As is my habit, I included photocopies of any articles, rules variants, or "errata that I thought that the new owner might find useful, so none of those materials were saved once the game passed out of myJCB IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490081362549015107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4836956334020662322.post-39447323724621119982011-09-09T13:42:09.632-07:002011-09-09T13:42:09.632-07:00Joe, can I get a copy of your house rules for DOS?...Joe, can I get a copy of your house rules for DOS?<br /><br />If so I'll gt you an e-mail address.<br /><br />AlanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4836956334020662322.post-27723546759558970172011-08-06T18:28:16.876-07:002011-08-06T18:28:16.876-07:00Greetings Don:
Thanks, as always, for sharing you...Greetings Don:<br /><br />Thanks, as always, for sharing your thoughts.<br /><br />Yes, like you, I assume that the game in question is the OCS 'CASE BLUE'. Your opinion of this game seems to be generally shared by those players I know who are familiar with the OCS title; unfortunately, I have not had enough time to study the design to form a strong opinion of my own -- maybe later.<br />JCB IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490081362549015107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4836956334020662322.post-61819676323557165182011-08-06T16:21:22.154-07:002011-08-06T16:21:22.154-07:00If you are talking about OCS Case Blue, I like it....If you are talking about OCS Case Blue, I like it.

Interesti...Greetings Anon:<br /><br />Thanks for commenting.<br /><br />Interestingly, I find myself in the unusual position of having to defend SPI and its rules process -- it certainly wasn't perfect, but I can think of far more egregious rules offenders (GDW, CG, VG, just to name a few) than Dunnigan's team at SPI.<br /><br />The question of how 'CASE BLUE' is going to turn out is still, JCB IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490081362549015107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4836956334020662322.post-58871402132019245992011-08-05T13:58:14.132-07:002011-08-05T13:58:14.132-07:00Too bad the rules are poorly written (typical SPI)...Too bad the rules are poorly written (typical SPI) and the Germans have no chance.

If Decision Games would reissue the game with all of the post-publication adds, then the game would really, really work.<br /><br />One aspect that I particularly liked about DRIVE ON STALINGRAD that, it would appear, apparently everyone else hated was the effect of the "Fuhrer Directives": this added an obnoxious, but realistic JCB IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490081362549015107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4836956334020662322.post-27846715453499921652010-12-25T19:18:15.807-08:002010-12-25T19:18:15.807-08:00I just wished TSR had done the smart thing and pub...I just wished TSR had done the smart thing and published the rulebook with all the errata added in to really complete the game and not the same SPI ridden affair and the seperate errat sheet.<br /><br />I keep hoping some brave sole on consim will redo the rulebooklet with all the additions/errata included in.Kim Meintsnoreply@blogger.com
