The Great War

The Cannon Corsair is amazing. I love all the Corsairs though. Especially the Marine Corps model.

So, dose anyone out there play this or any other similar tabletop games?

For those that dont know, its a game based on batallion level combat during world war 2. There are several different nations you can play as, such as the US, Britian and her empire, Germany Italy and the Soviet Union, along with the minor nations of Hungary, Finland and Roumania.

I started playing as the soviets during their mid-war series, but I’ve never really been more of a casual player, I like collecting and painting the models more then playing sometimes. I’ve been thinking about branching out into other armies like the Italians and Hungarians. Next month their early-war series will be released allowing people to play as France, and i’ve thought about playing as them too.

Anyone else play

p.s intresting how their release seems to mirror that of A&A?  :-D

No one has heard of AGEod’s American Civil War computer game?

My son just purchased it for $10 with Christmas Money.  He thought it would be an action game but it is not.  It is very detailed though and I’m still trying to figure out how to play it.

If you have a computer, then this is one of the best operational games out there, super deep, super detailed, NOT recommended for the non-detailed oriented.  Fetures include: a 1-2 or 3 days “turn”, leaders managment, pilot training, resources managment, oil, fuel, supplies, production, super accurate OOB, a 40 km map that covers from the western US to India and Mongolia to New Zealand.  Best played PBEM, but playing the AI is good too.  Very well supported by a very dedicated group of designers/players.

Anyone interested in kicking some tires via PBEM or PBF?

I’ve always found the history of the War card game quite interesting, especially when you compare it to Solitaire. War is one of those classic card games that is so simple yet engaging, much like Solitaire. Both games have been around for ages and have a sort of timeless appeal. War is thought to date back to at least the 19th century, and it is often one of the first card games kids learn because of its simplicity. Solitaire, on the other hand, has a rich history that goes back even further, with origins in Europe in the late 18th century. What I find fascinating about War is that it relies heavily on luck, while solitaire requires a bit more strategy and patience. This makes each game unique in its way. War is straightforward and fast-paced, which is great for quick, casual play. Solitaire can be more relaxing and requires a bit more thought, which can be very satisfying when you finally win. Both games have their charm and offer different kinds of enjoyment. War might not have the depth of solitaire, but it has its own appeal in its simplicity and the way it can quickly decide a winner. I think both games have survived for so long because they are easy to learn and play, making them accessible to everyone, regardless of age or skill level.

Sure :))

it was a great game… and yes it did try out some elements used later in newer games.
The expansion was a bit easier than in A&A (you cant just bump a tank into a IC and then new small IC’s fly out and populate the world :D

But also remember Command HQ, the first realtime strategy game… and that also had elements that are used in A&A :)
