Really cool theme, loads of nailbiting tension. I'm not good at it, but still enjoyed my couple of attempts.
To me, the name alone is a winner.

SplinterCardReally enjoyed the theme of this game. I could easily conjure up images of the medic rushing about doing whatever they could while playing. Overall, I think I played it correctly, but do have a few small questions. Do stabilized soldiers need to be taken back to the aid station to count? Also, can I use more than one asset when trying to stabilize someone?
Thanks for the game! Would love to see a bigger game of this theme.

Once More...Greetings.
Thank you for playing it out. Yes, you can use whatever assets you wish but one of the aspects is to be wary of supplies but you're the "doc" and you know best !
Regarding stabilized, yes, they need to be taken back to Aid Station. These are not the light wounded that can still hold the line but the rather severely wounded that feature in the casualty lists.
game is now freely available in Tabletop Simulator module

I play once and I really love the idea. It is war but from an unusual angle.
For me it has been a tougth play, everybody died one after the other. Mostly because the Jeep was destryed turn 2 (event #6).
Nonetheless, I have a couple of questions :
1. Where does the Medic starts? Player choice, random? If player choice, is he placed before or after the 1 event is placed?
2. First event : it is a Bleeding soldier, placed player choice. I was at the aid station and the bleeder in FH. I was so far away that I had no chance to rescue him. I would suggest for playability to have a Wnd at that stage.
3. How many assets can I used in one action?
4. Is there really only 1 stabilized marker? Meaning, if I left a stabilized casualty to take care of another, will he immediatly worthen during the End Turn?
I hope that help somehow ;)

La CancionThank you for giving it a go. Interesting points and one, the very first casualty, is often brought up.
1. Medic starts at the Aid Station as indicated in the initial setup instructions BUT I like the random idea as well. I am still undecided.
2. The first casualty, and I am still debating it with myself how to better represent it to immediately give the tone of the game, is meant to represent Cpl. Hoobler ( E Co. 506 IR ) self inflicted wound with the prize Belgian pistol he took from a german officer he shot. It cut his femoral artery and was a tragic death.
3. One of each type can be used as long as its effect is adequate. Some assets can be used for both situations.
4. Yes you are totally right and I struggle with that myself. I will rearrange the counters and add at least two more.
Thank you for the input !
