Gawd, I had Dogfight, too. I'd forgotten it as I really can't consider any Milton Bradley product a real wargame! I recall nothing about the gameplay...


One thing I thought was neat was the plastic planes were on plastic stands so they appeard to be above the map board instead of sitting on it. Just added flavor I thought.

That is about all I remember about it though.

LOL I ran into the same problem. I can't remember what my first game was, but was definitely Avalon Hill whatever it was, I had many. I would recruit someone to play me, and destroy them, ergo no more opponent... I am not saying I was that good, but I was interested in tactics, and they weren't, with the predictable outcomes. It wasn't until I was in the Navy that I found worthy opponents.

My first computer game that I owned was the original Koei Romance of the Three Kingdoms playing it on a friends 386. It was a good arrangement, I could not afford a PC and hid wife did not want him to spend more money on the PC. We got our moneys worth, by spending many hours playing.

A few years later discovered SPI, and got really hooked. Now I'm a WITP addict.

I ran across an old copy of Tactics II after I was into the Squad Leader series. At first glance it was quaint, I thought. A buddy of mine and I started playing it, and soon forgot about Squad Leader. Tactics II was FUN!

I wish I still had the thing...

"Hi, my name is Buzzz. I am 36 years old. And i am a wargaming addict...."



The names not REALLY Buzzz (duh!), but i am 36. Been playing for about 20 years. Thought i was the only wargamer on the planet (or at least the only one in the Southern Hemisphere) for most of that time.

First games?? a very average thing called Falklands '82. Anyone else ever see it?

All time favourites? Most of the old SSG collection on C64. And of course WitP!!

I still have this game on my PC and play it sometimes its kind of easy but gives a lot of fun... the only bad thing about it is that i do not know how to relad ordnance during the fight... or is it impossible


Not impossible, just don't remember how to do it anymore. . I did love SeaLance missile/torpedo combo too ! I think the game (Red Storm Rising) is on Underdogs site if someone likes to try..

I doubt it. Anyway, if you really think red got robbed you can easily mod the unit stats.
