I've never managed to play more than a few turns of an AGEOD game (and I own all but the ACW one!) Hopefully AJE will get me to invest in them all.

Also, I've only played a mere fraction of the games in my Steam and GG accounts.

Dude, what's wrong with you?  It's not healthy... :o



... to confine yourself to just that thread!  :D

The Cleavage, Hmmm, Cosplay, Pokies, Reds, Arm Bra, and Sexy Demotivational threads not good enough?  ;)

It's been so long - if I did play it I don't think I liked it too well. Or maybe I liked it but just didn't care that much. I'm sure I must have played it, but that memory has long faded if I did. Once I played Steel Panthers nothing else shined so bright.

"Light" wargames really aren't. I do think you can have too heavy a wargame, but almost all light wargames lose my attention span. There are some that are great - Shrapnel's War Plan Pacific comes to mind. But in general light equates to a realism fail in my book.

Me neither.  On the other hand (maybe this is confessional?) I thought Vatutin organized those counterstrokes
in front of Leningrad.  Did Vance Von Borres sort of forget that accidently when he designed the Roads to Leningrad
boardgame?

More confessional:  I'm starting a blog soon with a lot of boardgame stuff in it.  I hope.  If I don't bore myself too much.

Some of my entry point wargames. like Panzer General and Civ II, were played only on the original PlayStation. I'm sorry.

By the way...I think the title of this thread should be changed to "Confessions of a Groghead"

I have yet to find a "counter pushing" wargamer that could hold my attention for more than an hour or so....regardless of the war.

As much as I hate to say it, I wonder if we need to create an entry on Urban Dictionary to explain what a groghead is?

In spite of many years of wargaming on the computer I remain strategically and tactically stupid, so I often play games on easy settings just so I can survive and even, occasionally, win.

You mean game or player?
