Risk is for kiddies.

Give me, Dust, Combat Commander, Twilight Struggle, Hammer of the Scots, Advanced Squad Leader, Conflict of Heroes, Diplomacy, Command & Colors Ancients, Here I Stand, We the People, Sword of Rome, Lock 'N Load, Tobruk, Breakout: Normandy, Valor & Victory, Battle for Germany, Storm over Stalingrad, Bitter Woods, The Napoleonic Wars, Nuklear Winter 78, Totaler Krieg!, and Imperial.


Diplomacy is the most tense game I have ever played. It's fairly simple but it's full of lies, deceit, backstabbing, spying, bluffing, double-bluffing, & stunt-pulling. If you want to test your friendship play this one. It makes grown men whine & cry.

Ah... Diplomacy. Fun times! It's even more fun to play with people who think they are much better at the social game than they really are. One guy in particular stands out in my memory. He'd propose deals with me that were pathetically obvious traps (like making offers to help me in ways that didn't help him at all). All I had to do each round was figure out what moves he could make to benefit him if I actually did what he wanted, and then plan my own moves accordingly. He may as well have just handed me his orders...

The most amusing thing is that he never ever caught on. Each turn it would be like: "Why didn't you do what we agreed to? You backstabbed me!". I'd point out that he didn't do what he promised either, and then to my surprise he'd propose yet another "great deal". Lol!

Axis & Allies was awesome but largely for the hundred twenty-five million pieces it came with.

Yup. It was actually a pretty darn good game too!

I did run into a guy in that game (not the same guy), who didn't quite understand the math of infantry vs armor. He kept overextending his attacks and then losing armor to my counters. Ironically, while it's counterproductive to attack infantry with just armor units, it *is* productive to defend against infantry attacks with just armor if you have to. Something he apparently never figured out.

Russia isn't normally supposed to actually be able to invade Germany all by itself with a straight ground force war, is it? ;)

Every time I go to clean up the living room, I find more game chips that have hidden themselves for years in forgotten corners and between floorboards. With the fact that Jonwin owns nearly every AH game ever made and many other war games, I just add them to the tin and tell him it's his job to figure out what game they go to.

His Anzio box, leaks each time he takes it out for World Boardgaming Championships. As the former GM for Football Strategy, he has several copies lying about.

I have a few games base on LOTR and the Battle of 5 Armies, that I got years ago, and only have 2 games I need to separate, from when they got knock down from the pile of unpack boxes in my studio. SDI packaging was nice, as long as the lids lasted. Neither of play ay of these games, but for WBC, where he got me into playing Kingmaker.

No. Not under any circumstances.
