Game Design

Sam discusses his game design preferences and philosophy as previously discussed in WR 113. Sam gives a few more points to those wanting to get into this part of the hobby.

Aurelian

Adrian & Jonathan briefly share thoughts on the game they have played and enjoyed.

Rommel

Rommel is a tabletop game of great battles in the European and Mediterranean theatres of the Second World War. The player takes the role of a general commanding an entire division, or elements of several divisions, or an entire corps or even an army. Units represent companies and battalions. Tens of thousands of men and machines clash for control of miles of territory. Make decisions about the application of air power, engineering, the use of reconnaissance, the commitment of mobile reserves, and many other things.

Sam take the time to talk about its conception and how it fills the gaps between all other WW2 games.
