The Last Hundred Yards - The Last Hundred Yards - varies - Mike Denson
Join game designer Mike Denson as he offers everything from one-on-one learning opportunities to a larger multiplayer experience, depending on interest, playing his well regarded game system. From the publisher: The Last Hundred Yards is unlike any tactical wargame published to date. It introduces innovative systems intended to model Small Unit Behavior in Combat during WW2. It is fun, fast-paced, and provides a very good simulation of what it was like to command combat units at the platoon or company level. The game is purposely designed to deliver a brisk yet intensive gaming experience that forces many decisions upon you as you take command of an infantry company in Western Europe after the D-Day landings. Click here for more information about this challenging and enjoyable wargame. Continued throughout the day. Players may drop in and out as they see fit. Scale: Platoon and Company level board game |
