Cool! Do you ever play any Role Playing Games? I like Twilight 2000 and The Morrow Project. I did a lot of time with D&D too.

Those Avalon Hill games were an epic challenge to play. Charts, Stat sheets, reference booklets, forms to fill out, and tons of pieces.

I’m tempted to dust some of mine off until I see that it will take hours to just to make sure all the pieces are there!

Grognard of long standing here.

I’ve played Advanced Squad Leader for about fifteen years now. If you want complexity, it’s hard to beat Red Barricades or Valor of the Guards for good old-fashioned Stalingrad cardboard street wars.

Might take a look at Game of Thrones though. My whole family has read, or is reading, the series.

I remember one particular Avalon Hill game I use to play with my friends back in the 1980’s, it was called “Wilderness Survival” or something like that. There were various scenarios, such as “escaped convict” and “lost in the woods”. The game was incredibly tough and you virtually always ended up crawling through the woods getting attacked by animals and dying of thirst. Which, for some reason, was hilarious after an evening of drinking.

cool. i started playing ah games in 1960 when i eas 9. we had a discussion, i think in the matrix games forum about how we younguns were so much better at geography and arithmetic in school through high scholl because we played wargames, and reading up on what we were playing.

AH used to make an rpg called Tales from the floating Vagabond. This wawas a blast if you had a suitably crazy game master. I used to enjoy D&D (boxed sets), Shadowrun, and Battletech. Getting a real job and Magic the Gathering killed game night. I really miss it sometimes.

I've always enjoyed Solitaire .. much improved since the leap from 16 to 32 bit architecture !

Here's my all time favorite. I wonder if we could get seven people together for a Freepmail round??

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.
