Gears of War

WE have done on our own longtime ago based on the xeno game but we change the rules, map and chart.278999193_2826327174327899_1594387835970128913_n.jpg 278671828_728074555207246_8848699411888115333_n.jpg 279156672_3237479476496915_4160741075211625688_n.jpg

I haven’t played this in a while. Maybe my group missed something. It always seemed to me thought that France could easily hold its coast while running over Austria and even Prussia if necessary and then slowly over power Russia since they are making so much money at that point. I always found that Britain’s only chance was to try to run through Spain and hopefully do it faster than France gets through Prussia and Austria, then kill France from both sides. However, it has been a while and my opponents tended to also make major mistakes so that could have lead to me finding this game very one sided.

Gopher I would follow krieghund’s link if you are playing the Xeno board game. If this is question regarding TripleA WAW variants I can’t really help I’m not  an experienced TripleA user and I’m not even sure if TripleA’s clone is a “genuine clone” as WWII is a “clone” of Axis & Allies. Try posting in the “variants” section of the A&A.org site, you may find your answer there.

Personally I never bought or played any of the Xeno games or pieces but at one time they filled a niche where A&A was absent as well as Table Tactics.

Best of luck.

Here is the BGG link. Some action shots

The 1917 game was fun!

I like the fact that you can upgrade units and the strategy you employ is different to win each battle.

Anyone interested in kicking some tires via PBEM or PBF?

I played through the first couple of levels for the Xbox 360. It’s not a bad FPS and the story line for the game is pretty good. However, it plays just like the Ghost Recon series on 360 and it really has not outstanding qualities that I saw. I personally would go with Rainbos Six Vegas 2, so far it’s much better.
