@tmartin Yes they can.
Maginot line

All of these were major aspects of the war, but it becomes too tedious to model every detail. The game would become mind dullingly long and over-complicated. .
And how do you spell ASL?
#574
ASL? What is that?
Sorry, Advanced Squad Leader. If insurance companies made wargames they’d have rulebooks like ASL.
#577
Or like world in flames

Maybe I am slow… are you guys comparing complicated rulebooks from different games to this discussion? If so, I get it now. Congradulations me. It does not help that I have never played the games you two spoke of.

neither have I. ASL is a tactical wargame based on hexes. The size of one hext corresponds to a very small piece of land. This is fine for single battles, but world in flames uses hexes for the entire globe :-o :-o :-o

Looks like you got the spelling right. If you had another point here I am afraid I have missed it.
[OK knowing that if you have to explain a joke……]
Well anyway, my point was that you sounded like you were describing ASL.
Perhaps I’m dating myself by using the tagline from the Rolaids commercials (how do you spell relief / R-O-L-A-I-D-S) to make the simile.
The fact that I was asking how to spell an acronym was additional self-deprecating humour. Or an attempt at same.
Ahhh nevermind.#579

Yeah, sorry to ruin it. The humor didn’t get through to me without the customary vocal inflection.
All hexes in World in Flame … ughh, how awful. I would hate to play a global game like that. I think hexes sap the life out of me or something.

hmmm I don’t see the Maginot line….

Neither would I. I like strategic games better than tactical ones. In those games, I’m not sure if there are values to territories. Axis and allies is a good balance between simplicity and complexity
