Weekend not kind on time given social life aspects to attend to ( gasp! );
Getting Nineveh out of the table after a few weeks worth of playing - truly magnificent game, will be hard to beat for best 2023 for me
- and Skies above Britain back on. Time for campaign.

I am horrified and in awe with the Nineveh wargame from Nuts and playing quite a lot since I got it.

Last play face to face I go D*esh and go for collateral damage objective. This is exactly what it means and relies on three things;
- forcing combat in urban areas
- deployment of explosive traps all the way
- and abhorrent martyrdom of own forces

I won but it isn't glee satisfaction of victory that comes but rather a grim realization of what is represented in the game.

@RyTo I am truly amazed at some of the themes coming out.
As an example the War of the Triple Alliance stands as one of the best wargames of late for that and ease of execution and learn/teach while delivering all the history.
For History games I reckon is getting more high flying and takes the prime space of attracting both conflict gamers and classic abstract
gamers.

@Joementum @RyTo As a customer I conccur and will go after what interests me the most. As a business I am not so sure.
My personal feel is that particular series gameplay is liked by many and the particular theme is a bonus - what I call "systemic wargames". Can be reformulated to a new era and still sell the system to the fans, rather than the intrinsic history theme.
Disclaimer: bit generalistic take.

Undeniably that WW2, Napoleonics and ACW are the top dogs in the business ( yes it is a business, don’t let the influencers fool you ).
