Fortress America - How do you win with America???

How many of ya’ll play ‘Fortress America?’ I play this game which was released with Axis and Allies in the game master series and is quite popular. It was printed extensively in the 1980’s and reprinted in 2012. If any of you want to see the added section under other games upvote and/or comment, thanks.

It’s based on Robert Heinlein books and 50’s sci-fi stuff

HBG’s Amerika isn’t out yet!  I paid big money as a backer and havn’t seen a damn thing!

Waiting for it…

That’s true.  The supply lines also make it difficult for the invader but challanging non the less.  Linkon, you played a rough game if you went into turns 7 and 8, the game is supposed to end after the 6th turn. :-D

That is correct.

:-o
  I have several copies of CotE. I got them to play miniatures with. Painted up and all the figures and paced them on multiple stands as cohorts.
The game was lacking special events, so we made up some cards. Gothic invasion- retreat all army units from Gaul, Vesuvius erupts- lose 1/2 units in southern Italy, Plauge in Athens- troops in Greece are decimated- lose 1/2 your force there. There were good cards too, like, Good harvest-gain 5 gold! Deplomacy- no one can attack you this turn, as long as you don’t attack anyone else.
It really livened up the game and cold put the brakes on someones steam-roller invasions. I liked it alot myself. I am tempted to get the newer version soon.
Played FA back in the 80s’ too, but didn’t like it as much as AA.
Shogun is a great multiplayer game due to the deplomacy. Had to paint those armies too.
Also had that Bucaneer game for awhile. Couldn’t get anyone to play it though, so I traded it for another CotE game, More cohorts!

I think Julius Ceasar said it best; “Now were in for it!”

Seems like a good game to get.  Its just hilarious that the medic looks like a Brain Surgeon, and the sniper looks like a Cowboy.  It cracks me up.

I’ve got shogun but only just started playing it, lots of fun! Diplomacy is fun, and best when played with lots of players and lots of rooms to slink back to and negotiate. It’s been years since I played, we used to have a box to put your written moves down for each turn, of course nothing prevents you from showing your “allies” you move, stick it in the box, then slip in a new set of orders with “Supercedes previous orders”, backstarbbing is the name of the game…. :-)

Anybody here of a game called Nuke-war? A card game. What about a board game called apocalypse? Map of europe and north africa, 1 kind of piece, chains of various valued territries to get more men (2 green territories=1 man, 3 yellow=1, 4 tan=1 or 8 white=1). Combat was simple, you pick a # on a dice and so does the enemy. If the # is the same, you lose that # of men, if not, you win, he loses a unit and you get 1 stage to a new nuke missle or start a new missle with that stage. If the enemy is wiped out, you move that # of men in…
