@jday305 Those were the GDW Third World War Series, WWIII Germany, Northern Front, Southern Front and Persian Gulf. They were fun, I still have the Germany and PG games myself. Lost the Northern and southern Front games in a move.

Thanks Beachinnole. I loved those games but my house got flooded one year and I lost most of my board games that I had at that time and others through moves. It was too bad as they quit releasing those years ago.

I still have that entire game set. Along with a few other games from bygone days. 400+ in all if I remember correctly...[:D]

Good Hunting.

That must be one hell of a game library...400+ WOW!!![X(]

Yeah, If I were to compare what I am seeing with FPC:RS so far to any of them from that era I would say this is "closer" to the GDW Assault Series with better maps (still have those as well and you encouraged me to break them out/look them over). Of course being from the 80s the Assault Series tried to use the geomorphic maps to get varied terrain for scenarios, like the Arab-Israeli Wars, PB, PL series.

I still have the Assault Series sitting on my shelf. Still stuffed with a bunch of modified rules and such. The good ole days...

I loved those old board games but found after a while it was difficult to set up a game and just leave it over a period of time with young children and their cats not disrupting my game in progress. LOL! I guess that is why I am so pumped about Matrix and their games as I dont have to worry about outside forces screwing up my games; just save and turn off the computer. It was also difficult to find others who would want to spend many long hours to play as opponents. I agree with Beachinnole that the GDW series was the first game I thought of while reading about Flashpoint on these forums and now looking forward to its release.

[BeirutDude]

Yeah, I have everything from Assault the Assault series, except the "Replacements"

The one game I really used to play the heck out of was the Arab-Israeli Wars. I have four sets/games, with custom made boards and counters. I really could play Chinese Farm at the divisional level! Have home made counters for the IDF Southern Command, Ha Sinai Sayeret (Recon) Unit, roller bridge and I even had created 1990s Egyptians with AH-1 Cobras, M60A3s and M113s. These days it's all computer for me but fun to take it all out and look at it every once in a while. The computer stores fast and you can easily play over a period of days, but there was/is something about the God View of being able to see the entire situation on a tabletop map [:)]. Like you said, "The good ole days... [8D]"

I voted for East Germans, but would like to see USMC and Norway with the battles in the winter time.

[CapnDarwin]

The current thought is moving west. Poland, East Germany, Canada and France. Then maybe north.

[Dagfinn]

I say go north!

Norway would imply some really interesting maps. But probably very cumbersome for the AI.

Also rather low unit numbers

[CapnDarwin]

Dagfinn,

The idea is to expand West first (Poland, East Germany, France, Canada) then swing North. Jury is still out on who all the entails, but I would like to see us get into Sweden and Norway and pick up a number of NATO forces in northern Europe. All in good time. [8D]
