I love the look of the latest solitiare U Boat game...Steel Wolves...expnsive but a game I'd like to own. I'd alos like to have the solitiare D Day Omaha game...rave reviews that one.

I do own a monster game. Battle for Normandy GMT games. All I do is look at the lovely counters!!

I also have a DVG solitiare game Frontline D Day. Haven't played it yet. Looks good but I may end up selling it off.

Fields of Fire is a game I also like the look of. Though you need the second edition rulebook as the first edition was slated for being very poor.

I still didn't manage to play Luftschiff.

To recruit opponents for World in Flames either on Vassal or the boardgame.

Any interest in the interminably delayed, Matrix computerized edition?[&:]

That one's pulling in a pretty penny on Ferrengi-bay these days... makes me glad I never got around to it and left it in shrinkwrap.

You might want to filter through the player evaluations/reviews at BGG. In stark contrast to Silent War, I recall comments that the game is hopelessly unbalanced. Of course, that's just from memory. One way, or the other, check out the player reviews before you plonk down your $$$!

Actually, _I_ might want to edit text I've quoted better. I was referring to D-Day at Omaha. Which is now pulling in larger amounts of money on Ferrengi-bay than Steel Wolves' MSRP.

As to Steel Wolves (which I still want in spite of _any_ negative reviews, valid or not), there is always the lighter alternative of DVG's U-Boat Leader. (another I've had for a couple weeks, but haven't delved into yet).

Ill buy it when it comes out and I believe they will eventually finish it. In the meantime though there are equally as rewarding options.



wodin -> RE: Board games v Computer games (12/9/2011 5:48:30 PM)

I'm waiting on Conflict of heroes PC version...but still no news at all...nothing...very very odd indeed.



Titanwarrior89 -> RE: Board games v Computer games (12/10/2011 10:26:16 PM)

I am waiting on the remake of Hermans Pacific War.....looks like Multiman games may reprint(version two) it in the future.  Probley awhile out though.



ezzler -> RE: Board games v Computer games (12/11/2011 5:42:27 PM)

I have that d-day game, but haven't played it. I'd forgotten I'd bought it until i read your post.

I haven't played Steel Wolves, but did have the pacific version. the reviews are about right.
Why they put in a chit / cup system instead of a die roll i have no idea. The tedium of having to pull 20 chits from different cups and then just decide to abort or be forced to abort is too time-wasting to describe.
I played 2 years and was winning the war, but figured I'd never set it up again so on ebay it went.

Has some good mechanics but some poor ones too.
