Philippines 1941 with Combat Patrol
« on: March 05, 2018, 01:01:30 PM »


I recently ran a fun game with Combat Patrol(TM): WWII set in the Philippines in 1941.  The Americans were trying to slow or stop the Japanese advance.  The game had a lot of new and young players, but it ran well, was a lot of fun, and was undecided until the end.

That looks like a great game Buck, Combat Patrol always seems to deliver an exciting game right to the end.

Excellent write up.
You don't see many early WWII games set in the Pacific.
