Note to Self: Game: Urban Operations - YouTube Walk Through

This is a game I have and so want to "get into". I have it from the first edition, already a second edition is out. I so want to transfer it to tabletop with miniatures (see below, the pedigree of the designer is incredible):

The above YouTube video will be a good starting point.

Interestingly a new game (noy yet attained by myself) but from the same stable of French School of Infantry Combat (three graduates rather than the teacher [Sebastien de Peyret]) called CO-OPS (see below, image and link below):

One to put on the "For the Future" bucket list! 

Learning Project: The Last Hundred Yards Boardgame - GMT

The Last Hundred Yards (LHY) - WWII Tactical Wargame Rules.

This (LHY) is my 2023 "Board Game" summer project. I missed the first printing of LHY back in 2019 but I immediately seemed to hear so many good things about it I just had to put my name down on the GMT's P500 queue and wait in stoic silence (as the world seemed to come to a grinding Covid halt). I sat "queue watching" as it slowly ticked up to the GMT P500 reprint threshold leader board (literally waiting through the Pandemic years) and as the then post-pandemic logistical shipping and manufacturing nightmare cleared, saw it finally drop into my lap earlier this year. I also noted that the Airborne Over Europe, LHY Volume II "completed" the system so I bought into LHY system "big time" (as in, when available and at a relatively sensible price - don't hesitate buy or regret at your leisure). I this have all the core rules required. My hope is that it is the Squad Leader (SL) [golden game of my youth] replacement that Advanced Squad Leader (ASL) never was to me. My big hopes rest on its tiny shoulders!
