Last year, we started a new video series called RAW where we literally just turn the camera on after playing a big wargame and talk through our thoughts, concerns, areas of difficulty, strategy, etc. It is just a RAW unloading of our thoughts in the immediacy of having played the game. In this entry, we had just finished a game of BCS Brazen Chariots from Multi-Man Publishing.

Great video.
At the moment I like the Grand Tactical Series of MMP even more.
The Battalion System was a small revolution in operational wargames, while the GTS did the same to tactical games.
Gone are the usual “generic” maps you fight over in many games. You get the true terrain that was fight over in these games.
It is fantastic you can go deeper into the battlefields with these games without getting lost in the usual “surround that hex” with the maximum of “combat odds” present in BCS or see how the grand tactical map is a bridge to the overall situation in GTS.
These game series are the pinacle of Dean Essig’s published wargames and final work.
A series that are up there with my top 5 wargame series of all time.
DDay at series
Enemy Action games
Panzer system
Grand Tactical series
Battalion Combat system.
All have great solo play and all have very unique game systems that stand out in originality and adding variety in counter/hex wargames that are much closer to simulating things than many other wargames.
And still very exciting to experience them.
