>>93444462>What era of wargames do you prefer? Ancients? Gundpowder? 20th Century?Opposite ends for me. I love ancients and I love WWI-Present Day. Everything in between just bores me to tears unfortunately.
>>93444462>What era of wargames do you prefer? Ancients? Gundpowder? 20th Century?I do not have a preference but going off the games I own, most are ww2 to modern day
>>93446882What games do you own anon?
I know there are a ton of WW2 games, but I was wondering if there were any good ones for WWI
>>93444462>What era of wargames do you prefer? Ancients? Gundpowder? 20th Century?Most of the games I own are WWII / Modern Era with a few Sci-fi or Fantasy and a couple older periods like Napoleon at Waterloo or Sekigahara.>>93449242>I was wondering if there were any good ones for WWITake a look at the Pastebin. There are several recommendations in there.
>>93445692>>93446882>>93449425I’m actually surprised. I would have thought there’d be a lot of Napoleonics, or at least ACW. I guess WW2 and beyond just has more ‘stuff’ to it so it makes for a more varied experience.
