An alright video, but you need to go to Wargame Vault and check out Mike Lambo's titles. I like his WW2 items. But he also does other than WW2.

Hey Hissy. Got the Sleeved bookcase game myself. Definitely a great game. The combinations of different Orders of Battle scenarios comes to 66 I think. It's a remarkable game that is great to change sides with an opponent and see who does the best in defending France. Excellent throwback. It also solos very well.
