Stripped Down for Parts: Rebel Fury: Battles of the American Civil War

"Rebel Fury does a bunch of game functions in a simple but (to me at least) novel way." Jonathon Dyer, in A Fast Game is a Good Game, offers an insightful unboxing look at this American Civil War title. See why Jonathan concludes that the game "...promises to be a playable brigade-level game of broad scope, and simple enough to teach through play." And his reasons for why, as most of us probably agree, "...really, anything [Mark] Herman has to say is worth noting."

Traces of War by VUCA Simulations

Traces of War is a two-player game that simulates the intense fighting between Axis and Soviet forces after the battle of Kursk during August 1943 to March 1944. A major Soviet offensive is launched against a German mobile defense which almost results in similar debacle like at Stalingrad – only prevented by Erich von Manstein defying a Hitler’s direct order not to break through. The game uses well-known chit pull mechanisms, with some twists – like changing composition / availability of actions for each side depending on the turn. The move and battle rules are pretty straightforward, while the supply – while existing – is not overly complex. Reinforcements can be brought in a flexible way, making each game different. What’s more, we are getting two scenarios which have pretty distinct winning conditions, thus making for quite a different experience (and strategies).
