Burning Tigers

[vince hughes]

Finally KNF arrived here on Saturday with 2 x boxes of the game. One for Wayne and one for me, along with Moroccan counters.

I've breezed over the counters (combat units) and the printing looks fine to me on KNF (no blurring so far from what I have seen fortunately). Have not tested the thickness against the others but they seem to be thicker than nearly all in the past except of course the shower tiles of Lib 44.The Maroc's appear OK too. Not sure I am in love with the Marocs colours ... undecided on that at present. The Desert Rats sheet appears very thick ? As for the new marker counters, I will in the main, probably stick with the old ones.

On the rulebook I've only just started reading it and will invest in highlighter pens to show new rules and define those I will use and won't use.

I did have one fear about the rulebook before printing and that was the size of it. The initial attractiveness to me about PG back in the day was the 16 page rule book. I was done with heavy rules tomes. This book on an initial flick through seems to contain everything BUT will its 36 or 42 pages frighten would be starters away ? I hope not. I think that had I been looking at the game way back then and I saw the size of the rule book I probably would not have bought into the system, but only because of my worry about the amount of rules. Now time to dig further.
