stevemk1a -> RE: ASL and SPWAW? (3/26/2004 6:06:14 AM)

Just speaking for myself, I would say that it does ...
I used to be an avid ASL player, but lack of opponents, space, and time made it hard to play. A number of years ago I bought a computer, and found computer wargames as a very convenient way to indulge in wargaming. I love Spwaw (and some other computer wargames) and I feel it has great depth and scope, but it's a different experience ... I actually play exponentially more human vs. human games on the 'puter than was ever possible with cardboard and puched counters.
I also feel that computer wargames offer as great a depth as boardgames, but with boardgames you get a intimate understanding of the mechanics (because you have to calculate them [:'(], which, I suppose gives them a different kind of depth, as Computer wargames can perform a lot more mathematical number crunching than a guy with dice, a pencil, and some charts.
There's still a lot to be said for having a few beers and playing a boardgame face to face tho ... [:)] [&o] If you've never tried it, you're missing out on something.
Listen closely .... I think I hear Les the Sarge tromping this way!! [:D]
