I still have my "Final Deluxe Edition" and DAYS OF DECISION III, but it seems just too much of a good thing. I loved WORLD IN FLAMES when it was in its second edition and it's just gotten out of hand, in my opinion. If I ever get into a location w...
nah...its just you...the higher the rank...the shorter the attention span :)
And now they have slides that you can actually slide down without the mandatory three kids behind you which would make short work of anything that might have been between the steel slide and your butt.

ON PLAYGROUNDS
I recently took the kidlets to a neighborhood park. As I watched them running around having fun and screaming with reckless abandon, it stuck me how different parks today are from their counterparts of yore. Here are some examples:
LOCATION: Now – The site is chosen with great care for its scenic beauty and is professionally landscaped. The park is lighted and the sidewalks are clean. The parking is accessible to many cars and there is usually a soccer field and a softball field.

THE GAMES BUCKET LIST
Ok, we all have them...the shelf warmers, covered in dust because we said "Hey, that looks cool!" when we bought them and promptly moved on. You don't want to sell them, but can never find the time to play them. These are are the games we have but want to play before we die. Mine are:

Wacht Am Rhien (SPI Version)
Atlantic Wall
This Terrible Sound
Bloody Omaha (ATS)

- Got my copy of BALTIC GAP over the weekend and was fondling the east map...looking at the road from Tartu to Tallinn and remembering driving back and forth across that landscape. Now, when can we play it?

Those pesky Iranians! LOL
After turn 1, the Iranians are starting to force their way into Salyan and disrupt the local population, as the Azeris move south.
Granted, there hasn't been much out there to compare this game with. But as a military simulation, it stands head and shoulders over many other attempts. I'll admit, I've only played scenarios and never gotten through the campaign. But I liked thi...
The detail of the US Stryker company coming into the airfield is still loading onto their vehicles, and starts the scenario rather slowly.
The detail around Salyan for the setup.
Following the Iranian assault on Salyan, and initial capture of the city, the Iranians pulled out of the area to avoid a protracted occupation battle in Salyan. In the meantime, the Azeris have pieced together a mech infantry company, and the US l...
I remember playing KORSUN POCKET at one of the earliest MONSTER.CONs in Tempe. Jack tells me the revision benefits from a great deal of OOB scrubbing, with the help of Dave Glantz's access into the Soviet archives since this game was first publish...
I have VG's Pacific War. I've set it up and played through a couple of Operational level scenarios. It's a "serious" wargame. I enjoyed it, reminded me a bit about work (I am a project manager) so maybe not everyone's cup of tea. The design is imp...
Andy, nobody's done it yet. You could start one on ALAMEIN. What do you think of it?
Does anybody lament the loss of the WINTER STORM series? I remember when I got my copy of the original WINTER STORM--I think it was put out by Vanguard Games orginally. For me, a gamer who had learned about the Stalingrad counteroffensive from SPI...
How realistic is it that this game will be republished? I have the old original and agree it's an epic - one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. Also have NES's Killing Ground and would agree that this is an ideal format for a reprint.
Flying Colors
GMT also did a great job on the remake of Avalon Hill's game, SUCCESSORS. While I've not played it, people I know that have played both versions like what GMT did with it. Haven't seen nor played Mayfair Games' 3d Edition remake of the venerable G...
I tried to find a consimworld on AP's monster game Alamein but couldn't - can this be correct? I was actually contemplating buying this......
