Reception

Uli Blennemann comments: "Here I Stand offers a ton of period flavor, and it is a game that tells you a story. What's more, it's better than a book or a movie. With just a little bit of imagination, you write a part of that story."[1]

Here I Stand won the 2006 Charles S. Roberts Award for Best Pre–World War II Boardgame.[2]

It is # 5 on Boardgamegeek's War Game Rank.[3]
