1P 398 - Fields of Fire

About this episode

The episode explores the solitaire tactical wargame Fields of Fire, set in various historical conflicts.

This week I take a trip into the hedgerows of Normandy with Fields of Fire, the solitaire tactical wargame by Ben Hull, published by GMT Games. This is a strictly solo experience where you command a US Army company across campaigns set in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. Instead of a traditional map, it uses a grid of terrain cards. Command and control mechanics do a great job of simulating fog of war. Fields of Fire (BGG, GMT Games Series)
