WWII: Barbarossa To Berlin game on table and some interesting Piquet news..............

Got WW2BTB on to table for a solo play.

Been awhile and struggled a bit remembering some of the special (chrome) rules but still a very fun game to play even solo.

Barbarossa was a bit of a damp squib for Germans but now threatening Moscow (with Taifun card in hands) but only just as winter draws in, Allies got both Soviet Reinforcement cards early so looking pretty strong on Ost front.






















In other news Brent Oman has a new rule set in progress (due out late August early September) from the Piquet stable entitled 'Battle Command' (not being touted as replacement for Field of Battle just an alternative covering same period ie 1700-1900AD).

Details somewhat sparse but seems it will retain the combat and move systems of Field of Battle but with new reduced card deck but with each card offering possible multiple actions and no 'dud' cards as such. Apparently the CinC quality has more effect on proceedings.

I have thoroughly enjoyed all of Brent designs over the years so looking forward to this one.

  1. As much as I love Field of Battle, I think more choices has a potential to be very interesting.

    1. The primary and secondary actions combined with odds/evens looks interesting indeed.
