The best strategy gaming LP going on at this moment must be Combat Mission: Red Thunder by Grey Hunter. Two teams of goons are locked in mortal combat in late 1944, on one of the grognardiest game engines ever built. The game is played as double blind, where neither team has full confidence what is going on (and sometimes very little confidence in where their own troops are, either). The confusing spotting system of CM doesn't help. Grey handling the orders takes away a lot of the more arcane aspects of the game engine, but poses another level of problems (like simply forgetting to commit one players orders, six turns in a row). As a result the game is a continuous task of balancing between giving clear enough orders to be understood, making sure those orders mesh with what the rest of your team is doing, giving actually useful orders and sometimes even doing what your superior officer wants you to do. Worth taking a look for several reasons. Maybe you like strategy games and fancy yourself a commander? Maybe you want to check out an unique format of LP? Maybe you just want to laugh at the execution of grand plans gone awry? There's three threads going on. One for German team, one for Soviet team and one for observers.
