John Tiller

Post by Schani59 »

I heard that John Tiller passed away a few days ago. I am to miss his touch in wargames. I have 22 of his
titles. Rest in peace.

Thanks for posting that to forum Schani59 - I'm sure many of us have a number of his titles, taking us old board wargamers into the PC.

Seek peace but keep your gun handy.

Has anyone played his games by e-mail? I still play his tactical level WW2 game versus computer. Although I haven't searched extensively for better, I still find his games a good challenge.

I have played the Tiller Panzer Campaign series by email = great fun. Also have a few of the tactical games. You can find email opponents for all of the Tiller games at https://www.theblitz.club if you are interested.

Schani (op) and I have been playing turns every month for probably over 10 years by PBEM - works great. John Tiller's Campaign Series (West Front/East Front)

One of my favorite games on all times - West Front. Possibly for just the music alone

I still remember getting it from Hastings in Hutchinson KS after a dentist appointment - I'd guess over 20+ years ago. Brought home Sid Meier's Gettysburg at the same time.

They just don't make games like they used to.

Talon is correct - Blitz is a good place to look at for JT games

Yes Jeff and I play and correspond frequently thanks to John Tiller's great games.

Okay Jeff I know you are busy with the kids baseball and other activities. You won 'Checkmate on Kakazu Ridge'. So your choice of scenarios you prairie baboon.[:D]

One of the greats of this game, Joe Wilkerson, designed the Budapest '45 scenario. No doubt, he is off to do other great deeds for such as us.
