Cheaper Memoir 44 style games?

I thought there was already a topic on this, but I couldn’t find it.

So, I played this twice last year with 5 friends.  The first game (for all of us) I won as the Starks on the super rare third (and final) tie breaker by a dollar (I think that’s how it went).  The second game we got too drunk and someone dropped a phone on the board and screwed up the entire placement, so it was left out.

Anyway, does anyone have an opinions on it?  I’d love to talk strategy, especially since it’s been almost a year since we played and I’d like a refresher.  had some ideas but don’t know how they’d work out.

Very balanced game it feels like, even though it’s fairly complicated.

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:

@Imperious:

Wait did Avalon Hill get into the soap business? I have soaps like those in my bathroom. They smell good too.

The ones we’re not supposed to ever touch?  Along with the towels we’re not supposed to use to dry our hands?

I like TripleA alot. I haven’t played the other PC game since I downloaded TripleA.

Quick update, the PC demo is now available for download.

ANYWAY, I bet this guy doesn’t even have an honest copy of the A&A boardgame. He probably downloaded the rules someplace and made a board out of linoleum and plastic pieces out of used gum and pipe-cleaners.

Too much work, I’d say.

I love the date on this posting.
