Alan, thanks for this play-through. Like you, I'm a kickstarter backer, keenly awaiting my copy. Seeing the final version laid out, it looks even better than planned. Appreciate the solo play-through. These days I tend to play any new game solo, then, if I think it will work, introduce them to the blokes I play with, playing either collaboratively, or competitively. Reviews like yours help enormously.
I’m a bit confused as to you playing the first military directive card Fall Blau 1 at the start- do you ignore the prerequisite condition? Forgive my ignorance but this is the first war game I have bought
Its a good Point. The setup has Fall Blau I & II in hand with Taifun still in the deck. So the card has been preselected by the scenario. As Taifu happened in 1941 it may be a typo somewhere.
@@TheBlueTweezers thanks for the reply. In fact 3 of the 4 military directives set up cards have the same prerequisite. I have had this set up on my table since it arrived and being my first war game I’m finding it a bit daunting to get started 🤔

I too was a UK kickstarter backer. Received the game this week, played it solo and very much introducing this to some hard core WW2 gamers soon!
