New Game Suggestion

<t> I want to play a new game. Anyone remember an old Avalon Hill board game called "Blitzkrieg" ?? (I think it was.) It featured two mythical countries fighting each other circa 1945. Great game, one of my all time faves.<br/>
<br/>
Anyway, I'd love to find a game set in a mythical place in the ...

RE: Vietnam Combat Operations update

No biggie, that was just part of my "wish list"...it's a fabulous contribution to the game and to History.

We all appreciate what you are doing.

I've been playing the "Italy '43" scenario against the PO (I'm the Allies). I looked through the scenario briefing for a long time searching for whether or not I could/should play against the PO. <br/>

To all in general, if you didn't know yet, any location can easily be found by hitting 'B' and typing in the coordinate. Can also type in Placenames !<br/>

Expansion -- Only $9.95 !!

<t> Here's an idea for you guys to get an extra $9.95 (or whatever, I'd support whatever gets me a better product). Why don't you Devs/programmers work on an "expansion" where the player can select certain features such as scenario size, number of cities, unit counters, type of battle, and so forth ...

RE: a request for small short scenarios with good PO play

<t> I fully second this. My own preference is something that a human can play against the PO in about 20-25 turns. I enjoy the hypothetical situations with variations to improve replay-ability. (Don't get me wrong, I like an occasional longer game and I don't mind playing a historical scenario if it ...

<t> Historically, some of the top Ju-87 pilots were "aces" in terms of enemy planes shot down. Hans-Ulrich Rudel, a JU-87 pilot, had 9 air victories to add to his 500 or more tank kills (and a few ships)...WOW!!! How would you like to be in a Russian tank when he was flying overhead?<br/>

RE: And Then I Found Blitzkrieg...

You guys are making it sound like I'm the resident pro or something. NOT.

It's been forever and a day since I played a previous version of this game and I'm finding I'm having to relearn a lot (A Whole Lot !!!).

Lots of fun though.

RE: Blue Arrows

The "Blue Line" thing happened to me too and I didn't know what it was. I was totally locked up and ended up just closing down the game. No biggie because I was just goofing off but it's good to know how to get out of it if the situations repeats itself.
