Fond Memories!
This is a great buy! Quality 4/5 Design 3/5 Fun 6/5 Nostalgia 10/5 Played it again after over 30 years. The map is more colorful than I remember it. Manual was clear. Do not like the factory chips, so I had a friend 3d print factories Vehicle pieces are not as robust a the original ones, and the Germany/USSR colors are too close. Why not make Germany gray? This is not the 70s or 80s, so companies go cheap. All in all you won't regret the purchase. Just remember this isn't Stratego. It takes a bit to learn but has much more depth. But it is well worth it!

TAKES HOURS
This has been the best way to keep my teenage son occupied for hours upon hours! He literally disappears into his room with his friends, emerging only to eat. They regale me of the very exciting details of their games that they played until 3am the next day at breakfast, bleary eyed. I’d much rather them be playing this game than be getting into illegal shenanigans!

Great Game
Excellent game at a price that was lower than any other I'd found in a pretty good search of several other sites. The delivery was lightning fast and the packaging was topnotch. Pretty nifty all around and if I ever want another game I will definitely check them out again.

Great Gift for the Right Person
Fun to play: We got this as a gift for a precocious 5th grader. He loves it and habitually beats his Dad.
