Joe's Gaming Journal Entry 4

[putman9]

Just got mine (the new Deluxe, but I never had the old) the other day. I don't usually like Cold War sims, but this is just stellar. Very abstracted perhaps but very fast and simple and balanced and tense and replayable, so it is ideal for newbies to the hobby. (Many women or wives seem to be able to appreciate it, too, which is always a very good plus!)

I really like the DEFCON. Sometimes you want it low, so no funny business allowed from your opponent.  Or high, so you can coup or realign

Thanks for the intro, it helped me get started!
