Before I got a C64 I bought a computerized version of AH's Squad Leader on cassette tape but for the life of me I cannot remember the name of the computer or who made it. AH was king back then with their board games, didn't they put out a magazine as well? I seem to recall getting one from AH or from some company about strategy and tactics.


AH did put out a magazine - came with little games and once Squad Leader appeared they had several issues dedicated to that. Can't remember the name of it now, but I have my old copies somewhere at home. I was poorer back then - didn't subscribe for long.

EDIT: Just came to me - AH's mag was called "The General".

Strategy & Tactics is a magazine (comes with a wargame) put out by Decision Games - you can still get it. Seven issues a year, expensive if you get the game, but I love it - well worth the bucks.

Best,

Debated whether to 'fess up or not - here it goes.

I'm forty-three - started playing wargames in the early/mid 1970's.  I can't remember which came first - Tactics II, Blitzkrieg, Panzer Leader or Panzerblitz.  A friend had a copy of Sniper by SPI that we loved.  Also spent a fair bit of time with Third Reich, D-Day, and a few others.  Loved Squadleader - bought all the add-ons, but ran out of people to play with by the time ASL was out.  Still buy boardgames now and then, but only play solitaire now.

That is close. Your work most be somewhere near Marlborough?

If you'd ever be interested in some old-fashioned, head-to-head, boardgaming let me know. I think all I have left is ASL & Flat-Top, but those were both classics.

Love to. would require some serious bartering with Wife 1.0...

Dumbass.

When Nik says he is 29 he is at least 40.

It's like anything Nik says "I kicked Speedy's arse" = Nik got spanked big time.

He's a born liar through and through



Pauk you look at least 60
