MrsWargamer -> RE: What Board or Computer Game you been playing? (4/23/2021 2:27:07 PM)

To answer the OP.
I've been fussing with Squad Leader, Panzer leader, Afrika Korps, Russian Campaign, Fortress Europa, A3R, Russian Front and Tobruk recently.
As well as fussing with Tigers on the Hunt, LnL Tactical Digital, Squad Battles, Command Ops 2 as well as a few other fringe interests.
So not much much :)
The big plan is to find enough energy to make a dedicated platform able to accommodate The Longest Day board game. As well as check into making Squad Leader into a 72nd scale experience.
I've been finding it easier lately to get into board game wargaming for some reason. Maybe it's covid crushing my interest in going outside. I'm not afraid, there's just so little point in going out when nothing is open eh. I'm starting to become a semi hermit. Other than riding mmy bike, I'm mostly inside. That, and it's easier to find good board wargaming groups on FB than it is good computer wargaming groups on FB. No idea why that is.
I own all the decent computer wargames of the last 30 years. I might not have every iteration, but eventually you realize, there is only so many ways to simulate something.
100 bucks for War in the East2 and it is not sufficiently different from War in the East 1, which is not much different than Russo German War, which isn't too different than Warplan, which can be gamed with TOAW4, or Decisive Campaigns, or Panzer Campaigns or Unity of Command, or Panzer Corps, ..... I hope the point was made.
And in the end, it's more fun to play Russian Campaign in most cases. And the graphical differences are not enough. Being on a computer is indeed convenient, but it sometimes lacks a specific quality. War in the East for all it's detail, doesn't auto win against a good board game.
And I recently found a genuine human opponent in town. Honest to god FTF old school wargamer. I just need to be patient and wait out covid's impact on social spaces.
