Hi guys,
Picked this up over the weekend. I thought it was quite a good deal for just shy of 30 quid.
Rules are simple and fast, great for gaming with the kids!

So Airfix is following Italieri's lead.
IIRC this game was originally produced by some Russian company. Airfix probably bought distribution rights just like Italieri bought for Zvezda model kits.

Hi!
I remember when this game came out several months ago. Pretty nice. The rules were simpl, but looked like fun.

Yes. I have the Italieri Operation Overlord as well. Robogear is much simpler with its rule set, but for quick play they're ideal.
Played a couple of games with the kids, they liked the "real" firing. Not so sure about this myself, but again it adds an extra element of fun to the game and if it brings additional converts to the hobby...

Hi!
There were rules with "real firing" and rules for more conventional wargaming type firing.

Since the rules can be downloaded from the website I'll have to check 'em out. Just out of curiosity, of course.
