We played last weekend. Great multiplayer beer and pretzels club game that relies on standard Lardies' conventions. We had 6 players and I never felt bored or like I had to wait long to do my part. On the flip side, I doubt it would be much fun for 1-on-1 games and it would get fussy (in my opinion) for a single player to try and run more than a couple of tanks.  Wish they could have produced cardboard dashboards and a card deck to go along with it, but I guess it would have been prohibitive pricewise.

Intersting thoughts, we are playing our first game 1 on 1 but will have 2 tanks each. I suspect 2 or 3 tanks per person would be max for comfort.

On Wed 3 of us played a 15mm Desert Game for 1940 with 4 vehicles per side. I had 4 Italian M11/39s and apart from remembering which was which as they were un-numbered, it worked fine. Needless to say the new player (not me) won the day. It went down to the wire when the last of the M11/39s went down to the remaining 2 Brit tanks.
Cheers,

Had a two player (3 tanks each) game on Wednesday night. A great laugh. Such a fun game with a lot going for it. Can't wait for my next game. May even start buying bigger 28mm tanks instead of using my 15mm's. Hummm.

Highly recommended.
