Yeoman (game)

In a 1976 poll conducted by SPI to determine the most popular board wargames in North America, Yeoman was rated at 44th out of 202 games.

[1] In the January 1976 edition of Airfix Magazine, Bruce Quarrie noted "these rules allow a wide degree of flexibility in approach to the game.

It can be an absolutely basic and 'unrealistic' affair [...] or by addition of optional Panic, Facing and Melee rules, and a [simultaneous movement sequence, it reproduces quite accurately the true conditions of the time."

He concluded, "In general [...] the result is as SPI intended, to satisfy both those who desire a simple format and those who can assimilate relatively complex restrictions.

The scenarios, when kept, are improved [...] The change to these games from their predecessors was generally a happy one, but sometimes some of the flavor of the individual periods was lost in the process.
