The result was keep. WP:SNOW keep - reviews from more than several magazines that have since been added to the article show that this game passes WP:GNG. Whether they are "specialized" is not relevant for notability purposes as long as they are secondary sources. (non-admin closure) _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 12:09, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Only sources listed in the article are published by the same company as the one that made the game, so are not independent. Other reviews are claimed to exist, but nothing is known about their length, independence, reliability, ... Looking for sources beyond the highly specialized magazines gave no usable results[1][2].

KEEP I have added another, more independent source of information (the French language wargaming magazine Frog of War), as well as a new "other review", Casus Belli, another independent French magazine. The "other reviews" already listed are very likely full-length and in-depth reviews, since that is the purpose of those magazines. I am trying to track down copies, hopefully soon.

keep sources appear to be enough. As a note on the nom's statement, the magazine "Moves" appears to have been owned by TSR, not SPI, when the review was published. Hobit (talk) 21:59, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Independent citations have been added to the article and several independent reviews seems to exist. RoseCherry64 (talk) 23:28, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
