Re: What games are you playing?

If number of posts are an indication of chess strength, then I guess mine is accurate. I also play Xiangqi (Chinese chess), Janggi (Korean chess) and Shogi (Japanese chess)

I've also been playing Nerf Arena Blast, but don't tell anybody

Re: The lack of a mid-range Operation Barbarossa game

Decisive Campaigns Case Blue also by VR Designs is also worth looking into. Less politically driven that DC Barbarossa. Advanced Tactics Gold also has some ready made scenarios of the Eastern Front, and they are even more streamlined and wargame like.

I don't believe Gary Grigsby's War In The ...

4 Seasons/ Rising Dawn 2 player pbem?

Prefer Medium/ Large random map, with a little bit of water. Not fussy about other parameters.

I'd rank myself as an "average" player. I'm familiar with the game system, been playing for a few years. So if you're a newcomer I I might offer a moderate challenge, if you're a strong player I might ...

It can't possibly suck more than the Gary Grigsby game manuals. 500+ pages? C'mon.....

RE: Star Wars Andor filming takes place in Dorset quarry

Worth Matravers sounds like a Star Wars character itself. Probably one of those good guy generals up in a spaceship. To be honest though the last time I saw a Star Wars movie I think Leonid Brezhnev was leader of the USSR.

Have you tried Zoo Tycoon 2? That has sea lions. That's sort of sealed I guess.

RE: Party time!

Some people don't seem to like the "cartoonish" unit graphics but I thought they were cool, a bit like a war comic, or a cover of an old wargame like Panzer Blitz. But that's just me and I can understand why people might prefer more realistic pics.

RE: What's the most complicated board wargame you ever played?

<r> Phase Line Smash, a solitaire game of the 1991 Gulf War. The rules for the AI are longer than the rules for the player. I gave up after a few attempts when I realized that every game was going to play out very similarly. All that rulebook flipping for an unrewarding and samey experience. I ...

I think I'll listen to anything except Ennio Morricone because I can't stand post-famous-person-died bandwaggoning.

I don't think I'm smart enough for this game

<r> I bought this game a couple of weeks ago and been trying to get into it. A big mistake. This game had turned my brain into a pile of mush. It's so complex and hard to grasp it's beyond my puny mortal comprehension. You can move units <I><s>[i]</s>and<e>[/i]</e></I> attack. And then you can use ...
