It's a little more involved than Memoir '44, but just a little.<br /><br />The Hold the Line system is also in the same sweet spot as Borg's system, It has some significant differences, but some similarity as well. Like Borg's games, the HOTL system plays fast, so match play becomes a real possibility.

You played two titles that I'm curious about and one (<i>Midway</i>) that is one of my favorite wargames of all.<br /><br />I don't know much about <i>Hold the Line</i>, but I notice that Worthington keeps releasing new games in the "Hold the Line" series, which makes me wonder what it is about the mechanics of the game that makes it so appealing and translates to so many other Worthington titles.<br /><br />I'm a fan of the card-driven wargames of Richard Borg, and I used to play ancients miniatures, so I'm really curious about <i>Command and Colors: Ancients</i>. How do you find that it compares to <i>Battle Line</i> and <i>Memoir '44</i>?<br /><br /><i>Midway</i> was my first wargame as well, and it has been a long-standing favorite that I've <a href="http://paulowengames.blogspot.com/search/label/Midway" rel="nofollow">blogged</a> about frequently. Lately I'm finding that the Americans tend to win, so I was especially interested to read your account of what appears to be a decisive Japanese victory.
