DogOnPorch Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 Any old wargamers here? SPI? GDW? TSR? Avalon Hill (of course)? Etc? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wargame I used to have a massive collection...but then that wonderful person known as my first wife snagged most of them and sold 'em off. ------------------------------------- There is (General Thomas) Jackson standing like a stone wall.

White Doors Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 I used to play hearts of Iron 1 & 2 quite of bit. I am a total war series fan as well. Looking quite forward to Empire Total war due out in Feb. Quote Those Dern Rednecks done outfoxed the left wing again.~blueblood~
M.Dancer Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 Closest thing to a boardgame wargame I have ever played was Harpoon. On the otherhand I have been in a couple of real war games and schemes....they tend to be realistic and therefore, boring. Now paintball.....not boring, very aerobic and mostly harmless... Quote RIGHT of SOME, LEFT of OTHERS If it is a choice between them and us, I choose us
Army Guy Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) but then that wonderful person known as my first wife snagged most of them and sold 'em off. Now there is a polictically correct term for ex wifes....i got a few to, but there not as kind as yours.... Used to play panzer commander seris, Brigade level armoured warfare, WWII and modern armies....before that it was Mech brigade, another SSI computer game.... On the otherhand I have been in a couple of real war games and schemes....they tend to be realistic and therefore, boring. Yes but the beer was good, thats when we could have beer, when they treated us as adults.... paintball.....not boring, very aerobic and mostly harmless... Paintball, is a blast, until someone snaps one off to your bag, or knuckles....then you wished you brought your cup... Have you tried sim-anition, it's paintball, in the form of a real bullet, much more range, and it hurts like hell when it strikes....all designed to be fired from modified C-7,C-8, rifles and C-9 LMG's they also have 9mm for pistols as well.... leaves nasty little marks...but drives home the piont of duck and cover....

We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.

Peter F Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 I had a bunch of GDW AH VG and SPI games during the late 70's. They ended up being tossed. Cudda made a bundle on Ebay if I had lugged them around long enough. Quote A bayonet is a tool with a worker at both ends
