Battle for Kursk: The Tigers Are Burning, 1943, allows players to explore the major what-ifs of the Eastern Front during that pivotal year. Could von Manstein launch Operation Citadel early, or not at all? What if another objective was chosen for the Summer offensive? Similarly, could the Russian counteroffensive have been directed elsewhere, or be stopped on the banks of the Dnieper? Each turn the players must secretly select a posture, which impacts the types of activities they can perform that turn and the number of replacements they will receive.

Volume I in the C3i Combined Arms Series.

Apparently the worst set in the game, but I really like it...and it's Buffy

I think the characters in this set are harder to win with compared to other sets, but I still enjoy playing as them. It's hard to find though, and I actually had to look elsewhere because I'm unsure BGB will have it in stock ever again

Bought it entirely for the team play

This is probably one of the heavier games I own, and I'm entirely not a fan of heavy strategy games. What sold me here was the 3v3 mode, and that it's a deckbuilder, so it has some randomness and requires adaptability that many strategy games don't. Your overall strategy may be similar between games, but you'll likely have that be upset by your opponents, the cards you draw, or the cards you can buy.

The 3V3 mode is quite the beast, but everyone loved it. We may just put a time limit on the next game because our first took almost 5 hours.

Unmatched is great, and these characters offer a lot of variety

If you're new to Unmatched, it's a great game, and a set with 4 characters is a really great starting point.

What you're getting:

4 powerful and varied characters
1 map with a high ground mechanic, but the other side of the board is just a less visually appealing copy of it instead of being a different map

I think getting four powerful and varied characters is the main steal here, but I'm still kinda choked by the board having just an uglier version of it printed on the back instead of a different map.

Adds more options that even brand new players will get

I added this to the first game of Uprising I played, where half the players were brand new, and I had only played Imperium once before. It offers another board to move across, with two Victory Points (no alliance, so everyone can get all of these), a new grafting mechanic that lets you play two cards on an agent turn, and a special deck of cards bought with hard-to-get experimental cubes.

The new board takes a lot of investment, so for most players, that's gonna mean either ignore it entirely, or go all in. I was the only one who invested heavily in it, and while it paid off for me and my team, I was in last place for a while.

I just liked that there were more avenues for players to explore, though it doesn't add new agent spaces, just modifies one existing one.

Insanely good value. Will buy more.
