Is Nevsky good? Operational medieval sounds cool, flipping through the rulebook seems ok except for the dice combat

I've read through the rules and I'm anxious to play it. Dice combat will be fine for wargamers, but maybe turn off people coming from COIN. The CDG aspect is less random than I feared since (for the most part) it looks like you get to choose which cards you use from your entire deck. There really is far less info about it online than I'd expect for a Volko game introducing a whole new system. I guess counterinsurgency is more exciting than logistics?

That was rude of me--I guess I'm just jealous. I'm super excited about this game because it's part of my long-range strategy to grasp ASL by slowly ramping up the difficulty of the games I play. My Plan: D-Day Dice --> ASL

gently caress you guys, I just got into scale modeling for stupid reasons and now you're making ASL sound really attractive.

Are there any accessible yet reasonably complex games centered on logistics and supply? Like that part is more a part of gameplay than moving troops and shooting.

Race to the Rhine? Although it’s almost a Euro. Otherwise Nevsky but I haven’t played it yet. Or just get Reluctant Enemies

Smolensk and beyond the rhine are good. The rulebook is thick, but most of it is filled with examples and clearly explaining the rules. Best rulebooks I've read in years.

Next War Supplement #2 from GMT showed up with all the new COIN stuff. Intial pass through it is that it seems reasonable for the system but a little on the thin side gameplay wise, maybe? Only one way to tell though. Also Wings of the Motherland is apparently shipping today, like right now, so yay seasonal miracles. We really need a :grognard: smilie around here.

I really wish there was an upgrade kit for next war, because the changes seem significant enough to actually need an upgrade and its gonna be a pain in the rear end to get a 2e copy

Kinda out of character for them since they offer it for everything else. Maybe it's niche enough that they're not bothering? System seems pretty popular though.

GMT has a couple upcoming quasi-wargames about the interwar era, Versailles 1919 and The Weimar Republic. Anyone getting interested in these? Both have solo modes but I think I would only get one of them. I mean I shouldn't get either of them given my overloaded collection, but that's my cross to bear I guess.

I p500’d Versailles a long time ago. Which means it will never come out (looking at you, Mr President and The Russian Campaign). Sorry about that.

Next War Supplement 2 came in the mail and there's a Beluga Whale counter for Russia lmao Also does anyone who follows MMP stuff know about their supposed release of A Magnificent Disaster? I wanted to get into that game series and it seemed perfect to wait for the AMD bundle but they announced it and there's been like no news since. I also reserved a copy of 1985: Deadly Northern Lights. 1985 is probably one of my favorite wargames besides the Next War series and I'm super stoked its getting an expansion. Also anybody have any news regarding Streets of Stalingrad 4? Last I heard it was cancelled, but revived as "War of The Rats" Phi230 fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Dec 27, 2019 |

Though on the other hand, it does share a name with this extremely good Steam game:quote:Mr.President! Can you take a bullet for the soon to be President of the United States of America?! You play as Dick “Rock-Hard” Johnson a bulletproof man, the best bodyguard money can buy. He is sworn to protect the most hated presidential candidate of all time Ronald Rump.
