Are there any reviews of Living on the Front Line?

[CarlLeyland]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has seen a review of Living on the Front Line? Any thoughts? Anyone doing this as a project? Maybe I am just looking for an excuse to buy some FV432's off Grubby Tanks but a bit of information on the system would be great.

Thanks

There was a review in Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy this month and they seemed quite taken with it.  A few blogs have also been favourable.

I would be into the game and period but my local gaming group here in Germany aren't - which is a shame as there are parallels here what with the Baader-Meinhof gang and potential East German sympathizers...

I did a brief report:

And have been doing some suitable scenery:

Jargo, of course I never realised that Germany had a lot going on around the 79 period as well!

 Monkey-I followed your site recently, I heard about the rules from you....your buildings are just amazing. Your games look like film sets.

I have it, but haven't played it

It looks ok, but a number of the pictures are repeated through the book. That said, I will be getting the supplement too.

Cheers Bindon. Can I ask what scale people are using for this?

Interesting how well do you think the rules would work c
For ultra modern?

In the rules, an assault is just an assault rifle, etc., so should work from WW2 all the way up to Near Future. It's not the weapon but the man using it that counts!

The game won an award in Miniature Wargames, was reviewed in WSS and has one supplement so far, another Winter of '79 one in the works and variations of the core game being worked on.
