Yes it does SoM.  I just played around with it for a few minutes, but that is the case with all Tiller games.

I both love you and hate you right now, Bison.  ;)

I'm feeling conflicted to say the least.

Tiller's UI always drives me crazy in these games but he generally picks subject matter I enjoy and I usually end up liking the game in spite of the UI.

Jarhead's comment about diving for cover almost set the hook.

I've got too much on my dang plate right now, but I'm hearing the siren's song.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I would love to see a detailed AAR for this game or one like it in the series.  I believe I tried one of the games in the series, but did not hold my attention for some reason but yet this should be the type of game I love.  Maybe with an AAR something will click with me and make this a must buy for me:)

I could do that.  But not sure when I'll get around to it.

Here you go. 

I wrote 3 AARs in The Blitz

And here's one in my Blog

These are not about the First World War.  :(

I'll throw together an AAR.

I played the first few turns of a scenario today.  Good schiznit.  It'll take some time to learn how to effectively use the new chemical rules and accept the high number of casualties.

Yeah but they may have too many BARs.

EDIT: Iwas right; the BAR didn't see much service in WW I. They were produced but not widely distributed.
