I am most excited - moist even!

Cool!

I'm really excited about Combat Commander - it looks pretty groovy, though I think I'll need to have a look around for tips on solo play...or just be honest.

Nice. That Forgotten Heroes is the 1st edition. Enjoy the fun. Try River of Perfume first.

Great title! I picked up a new copy from a local guy cheap and fell in love with the series. I have all them now except the (2) Pacific modules. Very fun series :D

There are a bunch of great files at BGG. Plus solo rules too ;)

Richie

Do you play it solo then? If so - any tips?

I will of course check over at BGG

Nope. I got twin boys ages 13/13 and they are my worst nightmare >:( They have autism and know the rules after reading them once

I have 2 games going at a time and never the same titles ;D

That's a bit cool. I'm checking rules every single time I play a game of anything.

Yeah it is! Course as we are playing games someone does something and we start going back and fourth about it, till I open the rules and they were right ;D

JudgeDredd · June 10, 2015, 02:11:19 PM

lol - can't teach an auld dog new tricks! ^-^

This guy actually does the best video I've ever seen of teaching a board game.

He sounds great, throws in some humour and knows his stuff (is he the creator of the game?)

Anyway - great video.

I'm surprised at how much is similar to Lock n Load's Band of Heroes game

I'm really looking forward to playing Combat Commander

Richie61 · June 11, 2015, 08:30:21 AM

LOL! I watched this video on my 60" TV before we read the rules. Great video! Plus the tutorial scenario at the end of the rule book that you can follow along is really good too. ;)
