I think I still have all my AH games except my very first, Blitzkrieg.  Anyone for a game of Richtoffen's War, 1776, Submarine, Here Come the Rebels, Advanced Third Reich, Tobruk, Midway, Panzer Blitz, or any of about fifteen others?

1959 here.

This thread brings back a lot of memories. This is the CRT from my first wargame. My parents gave me this for Christmas when I was 13, and I never looked back:







Panzer Blitz. Drank many a beers over this game.

So yes (barely) and 1975

I remember when my mother went into the SPI store in NYC to buy it for me and they warned her it was really for adults. Perhaps they were right.

Then it went on to Victory in the Pacific, War At Sea, Tobruk, all the Squad Leader games, Luftwaffe, Third Reich, D-Day, Submarine...the list goes on. I still have most of those games and wish I had the free time to play them all over again.

CRT? What about the dang LOS?

Oh man, that was a good game. Never could get anybody to play for more than a few turns on that one. No one I knew was interested in that era.

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

Someone claimed to have played CNA somewhere, once, or at least some turns of it, didn't they? What CNA needed was computerisation of the detail tracking - and then it would be like playing........ WitP!


A friend and I started that darn game. We played 1 turn and 2 op stages (2/3 of a turn) before I moved out of town for college. I still like it. Gonna play it someday if I can find someone crazy enough to play.


Hmmmm. I'd be tempted. I'm a few miles away in Pickerington. I have CNA, unpunched and never played

Started with Tactics II at 9 years old then moved on to AH and SPI games. I played Squad Leader, Panzer Blitz/Leader, and Task Force Games Start Fleet Battles the longest.

Currently addicted to WiTP. I am married so not talking to girls is a good thing for me

Not wanting to gross y'all out, but think about this for a second.

He (the home-coming queen) was probably in his own little heaven. It's more likely his "boyfriends" who spent the rest of their lives wondering about their manhood...

Did not play too many board games. Really got into it big time when computer games came along. Remember Empire?

I was born in 1945. At the time, World War II was still going on and God was a Midshipman.
