I used to love playing battlefield board games, like “Afrika Korps”.
Try it on a computer. The Operational Art of War IV. There are several Youtube videos about how to play the game.
There is a LOT of us out here who still play it (and other games). GREAT game.
I once got a game of AK with Cory Wells of Three Dog Night fame. Highlight of Life there! He was a great guy...taken WAY too soon.
On the other end of the spectrum, there is “the Campaign for North Africa”, where you have to track gallons of water, ammo, fuel and many other items. Sheldon on “Big Bang Theory” set it up on the show last season.
