Game Reports

Over There No 1: Michael Tapner and Robert Walker took on a breathless "1918" scenario from Over There that kept getting more exiting and in the end hung on several critical dice roles, each of which could have decided the game.

Over There No 2. These are the "DJ05"-reports of the still ongoing Full Campaign game of MTV/OT started by Todd E. Jahnke in 2004.
