Quartermaster General South Front

After my first six games - I'm impressed! I loved East Front and South Front, while using the same overall system, feels totally fresh and new. The supply issue and no real front line makes the game really tense. See my review!

Initially, I thought this was a slight disappointment in comparison to QMG: East Front. But in time, I've found the smaller map and playing only one card per turn still providing lots of thinky gameplay. You live and die by your naval forces in South Front; Losing even one ship can really hurt. Allies are in serious trouble right from the start, with a role reversal happening after the midgame point. Games are usually decided by the most minor lapses of judgement, with wobbly supply lines collapsing spectacularly after just a single piece is removed. You're constantly teetering on the edge of failure, and that's where I want to pitch my tent at.

Excellent opus de la série qui gomme les imperfections ou chaos des précédents titres. Mais c'est au détriment d'une difficulté accrue. Le système est plus touffu, plus exigeant. Se joue en 1h30 à 2h lorsque les règles sont maîtrisées. Un seul défaut par rapport à ses prédécesseurs, il ne se joue qu'à 2 joueurs. Statistiques Victoires de l'Axe : 2 Victoires Alliées : 0

It's not as visually straightforward as East Front, with the Allies attempting to squish the Axis in between them. Supply lines are very tenuous. A core narrative around the Axis needing to build up a big enough lead in the early going to withstand a total collapse in the late game. 5+4

I really enjoy the Quartermaster games; the theme is very well integrated, the historical setting is good, and the mechanics work very well.
