So challenging and informative to play

[Durk]

Some time about two or more years ago a survey asked what game players would love to see. I said the Thirty Years War. This is a time not covered well by other games, and not covered at all when the survey was posted. I have been playing this game since its release and love it. The smaller scenarios are such a nice introduction to the grand campaign, which I am still struggling to master. This was a brutal war in so many ways. Typically I play with historical attrition even though this is so hard on the troops. It is the reality of the time and why my relatives ended up on the western side of the Atlantic.
Still leaning, but so much enjoying.

Agreed. This game is like no other. It is brutal and it does force you to make tough choices. But that's what I love about it.

agree, this has the elegance of WiA but with an even less permissive supply situation. Merely surviving can be a challenge, never mind attacking the enemy, especially as you have to play the requisition (etc) cards to survive but they in turn make it harder to draw in regular resources.
