JD, how to you BoB? I've been tempted to buy it the last two years at WBC. Are you soloing it as the Brits?

I was under the impression that it is a solitaire game.

I seem to recall there being an expansion or update that allows opposed play or solo play as either side.

The version I have has solo for both side and rules to play 2 player. Great game.

I own both the original and this new one. The original was a lot of fun to play, and so is the newer one. On top of that it gives you the 2-player option as well as a choice to solo as the Germans or Brits.

What they said. The game is playable as Germans, British or 2 player - no expansion - straight out the box.

I'm playing the Germans (again) because I like the raid planning. I will (one day) play as the RAF - though I had heard someone say it was a duller affair.

I'm not much of one for print-and-play so I picked it up for the extra counters (one and half sheets worth). I own all of the Next War games though so I know it will get used at some point.

Few pics from two games I played yesterday. First one was a 'Check Your Six!' Guadalcanal scenario. Second game was 'Spearhead' with an East Front '43 scenario:

Next War series looks good but GMT wants a premium on a non-deluxe printing.
