(I have plenty of two and four player games)

What are good four player war games? Four being the full complement.
I don't think I have any.

Angola. Angola. Angola. Angola.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

At a stretch, Clash of Monarchs is also decent as a 4-player game, but really shines best as a 3-player game.

Well, I am waiting for World in Flames, Collector's Edition! We have nine guys at the local club eagerly anticipating its arrival and the start of a brand new Global War campaign (of course). Really excited about this, been almost ten years since my last bout with Wallets in Flames.  :bowler:

Will play the US, by the way.
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen, and keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again; but don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin, and there's no telling who that it's naming. For the loser now will be later to win, cause the times they are a-changin'. -- B Dylan

Anyone have experience of Triumph & Tragedy?


I am always so frustrated by 'Origin of WWII' type games. The game is always so rigged against the poor Third Republic so even with perfect hindsight you are fucked.

I am not sure that is because it was indeed rigged against France, certainly plenty of evidence to suggest that, or if it let's the French leadership off the hook for their failures in critical moments by suggesting that they were doomed to failure anyway.

Is Habbaku ever going to run a game of this?

I know why Berkut is off the Nerd Grid, but what's Habs' excuse?

Whenever I run a game, you guys take 3 years to do a move that takes 10 seconds.
