or are they all big/ huge variety. Those new maps look good.

Gettysburg has plenty of small to medium scenarios to play. Really good game.

Anybody have any recommendations for the most accessible game in this collection?  I simply don't have the time and energy to dedicate to the hobby these days, but would love an enjoyable easy title (preferably WW II).  One of the Panzer Battles series?

There are demos available for the Panzer Battles,  Panzer Campaigns, and Napoleonic series that you can try. Personally I find the Squad Battles series the easiest to get into.

There's a demo for the SB series as well - http://www.johntillersoftware.com/Demos.php

A lot depends on scale that interests you most... there's 4 scales to choose from in the WWII topics:

Strategic - WWII In Europe - http://www.johntillersoftware.com/StrategicWar.html
Operational - Panzer Campaigns - http://www.johntillersoftware.com/PanzerCampaigns.html
Grand Tactical - Panzer Battles - http://www.johntillersoftware.com/PanzerBattles.html
Tactical - Squad Battles - http://www.johntillersoftware.com/SquadBattles.html

Given your criteria I would direct you to the Squad Battles series, specifically Red Victory or Eagles Strike to start - and then the Panzer Battles games would be the next in line.
