There are very few Kickstarter projects which I will publicly stand behind (once I get back for this trip I’m going to put together a quick article about the official TGG stance on Kickstarter previews and such) but the Spearpoint title is one I personally guarantee is going to worth your support. Byron Collins, the man behind CEW, always delivers top notch releases and is someone I consider to be a friend in the industry.
So get out there and get this funded!!!
From CEW:
Frontline General: Spearpoint 1943 Eastern Front is an easy to play tactical wargame set in the Eastern Front of WWII. It is a new standalone game in the Spearpoint 1943 Expandable Card Game (ECG) series.
