Mission: Grenada (Pt 4)

Final Thoughts on Mission Grenada.

Intriguing Operational Scenario. The US play has to be perfect to win.

Action Points are an effective way of creating operational constraints, especially given the movement penalties for terrain and contour lines.

An accessible simulation of joint operations and the use of combined arms.

Low counter density helps make it a quick game.

“End Game” tough for US. Cannot get sloppy and lose a unit. However, this end game is anti-climatic after the assault and rescue operations. It could be a scenario in itself.

Really, really, really needs a new map. Would be a fun project.

Simple air rules may seem wrong at first, especially the lack of defensive air support, but they work within the overall design of the game, and that’s the important thing.

I’m glad I bought this game. At $5 plus shipping, it’s a lot of game and fun for the money.
