French managed to continue recovery from dire straits but only just.
They managed to Rally several units including restoring hits something the Russians failed to do.
Russians sat with no Morale chips (which effects Rally attempts) for several card draws but did pass their first Army Morale test but not their second (rolling equal) so were defeated.
As ever (even with Pdf version) FOB gave a great solo game experience.
Fundamentally FOB3 is as per FOB2 but with enough differences to require re-learning.
I must try to remember (ie read the cards !) that units can potentially Maneuver on Leadership cards now as old Maneuver card has gone, I think I might have forgotten this once or twice.
Hoping when rules and decks arrive to launch into Seasons Of Battle with a Seven Years War background to try to learn this system.
Excellent game and report, Gary. I have been participating in a series of playtest games of an FoB3 variant for the WotR, and also have to remind myself about the Daring Deeds, and the Maneuver on the Leadership card.
ReplyDeleteYes couple of FOB2 things to 'unlearn' but otherwise an nice update to a classic :-)
