Nah, give me Europe Engulfed, and I'll be happy.

Yowsa

How about a nice game of chess?

Isn't Grigsby doing a PC version of this also?

Or am I getting my games mixed up? Sorry, not much of a board wargamer, but I do so love a grand strategic PC game.

he is creating a different game, same subject.

I would give anything for a current times /modern day war game.

Chemical Soldier, what type of game, boardgame or computer game? Also, what scale?

TOAW: A Century of Warfare has several excellent scenarios for modern day battles.

Good times to be a wargame geek.

I believe Grigsby's game is intended to be a bit more accessible for the masses than A World at War. A step up from Axis & Allies, but not quite grognard level. I think it got bumped to sometime in 2005, by the way.

Tell them to play Tic-Tac-Toe.

what's a grognard?

A hard-core wargamer. The term originates with the old veterans of Napolean's army.

Not to be confused with gonad.

Unless they have bayonets, in which case the distinction is blurred. Or you are Fritz.

A believe that grognard means grumbler in French. Napoleon's Old Guard was known as the Grognards because they were always grumbling.

Interesting. I'm a hard-core warmonger, not a wargamer.

That makes you a Republican. You can still play with us, but no talking politics, and we'll explain the rules slowly.

:D
