<t> The best Civil War board games are made by a company called The Gamer's. They are mostly brigade level, although they have a few at regimental level. The games emphasize morale and command. In fact the system utilizes a miniature's style order system. Formations must have received orders to move ...

<t> I have to agree with you about people wanting perfection. Rarely do I buy a game upon release. I usually wait for reviews to come out. I also wait until a patch has had time to appear. In fact I load the game and then immediatley download the patch. Therefore, most of these games I don't play ...

<t> On the HttR forum several posts have popped up telling stories of gaming with wives and girlfrfiends. What better day than V-Day(pun intended) to share such stories with our brothers in wargaming.<br/>
<br/>
I related one such story on the HttR forum and will kick it off with another here.<br ...

<t> This thread may be degenerating into a "games played with my wife/girlfriend" thread. <br/>
<br/>
My swears she doesn't like board games at all. My friends and I on occassion would invite our wives to join us playing games. Although, we played war games amongst ourselves, to get our peace ...

Is there an anticipated release date yet? The website doesn't offer much information in that regard.

Do we not already have a front line designation system for the human player when we set the depth, length and facing for a formation given a defend order or attack order for that matter?

<t> I formed the 406 between Boxtel and Best running from the RR across through the woods just north of the 101st DZ. After all units had arrived I launched a complex attack against the DZ and over ran it. I took the VP objectives along the main highway NE of the canal. If not for arrival of 30 ...

<t> The funny thing about the argument between to veteran posters who will go unnamed is that they are both right. Because what a person thinks about a game is their OPINION. Opinions are subjective, not objective.<br/>
So they can choose to like or dislike the game and neither is wrong, because it ...

Highway to the Reich: fb.asp?m=551347

<t> Have played Eindoven and Nijmeagan scenarios twice each. Once each for each side. When I play as the Allies, it seems that the German AI attacks piecemeal with his formations. When I play as the German the Allies seem to coordinate formations better. When I play as the German I hold back ...

HttR style D-Day game.
HttR campaign scenario.
WW2 grand strategic.
American Civil War grand strategic.

Glad we could bring a smile to your face Sarge. Most Sarge's are dower faced grumps.[:)]

<t> Alas, I guess what you are saying is that Matrix's HttR sucks me in and gets me revved up playing the scenarios. Then I have to find about 15 square feet of unused sapce in my house, away from the dog and kids. Then I dig out and dust off my copy of SPI's HttR. Then take the next two year's of ...

<t> Ok thanks guys. I understand Fog of War. I didn't consider that it might be showing me formations that are not really there. I figured it was masking unit type, organization and strength. Didn't imagine it might be trying to trick me into believing that the 82nd airborne paradroppeed a Brit ...

<t> In regard to RTS vs Turn Based, I prefer turn based games. Hard to take the old board gamer out of me. In fact I look at computer war games as computer board games. So FPS games don't appeal to me, nor do flight or tank sims. I prefer tactical, operational and strategic turn based games the most ...

KP is probably my next purchase.
Waiting for Empire in Arms

<t> They keep patching the game. Each patch has made it more playable. I've only played the German's and have had virtually no problem crushing the allieds, including invading England with no American intervention. I really enjoyed EU and now play Victoria a lot. I like the grand strategical scale ...

<t> Question can be answered a couple of different ways.<br/>
<br/>
1. First war type game played/owned? Risk and Battle Cry<br/>
<br/>
2. First "real" war game played? Third Reich and Luftwaffe<br/>
<br/>
3. First "real" war game owned? Panzer Blitz<br/>

When I was about 10 years old ...

<t> Maybe this question has already been asked, but, where is the grand campaign scenario? The four primary scenario area's are all fun and challenging. But what about covering the entire campaign? Was this intentionally left out? Is it coming in a download? I hope so, because that is what I'd ...

<t> I finally loaded the game on my business lap top as it kept crashing on my desktop computer.<br/>
<br/>
I have been able to complete the tutorials and a couple of scenarios. What I've notoced when playing the Germans is that the American paratroopers start out with British motorized units or ...
