Got my copy today!
I know I'm days/weeks behind most of you guys, but I just
picked up my copy of RB today... over at Art's! It's a great feeling
opening up a new wargame for the first time, but especially so
when the designer is right across the table.
This game just begs to be played, doesn't it? I'm really IMPRESSED with the quality of the components, too. The giant mapboard, the counters, the charts, the high-end paper rulebook... sturdy box (and the bubble gum!)... everything is definitely TOP NOTCH. Congrats, Art! Now, to carve out some time to set it up and start PLAYING...

Well done, good and faithful game designer...
Art, now that I've had almost a week to digest RB, all I can
say is THANK YOU for another quality game!
I look forward to future releases from L2.

Wish you the very best Art.
The quality of your product has been outstanding, at times, stunning.
I am extremey surprised our game industry has taken this great
turn for the better in quality - all thanks to you. Would never
had deemed it possible a few years ago. And to think a Canadian
did it. Kool!
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for revitalizing this
hobby.

Life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved.
Any L2 game is worth it's cost. You pay for quality, fortunately
you normally get extra quantity thrown in for free too.

TRC is a great game,but a lot of history was lost.
RB for me is a good mix, playable yet enough realism.It also adds
OIL ! This was what the war was about, so I am glad its here.It's
absence from most WWII strategic wargames always amazes me.

Eastern Front Games
TRC is my 2nd favorite eastern front game. It is fairly simple,
playable, recreates the eastern front fairly well on a strategic
level, and one can play 1941-1942 in an evening. My only complaints
about TRC are the extreme imortance of a very small handful of
weather rolls and the lack of the historical capability of the
Red Army.
Right now, I enjoy playing RB more than TRC. This is due to 1.
It simulates the German 41 offensive better. 2. It has the historical
Russian reinforcements in the summer and fall of 1941. 3. Blitzkrieg
attacks open things up a bit. The Russians can even make Blitzkrieg
attacks in 1944-45. 4. Air is more versatile (nine 1 column shift
Stukas) and some Stukas can be used in the 2nd impulse. The Russian
Sturmoviks give the Russians the punch to break German lines in
1943-45. 5. A better and more realistic weather table. Splitting
the weather between impulses is good although there are still
too few weather rolls. 6. Models the terrain better.

Just picked up a copy of RB from my local games store. I've got
to say that I am impressed, the map is simply stunning.
