Guns of August!

My last count was 200+ wargames, not counting magazine games. Been buying them for 35 years now. I love computer games, but nothing is better than making faces at your opponent across a map full of counters.[:D]

[Mynok]

(Ah, blessed voice from the darkness........Yes, I've been collecting for a good 26 years myself. Haven't counted but it's probably close to 100)

Third Reich!

[rtrapasso]

how about chess? There's probably 130 chess programs out there...[:D]

[Mike Solli]

Are you into the monster games?

[Mynok]

I must rest, brothers..........rejuvenate with some beer..........(and go home where I can see what is left in the cabinet cause my brain is stumped)

[Mynok]

I've played Longest Day. It's a good game. World in Flames might considered such and I've played it.

Never got into the Europa series though.

[Mike Solli]

Avalon Hill's The Longest Day. Actually finished that one. The Allies won in the last week. Took me 13 months to finish.

[Mike Solli]

Ever play The Gamers games? Their operational combat series is wonderful.

[Mynok]

I've also commanded a vessel in the Battle of Trafalgar (Close Action rules) on a gymnasium floor using scale, scratch-built SOL models. [:D]

With 100 other guys....that's pretty monstrous........

[Mynok]

I was never much of a tactical guy. Always liked the strategic level much better. I've not played anything from The Gamers.

[Mike Solli]

Sounds like fun. Tried Napoleonic miniatures. Not enough time to paint the gazillions of figures. Also, no opponent.[:(]

[Mynok]

Exceptions exist, of course, and I really did like the Squad Leader series up until ASL, as well as SPWAW. Close Action is a tactical game too, though it is naval warfare.

spam is yummy. [:'(] I grew up on spam as my grandfather worked for Hormels.

[Mike Solli]

Their operatonal series is 2 turns per week. Units are divisions, specialty regiments/bn, and Panzer divisions are broken down into about 8 or so units (bns and regiments). Lots of fun.

MOO was the best computer game ever, hands down, no contest, I'll smack the spineless, pathetic sack of slugs that disagrees. [:@]

Too bad MOO II and MOO III sucked bad and sucked worse, respectively.

[Mynok]

Tried Napoleonic miniatures.

I watched a game using the old Empire rules. It looked fun, but the painting sounded tedious.

OTOH, I really got into WRG 7th ancient miniatures. Have a partially painted Early Achaemenid Persian army that I have to convert to DBA/M rules now.... [:(]
