Sick to death of fiddly miniatures - I'm going back to basics

@Imperious:

I play EE, but you may notice the blocks often take more space than the pieces. Especially in Russia.

However get Neppa Games ETO which does have counters that would work for AA.

I’ll not be using wooden blocks but rather squares of card, which can be stacked on top of one another for ease of space.

Speaking of block games: Have you played Eastern Front by Columbia Games? We played that also on saturday… I think it’s my new favourite game and will be securing a copy tomorrow  (with Euro & western front as a bundle pack).

@Brain:

You are right this is sacrilege

The gameplay wont change though, merely the aesthetics  :evil:

I have all these block games. East front, west front, medd front, too complicated and boring.

What about Europe Englufed or Asia Engufled?

[Imperious Leader]

I was talking about EE, I also have Asia Engulfed, but have not played it. I know it is pretty tedious game as well from the rules.

I have played EE many times. Its not nearly as fun as AA

This takes me back to the old days of Squad Leader.  I wish I could find that game in my closet.

How do you lose something in your closet?

I was actually surprised as to how uncomplicated Eastern Front actually was, for I thought it would be more so.

And boring? I have to disagree: the game has such depth and realism and yet is surprisingly easy to grasp.

The closet is in my parents home, over 100 miles away.  I don’t think the game is still in the closet.  But, I wish I could find it there.

Yeah, my parents threw away a lot of my cool stuff too that I left in the garage.
