Star Wars Battlefront 2

Listened to audiobook on Thucydides’ History of Peloponnesian War. Has anyone played board game titled Hellenes: Campaigns of the Peloponnesian War? Would make a great multiplayer game. A&A has WWI, Napoleon, Punic 270 BC, variants, but not Peloponnesian Wars (Athens vs Sparta). Would be interested in working together with anyone willing to develop a Greek city state variant for this website.

Thanks. Looks interesting

Lol. This was way bigger than just the 6th army! Thing is, if he was paying attention, he could have prevented me from cutting him off. All he needed to do was reinforce just one of the spaces I had to attack, and that would have done it.

Regardless, he wasn’t winning anyway.

I played this game extensively in the 80s with my friends and we used miniatures… I’m sure my collection is up in the attic collecting dust.

Some things are best left as fond memories.

If you have ever played Total Annihilation or Total Annihilation Kingdoms, or Supreme Commander 1, check this game out.  Its quite different from the first Supreme Commander but actually runs and I think looks better than the first.  Its an RTS game centered around starting off with practically just one unit, your commander and building a base from there.  Mass and Energy are the only 2 resources but research points are technically a resource now.  You can upgrade your structures, units, and commander to help your efforts of winning.

The franchise is known for having gigantic experimental robots and just dominate everything around them with insane weapons and ramped up abilities.  For example, a artillery cannon that is a factory that launches units instead of shells anywhere on the map.  You can build a gigantic magnet to repel or attract enemy units, depending how your mood is  :mrgreen: .  There are 3 factions in the game, all have for the most part unique units that set them apart.

The unit detail is stunning, parts and pieces on all the objects rotate, fold, collapse, transform, move in and out.  Check it out, it got kinda weak reviews, 78 score overall because everyone wanted the same thing remade from the first game which is kinda arrogant I think.

I found this games, and it looks perty interesting, does anyone have it?

If you want a good Vietnam board game, try out Vietnam 1965-1975.

It is a hex based game, using counters for playing pieces. The game is from the 80’s and you’ll find it on Ebay.

For sure, no game depicts the vietnam war better - with hidden units, ho chi minh infiltration routes.

Beware though, that the Grand Campaign 65-75 takes hundreds and hundreds of hours to play. However, there exist about a dozen smaller scenarios (like the Tet offensive amongst others).
