I've been playing a lot of Memoir 44 recently, to augment my wargaming experience. It fills a nice niche: gives a quick game, has low complexity and comes with visually attractive components. I really enjoy the games mechanisms and it scratches my itch to meddle and produce variants.
That said, I've recently played Scenario 2 from the Pacific Expansion - Guadalcanal. A clear US victory. I followed this up with an Eastern Front game for the scenario outside Moscow in 1941. A Soviet victory where the German panzer assault was decisively repulsed.
I had a small divergence where I played a Battle Cry Franco-Prussian War variant using my 6mm H&Rs. A French victory with a pitched battle setup. Back to M'44 and the Mediterranian this time - a narrow British victory at Hellfire's Pass. I have already played a Sci-Fi version of this with my Star Wars Risk figures. The Axis were the Separatists in that game.
The last game was an indulgence to Squad Leader where I setup a scenario based on the Guards Conter-attack. The Russians were victorious and I was pleased with how easy it was to set this up and get a good challenging game.
Now to turn my attention to Hold the Line AWI and Napoleonic C&C.
