I lost the initiative on turn 8 in my game. It's been many years ago that I last played GS and I can't seem to remember this ever happening before. Is this an "end of the world" thing for the proud Soviet armies?? I know he'll be putting some part...
Of course.
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...
Mark,
Interesting. I'm to start turn 7 of scenario 2 at our gaming section tonight. One problem I see is that if you use the optional rule about subs becoming undetected immediately upon being out of any unit's detection range then how could you l...
Where you guys playing??
A series responsible for many a strained marriage and relationship, not to mention the severe restrictions it gives us in reduced living space when set up. Why do we do it? Certainly we must be a special breed worthy of our own group. Enter!
I'm wondering if there is anyone interested in a game of Gulf Strike in the NE Baltimore area. I host a gaming group at my house every Monday evening and have tried without success until recently to get a game going. I'm now playing scenario one j...

- Hey Steven,
I am not close to Baltimore, but I am wondering what scenario you would want to play in Gulf Strike, do you have the expansion Dessert Shield? Did you come up with or find a a way to game the Iraqi Freedom?

If anyone's interested in a place for some political discussion, there's a forum dedicated to it over at Wargamer.com. Once you register for the forums, you have to PM the moderator for access, but it's there and it's pretty bare-knuckled without ...
I really want to see the SPI ModQuads done with newer, more-modern maps, and a bit of a rules/combat cleanup. Great games at a very nice scale.
Group to discuss boardgame Map Making.
Where amateur and published map makers can discuss and assist each other with techniques and methods used in creating boardgame maps.
(not a group for arguments about what map style or software app is best)
We just need to make a push to the preorders to make this real!! ;-)
Thanks a lot for your words, really appreciate.
Mike -
Send me an email at skdixon @ bellsouth.net that way I have you on record.
Eric Walters just started a thread (http://social.consimworld.com/profiles/blogs/remakes-worth-it-or-not) that I personally think will generate a lot of activity. Let's see if I'm wrong.
I've been awaiting L2 Design Group's announced redo of Panzergruppe Guderian since 2004. The game is just a lot of fun, and it's simple. Something my aging rules-addled mind appreciates. Alas it looks like it's one of the last things they're inter...
Steve, please include me in on the playtest when it's ready.
This is the kind of work that I really wish I could do!
It is a pleasure to look at!
I've noticed that remakes of older games have gotten quite a head of steam. "Back in the day" it used to be we could look forward to Avalon Hill doing that. They'd take SPI games (AFRIKA KORPS, CONQUISTADOR, FREEDOM IN THE GALAXY, FREDERICK THE GR...
Nico, while I love this "naturalistic look," I also like understanding the topography at a glance--the shades of higher elevation being slightly lighter than the ground below it. It's an aesthetic thing and I'm sure that others will disagree with ...
Smitty,
I have only upset/annoyed/disagreed with one person on here, and you were not him, and yes, I think it would take a lot to upset/annoyed/disagree you.
