Downfall by GMT - first play

Some initial thoughts on this new release from GMT

[chinapoliticsfromtheprovin]

Very interesting as always, thank you. A largish footprint and long game play, from all one hears. I saw where another reviewer said that it was one of the few games that, upon completion, they wanted to set up and play again.

Looking forward to your impressions relative to other games of the same scale, such as 'Unconditional Surrender'.

I think Downfall has a lot of potential but there are too many tracks and the rotating the counters to indicate strength is annoying. A high degree of vigilance is required and is distracting from game play. I also think it would have greatly enhanced play if the players could win as the Germans too. Good Luck Chris.
