More boardgames for meta-gaming when we get to 2.0


Recommended Posts

Just discovered this battalion-level boardgame, with 1200m per hex. Excellent scale for using as an op layer for CM:

Piercing the Reich (Moments IN History, 1995. Covers the 1st Army's attack across the Westwall in fall 1944):

And a review:

Copies on the used market seem abundant and low-priced.

People who've played it say this system shares many similarities with Joseph Balkoski's "Saint-Lo," which I've enjoyed using as an op layer for CMBN. It has a lot of randomized activation, simulates FOW and gets away from the straight IGO-UGO approach.
