The Boer War

Post by Ginetto »

Has any thought been given to develop a Boer War game? I was thinking of something along the lines of the very successful AGEOD model which handles well great distances. I just finished reading a history of the Boer War and thought it would make interesting gaming.

Gino, yes, there hasn't been much on the Boer Wars, sizeable conflict, 1880-81 and 1899-1902, roughly 3 years. I'd like to AGEOD or the like develop something. Here are two links to games that went nowhere.

The folks that made Vietnam 65 were talking about maybe bringing the system over to do Boer War game down the road.

I hope so. We have skads of games on WWII and the Cold War and even the Roman Empire, while others are way inderepresented. Frankly, I've had my fill of the Eastern Front.
