Doesn't that go for all of the WW2 games? They are mostly the same except for Soviet tanks and stuff in Red Thunder and the chance to have British equipment in Battle for Normandy.
The first 20 minutes of the Expanse first episode are quite boring but necessary to get to know the characters. But it gets better after that.

I am struggling with the set up. A sure sign that we have a good map. I'll endeavor to get it to you tonight.
Yep, and that's why I only bought two games and one module so far, even though I spent years playing CM.
Started out with Normandy, then added the commonwealth, and years later I got CMFB for late war open map tactics as antidote to hedgerows in Normandy.
Rome to victory is just a module, so of course I shouldn't expect major changes to the formula. For owners of CMFI it might be worth it as a kind of map pack. Nothing wrong with that.
And then Christmas Eve dinner happened.....
We are underway now. Our setup turns are a distant memory and we have to deal with our first minute of combat action.
On my (British) attack, I purchased some aeroplanes, which I'm sure @Wellsonian is discovering right about now.
On his attack, it seems @Wellsonian has invested in some Churchills, which I have already bounced a 75mm AP shell off of, as he is no doubt aware of.
This map doesn't allow for a lot of stealth, and the lead is already flying. Tally Ho!

Yes, on a map that looks like it has lots of cover, it appears to have none!
On my (German) defense, the ominous sounds of many, many British airplanes fill the air. I assume Typhoons, and bullets and bombs rearrange the topography. A sudden advance by a bunch of Red Devils backed by a platoon of Shermans and a lone Churchill....so far.
On my (British) attack, it appears @Meat Grinder went with a mixed armor platoon backed by the inevitable infantry. Annoyingly, Meat Grinder has a little strongpoint forward in his defensive zone. How very 1970s-80's Soviet of you.
I'm afraid this one won't go to the card. Someone is getting knocked out!

I used that tactic as a salute to your cold war service.
New turns are up.
@Wellsonian is dropping mortar fire, in his British attack, on my "forward strongpoint".
In my defensive position, I have lost a PZIV, but little else has changed.

Will there be a video on YouTube of this bout?
Only if something appallingly terrible happens. Then I might post a vid in my House of Horrors thread. :shocknaz:
