I'm new at Lock n' Load and have a question about Band of Heroes 'Flash...Thunder!' scenario. I don't understand the initial U.S. setup. Do the U.S. units only appear as 'reinforcements' according to the dice rolls?
I too am a solitaire gamer, although tonight I stopped by a local Borders where there is a group. (Arlington,TX). I hope to get some more Hornet II games in so that I can get the hang of it. I've played so little, I just haven't gotten the rythm yet.
I started out with HLII and CAG, then got the others in the series. The only one I haven't tried yet is Marine Air. I've had fun with the whold series, especially since most of my gaming is unfortunately solitaire.
No - I just got the game a couple of weeks ago, and really haven't played a whole campaign due to time restraints. The whole series looks really neat. I want to get a bunch of campaigns under my belt and really understand the gaming system, before I…

I've found the internal debate (i.e. the debate in my head) has been to either play a lot of games poorly or a few games well. I prefer the latter model, but then you must, as you say, find that set of holy grail games that one chooses to become goo…
Chris:
Really - that's a good point. I wonder if the Audi folks realized the message they were sending out with this one. I doubt if anyone found it funny in the least.
