Solo per ringraziare Tom che con i suoi TANTI giochi recensiti e' il piu' attivo recensore di BoardgameGeek, ed ora sta continuando con dettagliatissime recensioni anche qui sulla Tana.
Grazie anche a Cippacometa per la traduzione:)
Sono molto contento di aver segnalato a Tom la nostra italica Tana tempo fa: con gli ultimi tools di "conoscenza dei recensori" e' sempre piu' vicina al vastissimo BGG. Mi ricordo che quando Warangel fu inserito su BGG i giochi di la' erano circa 500, ora sono MOLTI di piu'.
Ora la Tana ha passato i 500 iscritti, auguro a tutti i nuovi visitatori e recensori di imparare da Tom Vasel che dei tanti che conosco e' uno dei piu' bravi "comunicatori di giochi". Lo avevo detto a Lucca 2000 che le cose in Italia si stavano muovendo: ora i nostri giochi ed autori sono molto piu' conosciuti e rispettati anche all' estero grazie alla bonta' dei nostri prodotti e alla comunicazione di "Giocatori" come Tom.
Memoir '44 is a historical boardgame where players face-off in stylized battles of some of the most famous historic battles of World War II including Omaha Beach, Pegasus Bridge, Operation Cobra and the Ardennes.
Memoir '44 includes over 15 different battle scenarios and features a double-sided hex game board for both beach landings and countryside combat. Each scenario mimics the historical terrain, troop placements and objectives of each army. Commanders deploy troops through Command and Tactic cards, applying the unique skills of his units -- infantry, paratrooper, tank, artillery, and even resistance fighters -- to their greatest strength.
"By design, the game is not overly complex", says Memoir '44 designer, Richard Borg. "The game mechanics, although simple, still require strategic card play, timely dice rolling and an aggressive yet flexible battle plan to achieve victory." In addition to the large, double-sided gameboard, Memoir '44 includes 144 amazingly detailed army miniatures - including historically accurate infantry, tanks and artillery; 36 Obstacle pieces, 60 illustrated Command cards, 44 Special Terrain tiles, and 8 Custom Wooden dice.
Memoir '44 is designed for 2 players but easily accommodates team play. And with Memoir '44 Overlord scenarios, players can use multiple boards and up to 8 players to conduct large scale operations, experiencing the challenges of troop coordination and military chain of command on a large scale battlefield. Average game length is between 30 and 60 minutes, encouraging match play where players can command first one side and then the other.
The Memoir '44 series consists of the base game and a number of expansions.
This game is based upon Richard Borg's Command and Colors system.
