Got invited to play Axis & Allies Global 1940 this weekend. Should I?  :huh:
I played the original back in the day, it was fun but I was around 15 at the time.

Just purchased Assault and Boots & Saddles on BGG. Played the shit outta this system in the day. I bought these in '85 and when a new expansion came out. I have all the maps in my PB/PL game boxes, just not the rest of the games...strange.

Bundeswehr, Chieftain, and Reinforcement are going to be harder to find. :(

:menace: Ah, very familar. From BGG


That map brings back some old memories.

How different is it from the original?  The original was only fun if you had newbs or retards playing the Allies.

Another vote in for Victory Games' Civil War.  Don't bother with the Indian/West nonsense.

HFD is a Paul Rohrbaugh joint and, universally, his games are condemned among anyone who actually wants a fun/serious wargame.  Avoid at all costs.
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.

Hey Habs, I have been playing two games of Few Acres as the Brits against random Yucata folk and both French-playing fuckers insisted on a zerg rush of sieges and raids.

Now I understand that they are using it to good effect right now, since I have been trying to both block them and expand on the sides which isnt really working out, but is this really a viable French strategy? It must be godawful boring, but effective? The Brits have tons more military cards and easier income sources.

It is fuckin' annoying.

Still F'ing with Guards Tank. Working on a focused Prokhorovka scenario with JM's go ahead. Here's a map showing the general deployment guidelines for the 10 July '43 start. In order for the whole game to work, partially at least, it needs a map extension off the west edge.
