It's looking good for the Mexicans. Having fought off and avoided all opponents, Bonito Wacko has been released from the Fort and is galloping to freedom on a borrowed horse.
When I first saw this game two years ago I knew I wanted to play it. It looked to have all the elements I enjoy including Zoomies, Floaties and god-view strategy and tactics in the 1980s with all my favourite military hardware. Sadly I was unable to afford the price tag without raising the suspicions of the domestic goddess so I had to forego the pleasure of buying the game.
Tongiht Paul Ayres very kindly led me through the game's beginnings. Keeping my excitement at playing it for the first time was the difficulty. It's the complex kind of game that you can spend a lifetime playing and learning, just the kind I love. Lots of looking things up (not as much as Harpoon V but a bit more than Red Storm) but as you get used to the game that will diminish.
Sadly on this occasion NATO forces came off badly to the Russian Bear and have been pushed south from the north coast of Norway. A plucky Buccaneer attack on the main naval task force did some damage but not enough. At least the aircraft got home again, ready to strike another day against the might of the Red Aggressor.
The AGM this year will be held at the Prince of Wales in Shrewsbury at 1400 hrs. It would be great to see you there.
