Rick Barber: Never Forgotten. Kinda slowly reading through the rules currently. The rules are a good read, clear and easily understood. That's the same box, same amount of maps that came with/will be in OST Vol.1. reprint Kickstarter. You can get the whole map in your camera frame by setting the map up outside and mounting your camera on a drone. The larger hexes and size of this map make Rick's map style a breeze to read. The one player aid with the CRT is OK, but the other one with the TEC and Sequence of Play I will probably replace. The font on that one is about 2, maybe 1. I went cross eyed for about 10 minutes after looking it over when I unboxed the game. It's readable but it'll be a bother during game play. If you didn't get the Kickstarter map boarders, grab a roll of Easyliner shelf liner, and for an extremely modest price, you can make your own map boarders for the scenarios.
The only problem with the game is it is very difficult to fit everything back in the box. The counters I put in bags and have not cleaved the cards yet and it barely fits back in the box. Also the player aids are in the tiniest font you can imagine, don’t know why that was done.
Thanks Karl! There was a production mess up with the player aids. There are new blown-up versions of the charts and tables available for download now on the Flying Pig website.

A boarder is a renter

Beautiful game. Do yourself a favor and get the player aid cards blown up and printed on 11 by 17 pages though.

why on earth are the Confederate counters brown?
This is not terribly unusual.
Its butternut, which many Confederate soldiers wore. Blue & Grey sounds better than Blue & Butternut, however.
