Interesting how this series of games circled back as it were, from somewhat larger presentations of major, high-profile battles to smaller depictions, one suspects to encourage people to visit Ukraine '43, Holland '44 and such once they had played 'Salerno'. What's interesting about Salerno are the sorts of options made available to players, often simply by adjusting a few moves or attempting a different strategy (e.g., pushing out from the centre, have the British try to tie down German reserves, or doing quite the opposite). And the games provide that without injecting undue variations in such aspects as, say, force structure, thereby allowing the experience to be much more the simulation rather than an ahistorical contest. It will be interesting to see how much of that spirit and purpose will be retained in the North Africa game that's due soon. As always, thanks for the video and your insights.
