Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
Nuklear Winter
I've been following the development of this game over on BGG, and am kind of surprised I've not heard anyone else mention it over here. It's a hex and counter wargame that seems to firmly straddle the line between wargame and ameritrash. Based on what info has been given so far the game will have:
-A similar (and appears to be even easier to play/learn) rules system to the Eisenbach Gap Word at War family of games
-Up to 3 players
-Mutants
-Cultists
-Nazis who have been hiding underground for a few decades and are ready to reclaim the Fatherland- or at least the nuklear wasteland that used to be the Fatherland
-Tanks
-Monsters
-Tanks assembled out of scrap from other tanks
-V-2 rockets
-Radioactive wastelands
-and more
If that sounds intriguing watch this:

And the if that gets you excited you can watch a full play through of one scenario here:

I'm not affiliated with this project in any way. I am looking forward to having a 3 way battle royale between NATO commandos, holdout Nazis, and mutant cultists. The game is supposed to be out later this year.

You can show this one to your eurogaming friends to trick them into buying the game. It makes the thing look like:
Power Grid: Underground Panzer Factory Manager
Those crazy Germans. They're not going to let a little nuklear winter get in the way of meeting productivity goals

Edit- this game was previously published as a free print-and-play game by the designer under the title Nuklear Winter '78. Now that the guy has hooked up with Lock N load to publish it as Nuklear Winter '68 the DIY version is no longer available. I never heard of it till a few months back, so I never played the download version.

I'm about to make a rare impulse game purchase (the last being Minion Hunter in the mid-90's). The only thing, _only_ thing, causing pause is LnL's launch of All Things Zombie. That didn't go over so well...
Dan Daly, any idea why the name change being 10 years earlier? Same units still? Not that it matters, just curious.
Avery, check these threads out for images of mutants and such:

I could use a good three player wargame too...

NATO (which includes the Russians in this alt-history timeline)
NAZIS
The Black Hand- wasteland mutants ala Battle for the Planet of the Apes
The video showed a 2 player scenario which was NATO vs NAZIS.
Towards the end of the video some of the cultist units show up as a random event and attack the Nazis for a round.

I'm not really sure. My guess would be a marketing decision (perhaps the 60's are cooler then the 70's) or some legal/copyright issue, but I really don't have any idea why the name changed or how different the LnL version will be from the PnP version.

Looks like a Pandemic like game called Zombie Wars is also up in their P500 program.
