[sherman28]

Loved Stratego, Chinese Checkers, Monopoly (still play that with my oldest).

did you disqulify Risk- Love that one!

[Janus1]

Stratego was awesome, before they bastardized it with the 4 player edition

I’m an old Chess player myself.

[Janus1]

chess is good, only if you have a good opponent. i played a friend once ,and (i swear to god) i pulled the same 4 move checkmate on him twice in a row

[El Jefe]

Silly me. I thought everyone would understand…

1)A&A
2)A&AE
3)A&AP

were given perpetual 1, 2, and 3 position and needn’t be included!

Of course, Risk is the perennial 4th position!

[Drumstix]

Has anybody ever played
1. Panzer Leader
2. Luftwaffe
?

2 great games from the 70’s. Panzers is all about tactical warfare on the western front, Luftwaffe is about the allies bombing Germany.
Both excellent, not quite as good as A&A or A&AE but still good.

[El Jefe]

Ah, yes. Pre-PC.
Panzer Leader…little cardboard squares maneuvering across a board with hexagonal spaces!

If I’m right, I just had a gameback(game flashback.)

Hex games rule …
as long as the rulebook is more than 12495 pages :)

[El Jefe]

Damn straight!

You are not old enough. :P
That’s an early '70’s comment.

You’re right. :wink: Today’s generation has barely enough of an attention span to learn how to play A&A. My friend got a hex-based game about carrier warfare in the pacific-we attempted to learn how to play, but when the rulebook proved to be written by a team of attorneys, flipped a coin to determine the winner. I won twice, followed by a couple of wins from him. :P

[Guerrilla Guy]

1.Stratego
2.Monopoly
3.Axis and Allies

[Janus1]

Damn Straight!

[sherman28]

Does FRP’s like Dungeons & Dragons count?
Or at least the wargame Rules AKA CHAINMAIL?
ok Hex games:

Third REich anyone?

[TG Moses VI]

Yes… everybdoy loves Third Reich :D

But I had my fill of hex based games ever since the dread Campaign for North Africa

[Janus1]

Classic Battletech is pretty good, esp. if you can get a bunch of people, and have large scale battles.

[El Jefe]

Damn straight!

Now, cut that out!

Jan__, go mow the lawn and straighten up the garage.
And leave your music in your room and
turned off until you’re done with those chores!

[Janus1]

puh, the lawn is too big and covered with rocks for me to mow, my parents couldnt afford me :wink: . and theres nothing in the garage
