This may tell us something about the current state of our hobby. Please participate; let's have some fun! Do you know what a CRT is? Just yes or no please, plus the year you were born. And I don't mean a cathode ray tube[;)] Yes. 1956.[;)]

yes 1962 "Who else can recreate the entire CRT from memory for the original version of D-Day (AH)? " But can you also recreate the 1-1 column from Napoleon at Waterloo and all its progeny?

spence -> RE: Grognard or n00B ? (11/1/2007 5:22:23 AM)
A die roll of six at 2-1 against the Prussians on top of the hill (doubled defense) at Quatre Bras. [:@] Oh lordly!!!

quote: But can you also recreate the 1-1 column from Napoleon at Waterloo and all its progeny? No, having already advanced in years,by the time that one came out, to the point where the CRT was usually covered with the "wetrings" of my empties I must admit to a certain level of forgetfulness.

quote: Prussians ....at Quatre Bras ??????? One must harken back to the dim dark days before Napoleon at Waterloo to AH's Waterloo. A big hill (doubled defense factors) with woods on either flank right smack in the middle of the board. Ligny was just a named spot on the map with absolutely nothing to recommend it as a place to fight a battle.

The true test of a grognard: who has played The Longest Day campaign solitaire from start to finish? [:D]

ny59giants -> RE: Grognard or n00B ? (11/1/2007 5:39:43 AM)
30 years after it came out, I still have 'Wacht am Rhein' - my favorite board game. Clear 1-1 Broken 2-1 Woods, Village, Night Combat 3-1 Die Roll 1 D2 2 D1 3 A1 4 A1(1) 5 A2(1) 6 A2(2) Worse was practicing with different dice to see which one's came up with 1's or 6's more often before a crucial role. [:D][:D] Had to find the "hot" die.

eloso -> RE: Grognard or n00B ? (11/1/2007 5:46:03 AM)
Yes. 1966 I graduated from the CRT to the IFT.

tsimmonds -> RE: Grognard or n00B ? (11/1/2007 5:46:06 AM)
The Wacht am Rhein game system was brilliant; Atlantic Wall was even better, with the ability to break regiments down into companies. But that situation was hopeless for the Germans. Ideal would have been using this same system for operation Typhoon, or the operations in Ukraine in winter 42-43 or in North Africa....

Nomad -> RE: Grognard or n00B ? (11/1/2007 5:46:29 AM)
I have never played WiE solo, but I had some friends and we played it from 1939 to 1945 somewhere around 200 times. [:)]
