I know better to post after an afternoon glass of wine (watching the rain here in Orange Calif) but, I started board war-gaming in grade school in the mid 1960's with the Milton Bradley American Heritage Series (Civil War, Dogfight, Broadside, Hit The Beach), then I saw a couple guys playing AH's "Battle Of The Bulge" (about 1965) and realized that actual complex (for my 5th grade age) were out there. So I soon got AH's "Jutland" (still have it), followed by "Panzer Blitz", "Panzer Leader", "Tobruk", "Arab Israeli Wars", "Squad Leader", eventually the entire SL series & ASL, and by 1972 I discovered SPI with "Phalanx" followed by (in no particular order) "Red Star White Star", "War in Europe", "War In The Pacific" (both monster games), and a host of others by several companies (including my first love AH) - "AH - Anzio", "AH - D-Day", "AH - King Maker", "AH - Midway", "AH - Guadalcanal", ...many more titles than I can remember.
