Squad Battles / Heroes of Stalingrad

[Stejones82]

Just be aware that any SqB title will involve a fairly heavy investment in learning the system. Solo play is fair to decent, but the system shines in PBEM. But the vets will eat your lunch until you get savvy.

RL issues have me playing more in a -egads, dare I say- simplistic, abstract system with cutesy graphics and UI (read "Battle Academy")

"Hi - My name is Steve and I am a 54 year old adolescent." "HI STEVE!"

SqB is a fantastic engine with many nuances, but it is like a fine wine or a good woman - takes time to master and appreciate.

[NB: above said with ABSOLUTELY no "50 Shades" allusion!]

I have been playing SqB for about three years and consider myself to have barely cracked intermediate status - - cannon fodder for the likes of the real vets. But the good ones here, and they are many, are always gracious and willing to instruct. But they still eat my lunch and spit out the yucky parts onto my lap. [blech]

Enjoy - SqB is a great, perhaps unequaled system - no joke.
