The Quest for the Jade Buddha (part 1)

 


I dice for the position of the arrival of units as they move onto the board , the Chinese got an even spread of units acrss th table on the first move.


However they drew this chance card which delayed the arrival of a unit.


The 'Dare to Die' unit dashes towards the ruined log cabin .


The Russians came onto the board mainly on the right . Note the Cossacks dashing forward towards the village still in column - risky !


Unfortunately the Russian Commander arrived on the far left miles away from his troops - this does not bode well !


Unfortunately the column of Cossacks came under fire from two units of Chinese troops and took heavy casualties .


Luckily the Chinese Commander drew a chance card that cancelled out the previous card and allowed the unit to come onto the table ..... 
Part two to follow

  2. A spicey looking game. I'm generally not a fan of rules with the intrusive random events, but then again, I don't play solo very often, where they do seem to add a needed dimension.

    1. When playing solo they add unexpected twists and turns which enhances the game if find.
