[WarInEur] Re: All options Game - a commentary

[Don Lazov]

Yes, I agree so far so good.

I have a 10-8 (with attrition and being out of supply it's really like a 
3-6) Panzer 2 hexes away from Paris on the Marne River line. Steve 
created a nice screen shot of my "Panzer" finger pointing to the gold.

This is the second turn of Case Yellow and both Holland and Luxembourg 
(I also believe since I took Liege) Belgium will also have fallen. 
Hoping to capture Paris in the next two weeks.

But after the French Campaign my spearheads will be spent and need to 
remain inactive for several weeks (to months).

Great fun and refreshing using all the options and the "new" attrition 
model.

Attrition is not for all, especially the "old" guard, but for new comers 
and those wanting the same game in a slightly different vein then...

Cheers...
