RE: WW1 Air Combat Game

<t> Yes I downloaded all the needed BlueMax files....read over the files into the early morning hours.Nice set of rules....not overly complicated yet detailed enough to make a scenario interesting.One thing I found odd is that there is not much of a fuel allotment for the planes....seems you would ...

RE: WW1 Air Combat Game

<r> Thanks Joe......it is kind of cool.....You could certainly recreate any scenario you wanted to do.....there is lots of room for creativity...There are a lot of miniatures table top games played in a similar manner,using model aircraft instead of counters.I spent part of the weekend pouring over ...

<r> Decided to make a post before my internet service gets shut off....my winter heating bill has gone up a lot and the cost of keeping a car on the road has caused me to get behind on my internet bill....will have to do without for a few months.....With the coming 100th anniversary of WW1 coming up ...

RE: What are you playing these days?

<t> I have been playing a computerized 10 pin bowling game lately...."Bowling Evolution" it is called.Most of the bowling games I looked at were not very good but this one did get my attention.The game has a crashing bug which for me is remedied by turning off the sound.I find it enjoyable though ...

<t> Checked out the youtube video of seadogs....looks kind of cool but I am not sure it is what I am looking for....wish there was a naval simulator similar to flight simulators where you are in the cockpit,only inside a ship...At any rate I took the plunge and purchased the Napoleonic Battleground ...

18th - 19th Century Naval games ?

<r> Wondering if anyone knows of any 18th or 19th century naval computer games? Only one I can find is a computer version of Avalon Hill's Wooden Ships and Iron Men. Seems it is in DOS which I could play using DOS Box,but it is not really the game I want..I did find some free wooden ships table top ...
