It’s always important to be the owner of Nuke War in your crowd of gamer friends. I myself have never played a game where I didn’t go first.
Myself, I was a “Wizardry” and Ultima junky on my Apple //e. Modern stuff, blowing things up, I like the basic game of “Continuum,” sort of like an online team version of the old “Spacewar” game, some “Anarchy Online” and I love “World of
Tanks.” My best tank is the basic, no-frill Sherman with the 105mm gun, I won the game for my team with that a few times.
Freecell is fun too.
You are a true aficionado, and a reader of the rules. :)
Have you tried Total War series - it’s a computer game, but provides both strategic and tactical down to the individual unit for a number of historical eras.
I wasn’t able to do much RPG when younger due to be out in the boonies and very few others interested, but was able to find a few others once I hit college and the fleet...good times.
Spent many a weekend playing Rail Baron. For shorter terms we did a lot of King Maker. And for real short terms Acquire. I also liked Star Fleet Battles but never really found a good group.
Speed Circuit was a blast!
Jutland!
Jutland was fun, too, although my brother traditionally plays German . . . and I would get shot to pieces.
Now, wait a minute. In the 60s the AH boxes were clearly labeled for 10 years and up. Do you really want to confess that here?
(I also started playing AH games in the 60s at 9 years old - Battle of the Bulge... good times)

My mom bought me PanzerBlitz when I was in 7th grade.

I'm actually not a 'games' kinda guy, and had never played that one, even tho it's been lurking on this 7 machine since purchase .. lol
I never played Kingmaker, but always wanted to try. SFB was another one but the ship charts always put me off.
This from a guy who has the overrun FP formula in ASL committed to memory. Who knew.
Panzerblitz, or as we liked to call it, “Panzerbush”. I loved the idea of gaming at that scale. Then came Squad Leader and Advanced Squad Leader, and hundreds of pages of rules in fine print. Good stuff. About the time ASL came out I ran out of time to spend on gaming. Maybe after i retire in a few years ...
Cheers,

Yeah, that was it! I just looked it up on Amazon. They actual have a listing for it and some used copies reasonably cheap. I might have to order a copy for old times sake.
