Best Battle Cry Battle?

Oh man, I’ve been looking for a copy for a long time myself! I’m looking forward to the revamped version.

Battle Group Tampa is getting active again. At the moment we have 8 active and semi active members with some possible additions that have expressed interest.

Anyone in or around the Tampa Bay area that is interested in regular SFB and tournament play can sound off in this thread or shot me an email at:

WOTR  is not a pure wargame; it also has the role-playing element of the Fellowship carrying the ring to Ordruin.

BOTFA is a better option if you just want a stand-up fight between fantasy armies. Don’t like Gandalf’s range-finder, though. Seems completely wrong for an area movement game.

I played this game extensively in the 80s with my friends and we used miniatures… I’m sure my collection is up in the attic collecting dust.

Some things are best left as fond memories.

I’ve just bought the game recently and found that it could be a great starter for potential wargamers. As frimmel said, it’s quick, fun and fairly easy to learn.

Playing this with a few friends has them at least interested in trying a game of AA41. From there, maybe 1942 or anniversary.

Does anyone remember Hidden & Dangerous? It was a tactical squad-based FPS that was based on SAS missions in WWII.

It was so difficult, it was basically the “Dark Souls” of WWII shooters. One wrong move would trigger the alarm for an entire base and you would die in a hail of bulletfire. None of this “one man army” Call of Duty stuff, you had to think about every move, every kill to complete the mission.

I have fond memories of sitting around a CRT monitor with a couple of my friends, blanket draped over our heads so we could see better in the night missions, knuckles white with tension. Come to think of it, our moms were probably wondering what the hell we were looking at…  :lol:

Yeah, that’s the game.  It was something between the simplest RPG-like game you can play and actual D&D.  The gamemaster could make their own scenarios, if they wanted.

Awesome pic Frimmel, makes me want to play it again.
