Game Highlights #2: Hostage Rescue Squad, by Mike Lambo

Working through a mission from the solitary game, Hostage Rescue Squad, by Mike Lambo. First off, I love this designer’s games and I play them a lot. Mechanics are quick to learn. Game play is fast. And they offer a fun challenge. Even though there are game pieces I could print out, I really like to use my 8mm cubes when I play these games. I wasn’t success in rescuing the hostages this time around, but maybe next time.

May the wind be at your back and the enemy in your sights!” About Once more is a quick, solo wargame where you will take your squadron of four biplane fighters out on missions to support our troops or clear the way for them to move forward. You will need to make decisions about when you attack and when to coordinate your fighters against an enemy of aerial fighters and ground troops. Be careful, resources are scarce and once one of your planes is shot down, there are no reinforcements to fill the ranks. Created and submitted f...
