I wish I had read about this earlier. Did you go?

I live in Northern Virginia and I would have been close enough to check it out.

"Escape from Auschwitz" where you choose to be one of masses of Jews trying to escape or the Nazis trying to keep them in.

I remember that, or at least something similar.

One player plays the Nazis and the rest play various "factions" of Jews. The Jews run around various places on the board to collect items. A piece can attempt to flee when a set of essential items has been collected. The Nazi guy move about to try to catch the Jews.

There are also various cards players can collect, and there's this Do or Die thing.

Nice list of games - http://home.netvigator.com/~chailok/algamelist.htm

I have those games, even the exact version

Afrika Korps

[Barinthus]

The game I talked about earlier - Freedom in the Galaxy - I really enjoyed this game and it's shame not too many people know about it.

[Barinthus]

One of my old favorites - Napoleon

[Barinthus]

D-Day - not too bad

[Barinthus]

I loved this game and it could be played with Red October to create WW 3

One of my favorites - I just love using nukes in this game

[Barinthus]

I just love the cover, I used to look at it and daydream. Third Reich

Very cool Barinthus. I have a number of those games...

I especially like the description on the Afrika Korps box. "...finally broke his sword."

[Barinthus]

Heh oh yeah I loved that too .

Air Assault on Crete - one of my other favorites. It had a second game enclosed - you get to play a planned German invasion of Malta that never happened.

Easy game, but still fun!

Caesar at Alesia - I just loved this cover too. It was a pretty neat game too. As Romans, you get to decide where you can place your forts trying to containing the city and at same time prevent reinforcing Gauls to open up a hole in your lines so their leader stuck in Alesia could flee. You could follow the orginial sites Caesar built them or not.

Those forts were so strong defensive that casualties that can result from an attack upon one can be so insane considering fort's own defensive artillery and lethal earthworks along with your own archers and slingers.

As the Gaul player you get to see how the Roman player plan his troops and forts and you can decide wherever on the board you want to strike from keeping the Roman player guessing.

We had a gaming club where I grew up - really cool. I have been playing AH and SPI games since the early 70`s. At one time I had over 300 of these games.

We played The Campaign for North Africa with 10 gamers

We played War in Europe with 15 players
