Dan Verssen Games’ Sherman Leader is on Kickstarter

Dec 28, 2016

The latest Dan Verssen Games solitaire wargame is on the horizon by way of Kickstarter. As a big fan of the company’s solo games like Field Commander: Napoleon and Thunderbolt – Apache Leader, I’m excited to see more WWII action is about to hit the table with Sherman Leader. In this new release, you’ll be tasked with the command of U.S. ground forces in campaigns spanning 1942 North Africa to the fall of Berlin in 1945.

The project is already over 300% funded with plenty of stretch goals unlocked, even including some miniatures to spice up the game. You can reserve your very own copy of Sherman Commander, through January 15th, at the $70 pledge level.

From DVG:

In Sherman Leader, you command an American group of tanks, armored cars, trucks, half tracks, and infantry squads. You get to choose your campaign. Anything from 1942 North Africa to 1945 Berlin, and everything in between. Of course we have the D-Day and Italian Campaigns!

Sherman Leader is a great game for both experienced strategy gamers and well as new players. Each campaign takes only 30 minutes to set-up, and each battle can be resolved in 15 to 30 minutes.

Being a solitaire game, you can play whenever you have time, at your pace. This is very important. Sherman Leader is not a multiplayer game that has solo play rules tacked on. It was designed from the ground up to be a 1 player game.

Sherman Leader is the latest game in our “Leader” series. Previous games: Hornet Leader, Phantom Leader, Thunderbolt-Apache Leader, and U-Boat Leader. As a side note, you can divide up your forces and play co-op with a friend.
