"Commands and Colors Memoir style suits ancients battles well. It a good fun competative game. Sometimes easy is best. Beyond that the next best thing would be GBoH. Those are quite more complex/realistic, wich consumes more time to play.

Brian Lazewski commented on Eric Walters's blog post MMP/IGS game FURY IN THE EAST"I got the issue to obtain the ASL Map. I have however tinkered with this, I'll give it a play one of these days."
Brian Lazewski commented on Jim Werbaneth's blog post Who Wants a Boat?"Will it fit through the locks on the Allegheny? And will the Coprs of Engineers let me use it to fish in Crooked Creek?
Those are buying points for me."
Brian Lazewski commented on Miguel Angel's group Combat Commander: Everything""With the Old Breed" is my second favorite memoir based on WWII Combat. If you liked it Kai, I suggest "To Hell and Back" The autobiography of Audie Murphy. I read this when I was a kid and recently just have re-read it. It…"
Brian Lazewski replied to John Kranz's discussion What are you playing?"A lot of ASL. After 25 years at it, it's still going strong. Some Combat Commander, can't ever get enough of this one. Some COH, interesting design I'll give it a good look."
Brian Lazewski commented on Miguel Angel's group Combat Commander: Everything"I'd love to see a Guadalcanal theme pack added down the raod for CC."
Brian Lazewski commented on Eric Walters's blog post The Return of the Mounted Mapboard?"I'm a mixed nut with regards to mounted/unmounted. I've grown quite used to plexiglass and it's all well and good. With ASL I do love the newer SK maps. I didn't mind the older paper map with CCA. The new ones just never lie…"
Brian Lazewski commented on Eric Walters's blog post Black Counter Graphics for SS: History and Controversy"I liked the camo colors for the Panzer Grenadier game better than the new black SS. It's just a way to bring their company more cashflow which may be a good idea. In Russian Campaign the black SS had a function so ease of spotting them was…"

"Trick photography. Everyone knows that’s the Fort Pitt Bridge! You clearly can see the Gateway Clipper too."
Brian Lazewski commented on Kimbo's blog post "Golden" Age of Wargaming"Some companies have far superior components than ever. MMP's ASL is better than old ASL in components. GMT is top notch with components. Conflict of Hero's is the best ever in a cardboard consim. Counter graphics are much better now than…"

Conflict of Heroes First look
WOW!
Conflict of heroes is a squad level light tactical game. It seems more focused on small firefights of less than company size.
So, I’m going to do a comprehensive review of it after some honest play time.
Have you ever opened a game-box and expected at best the norm? As a cardboard warrior as I, I have come to expect the usual deflating letdown after opening a game box. But with Conflict of heroes that was NOT the case. First glance was a “wow” moment for me.…
