I have only two scenarios left to go of the 22 new ones that came with
The Great War Expansion #2: The French Army. I'm posting a long series of commentary/session reports on BGG for them. Mostly I've been solitairing them, but three or four pals have joined me in a game or two over the last few weeks. Choosing the new
Special Personnel Figures at the start of each scenario is a new and interesting aspect of the game, and the French Heavy Tanks are fun too, being slightly different than the British ones introduced earlier. The more famous light Renault tanks are supposedly going to be introduced with the American Army expansion, one of several in planning stages; the next will be battles of the early war in 1914, using the green side of the board.
A pal lent me his new
Kami Sama and I'm having fun with it. Its by the fairly new small company
Kolossal, who is also making my huge Kickstarter
Mezo for next Sept., in the class of
Rising Sun huge mini area control games.
My other upcoming giant Kickstarter is
Red Alert: Space Fleet Warfare, due in March. PSC is trying to get it shipped out later this month before the great
Chinese New Year Production Slow Down, which happens all February every year! Its Command & Colors in space!!! Richard Borg did such a great job with
Battle Lore, the Fantasy/Medieval version of the game series, that I'm expecting great things. You can see my early prepublication commentary, thanks to the rules being available early, here:

Coming up I'll be going over the rules for
Three Kingdoms Redux, possibly the greatest three player only game ever designed. At the time I got it last year it was not available on this side of the ocean; but now has a US distributor. So I've only played it once after one solitaire. Its a truly amazing Asian design from Singapore, and if you love the classic Chinese novel
Romance of the Three Kingdoms as I do, that's a plus too.
