I have a copy of the first edition board game, but some of the rules don't work together well

Dude the worst board game I ever played was World War 2. This game had THE MOST MICROMANAGEMENT of any game I have ever seen in my life.

I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say that this would make a good game for generals in training.

You had to roll the dice like 10 times just to move a piece. Once for the weather, once for troop morale, once for supply lines, it went on and on and on and on....

that does sound pretty bad

I really like ASL (Advanced Squad Leader) and Third Reich looks really cool but I have never been succesful playing it (I also like but don't have DDay, Midway, Battle of the Bulge, Africa Korps, and the like)

One important factor to consider when assessing the merits of the Mediterranian strat versus the Russia attack is the proportion of German forces that need to be employed. The mediterranian strat can be achieved with a fraction of the forces, no more than 20% or as little as 10%, leaving the bulk of German forces to deter possible Soviet aggression.

I agree, it would have been the only hope.

Ah, Striker, too bad the thread where I drove Paki into the turf was deleted. He deserved it so, for all to see.

I'm playing a game called strategic command at the moment, which is pretty good.

It was thoroughly enjoyful to translate

Unfortunately the thread got deleted and with it all the excellent quotes. I haven't lost my knowledge of english though so I can alway retranslate

And thanks Lonewolf you made my day

And why was it deleted? Becuase I stated your view, which you do not deny ?t
