by far the best scenarios in the entire ATS system. Excellent work
I had the pleasure to play this one with Andrea Garello himself. A very tense game with victory in balance 'till the very last few moves of the last turn....what i call GRAND!
A very fun and addictive game designed by a true ATS fan: Andrea Garello. One of the most enjoyable games from the "golden era" of ATS.
Pros: replayability; tension; fun factor.
Cons: only 4 scenarios.
Great module on the Italians on the Russian Front.
A hidden gem. 3 people giving it a "10" at the same time.
An outstanding addition to the ATS line up. Andrea Garello has produced four exceptionally tense, interesting and superbly balanced scenarios. The extras push this one into the "10" range for me; variable reinforcements that inject uncertainty (and increase replayability), a dash of chrome for colour (Italian gun jamming, molotov cocktails) and selectable victory conditions. I found it remarkable how quickly the tide could turn for either side over the course of a turn or two with victory hexes changing hands many times during the game. I'd give this an "11" if I could - fantastic stuff.
Designed by Andrea Garello, this ATS title features Italian units fighting on the Eastern Front on a historic map of Nikitovka. Four intense scenarios plus new Italian units makes this a great addition to the ATS lineup. An expansion game is planned, which will feature Italian and German units fighting the Russians on two historic maps of Novo Orlovka and Orlovo Ivanovka.
If you own a russian front game take a look at this add-on. It's about italians troops on the russian front and it's a small marvel. A great job by Andrea Garello.
