This is a great little Skirmish game. The Rules are clearly written as with all of Ivan's products.
The thing I like most about this game is that you don't need a boatload of miniatures and a huge table to play on to have an amazing game. This is a terrific introduction to the hobby game for you to help a friend or child get started with.
Don't let the 67 page length scare you. All of the rules you need to get started playing are in the first 20 pages. The type is large and examples plentiful.
The next section deals with characteristics of the various nations you can play. There are 7 USA, UK, German, Polish, USSR, Free French, Finland.
The last section of the rules deals with Campaigns. This is where the rules go from really good to FANTASTIC.
You can play a solo campaign or a campaign against another player in a kind of what we call today warband style. Ivan has outdone himself here in making the campaign rules simple to understand and execute but worthwhile so that you keep coming back for more battles.
Many campaign Systems Stagnate and people drop the campaign after a couple of weeks or a month. Not so here. My Group has been playing a 5 men campaign for over a year now. We have used different theaters of course but we stick with the system as once side eventually wins.
Next to Fast and Dirty this is Mr. Sorensons Best Game ever.
