If the west won the cold war was in large part due to the foundation work made by McNamara. He rebuilt the US military after the Ike years were bad policy and bad strategy collpased any form of real deterrance.

I play LOF scenarios quite often... there is even a battle report on LOF6 penned by ome on a previous LOF scenario. also I think one of the scenario in B&B that uses some counters for Eisenbach. Also look at battle withing Battles expansion that c...
IMHO, and I am biased it is worth. Same system but two different situations. In Eisenbach you have americans versus soviet (M1, M113, M901, some bradleys T72, T55, T62 BMP1 and BTR) B&B add the british army of the Rhine, some older US equipment an...

Hermann Luttmann said… - Thanks for your help! I'm printing the mag now and it is taking a LONG time to print on my HP Color Laserjet here at work. I did notice that the counters will print too large. I'll work on them and hopefully they will come out well. Good gaming!

- Well ... after I sent the last message to you I broke down and bought LOF 3! You only live once .. right? You designed that unit? Great work ... I can't wait to try them out in battle. My only concern is mounting the counters properly so they look nice. It would be a shame to ruin such nice counters with a lousy mounting job.

- I do like playing the West Germans in World at War and I love the Leopards! This piece is actually from Line of Fire magazine and is gorgeous. I haven't had the chance yet to buy the mag, I just downloaded the image from the LnL website. It's alot prettier than a picture of me!

Turn before Barbarossa ends, Even with killing a lot of Russians come spring 42 it was too late. He'd only taken Keiv and Oddessa when we called it.
Really?
On Monday night Tehran and Konark fell - a good turn for the Reds. Having Konark is especially sweet as I've got two airbases to fly in and I'll put 3 MIG 23's on intercept on one base and two MIG 23's and a Backfire on offensive on the other. The...
I Actually left the Arma, VBS2 and OFP days behind. Yet since i am a noob at Wargames, Hex, turn based, I'd be willing to play as opponents on an easy game by e-mail or however it is played remotly.
If you are interested drop me an e-mail
Discuss Dan's games, strategies, reviews, etc.
Oh that's ugly - when is this?
You'v got OPERATION BARBAROSSA published by Matrix. It is inspired by Panzer General. It is a turn based, Hex based, simple, attractive and challenging enough for a beginner. I think it is a good start. I have the game, played it and liked it. Koo...
Robert, if you're talking about AAR's (after action reports), I'm sure boardgamegeek has some. Go to www.boardgamegeek.com and on their main window, just type in the game you're interested in. They'll then show you different game covers if there a...
No I have never played AH Russian Front. This is a fourth version of AH's Russian Campaign.
Are there any replay articles available on line about AH's Russian Front?
You may know this already but Schwerpunkt's , the title, is a computor game about the entire Russian campaige of WW2. It does use hexes but I hope you have a large screen.
GMT games, the ancient battle series.
Looks like my room too.
