Thread is open for anyone to share, all my games are in used but great condition, or otherwise mint/unpunched, will open and document any boxes anons request
And here are my magazine games :) same goes for these guys, will explore and document them as per anon requests
Is this... OC? My god, OP! Bless your fucking soul, I've missed this shit
Do these kinds of games get scanned often? It feels like they just don't get played anymore at all. From the little familiarity I have with old wargames it's like there's absolutely millions of them just rotting away.
This reminds me of an old ass board game that I would have loved to play as a kid, but everyone kept telling me it was "too hard" so I ended up never trying it. It had a pretty big board, and it had two opposing factions that fought for control of the sea from opposing coasts. Both factions had access to ships of various size, and aircraft carriers with little stylized plastic planes that you could actually put on top of the carriers, plus there were two deployable isles with bases, and a shitload of counters to do who knows what.Looking into it now it was basically a higher res version of this, the box was different and the map was more detailed, but the rest looks to be the same. Has anyone tried this?
>>92534177Is this limited to games msde during thr cold war, or about the cold war?Cuz Twilight Struggle is my jam.
>>92534342BGG has scans of most games from the period, and beyond that I know a good portion are modded into TTS
>>92536891I've heard if it but never played! Saw it was like an alternate history deckbuilder? how would you describe it, anon?
>>92534907 no but tactics II is similar in the nondescript red v blue country fighting for control, what was the name of the game anon?
>>92534204Thanks :)) want to see inside any of them?
>>92537283I think that's the same game just in a different box with updated graphics.
>>92537270other anon, Card Driven Game encapsulates how it worksdefinitely not deck building, rather hand managementbasically you strategize how and when to burn undesirable cards so they hurt you minimally, while trying to maximalize effect of positive ones (as you draw both sides cards plus some neutral); with TW you get to play one card as event on the beginning of turn, dunno if other CDG has this mechanics, also you can discard one, later two cards paying for space race; usually you can left one card on hand; meanwhile you increase influence on boardgame is great, but quite long, and definitely promotes knoledge of cards and history, so for more experienced players you do need handicap
GDW's third world war series is great. Excellent rules and a very good balance between detail and playibility.
>>92542160Well, the game you just showed me is an air/sea centric game that dropped with those who followed Mickey Mouse Magazine, and Tactics II was made by avalon Hill with a Land combat focus unless super Battaglia had avalon hill tie-ins
>>92550476 since my tax return hit, I bought AIR STRIKE and have plans to get the two GDW Air Power 1e expansions, then I'll likely buy Speed of Heat, I have the rules all online for the 2021 Air Power revision, I just love their turning and accel/decel mechanics and need more chits
>>92547643Is there a TTS port? It seems cool and I'd like to try :)
>>92552916Ya its also got a steam version where you can play against bots
>>92552942Sick! Thanks anon :)
>>92534177Which ones have you got played, rather than unpunched?
>>92534187>>92534177I have no idea about any of these I'm just picking at random. I want to see inside your gun safe! kidding I just saw the chance. Show us Top Lel, since it got a return to the media recently
>>92534177>>92557017Seconding Top Gun
