Anyone still playing Board wargames?

World War II - Multimedia WWII Games
#1

I am working on a new scenario for Russian Front, an old Avalon Hill game from the 80s. It’s a fantastic game and there is still a community of gamers that play it. A couple have created map extensions to include the Caucasus and Berlin so Grozny and Baku are now on-board objectives and the game can be extended into 1945.

I’m retooling Fall Blau into an introductory scenario using the map extensions for the Caucasus. It’s been a ton of fun pulling out the counters and map and replaying this great game!

Anyone else still enjoying board games covering WWII or other eras?

#2

I play Flames of War

#3

i play axis and allies every now and then

#4

I have that game also, fun game. Quite forgot about it, maybe I’ll get it out of mothballs.

#5

I like playing A&A, but its really complicated, and my dad and I are the only ones who play it.

#6

Axis and Allies? Complicated??? It’s a classic beer-and-pretzels game! :confused:

#7

Which version are you playing? We play the world-wide version.

#8

I’ve played every version except the very latest. But I’ve seen the latest one and it never struck me as complicated… :mrgreen:

#9

I love it i usually play as the usa or the sov union

#10

The SU is the most fun in my opinion. I only with they and Britain could mount a co-op assault like the UK and the States… If I could, Norway would have gone down.

#11

Yes, the Soviet Union is the hardest and a little more fun. If you can withstand the initial German strike, you have a good chance. Another way is for the SU to mount a kind of “suicide charge” and reduce Germanys strength for a good while. This helps to be able to build up defensive forces.

#12

Or if you can contain the usual first attack against the territory with Leningrad in it, you can flank the northern most German position, and it gives you a nice base of operations for attacking Norway.

#13

Yea im pretty good ive only lost one time against my cuz he’s really good

#14

We’ve never finished a game, so equality for now.

#15

I’ve had my share of wins and losses at this game. That’s what makes it fun.
Off topic: What’s cyber nations about, y’all can PM me, site looked interesting.

#16

I still like Risk lol

#17

Until I got into miniatures, I was playing a lot of Avalon Hill, SPI and GDW. Blitzkreig and Squad Leader were particular favourites. Then there was a lot of book gaming. Then I started painting more than gaming. Now I don’t even do that.

#18

I’d like to get in on the miniatures games. For now, I’m stuck with classic board games

I still like Risk lol

No shame in that, my friend!

#19

My g/f and I bought A&A today but we just figure the rules out… We play RISK a lot tho.

Anyone that could explain how that game works??
