These just keep getting better and better. I've heard that Wizards is planning two more sets for 2007 as well as the new War At Sea game which comes out in the 1st quarter of 2007.

Very cool.. Silly question, but have you played the game itself and if so is it "fun"? :)

Yes, I've played it and it is a blast. The rules, which can be downloaded from Wizard's site, are really simple to learn. I'm not putting her intelligence down by any means but my wife plays it too.

I've been buying 2 cases of each set which will give you a nice selection of units to use and it's a whole lot cheaper this way as well. I've bought 2 starters and 3 of the twin packs mainly for hit counters and maps.

I even made a larger 3D map to play on as well. The pieces look really cool on it. The hexes on the standard maps are 2" and I' made my 3D map with 3" hexes. There are some guys that use the Kallisto 4" custom maps from the U.K. - too pricey for this kid.

If you like light WWII skirmish games then I'm sure that you'll like this one.

My son and I have been collecting the new Reserve set. We have two of the complete collection of the previous sets and we found that the reserve set seems a little easier to collect this time. We have gone through about 20 booster sets and already have about 80% of two seperate sets...
