I like both modes of travel but I’m a soldier. My son joined the Navy instead. I play both but I play the army game more!

Sure. The best online retailer for this sort of thing is Historical Board Gaming. go there and you will find every piece to almost every AA board game, even some Anniversary pieces. Of course, Ebay is a good way to acquire pieces as well.

To reiterate, Tide Of Iron is a board game, in that its not collectable. Everyone gets the same stuff in their box, just like other board games. They have an expansion that adds some more units and scenarios I think, according to the website.

I’m considering putting ToI on my Christmas list, if I here enough positive reviews of it.

Again, just make sure VASSAL is configuration-based enough. if you have to code to make changes then I’d look at one of the more polished products.

Battlegrounds has stated on their website that they are working on a wargamer-specific tabletop version of their software. Id be curious to know how that is comiong along…

That being said VASSAL has been around for a while and lots of games have been ported to it so I know its pretty solid.

I’ve used reinforcements before, but mine were much more simple. My opponent and I would build our starting army, at say, 250 points. Then on let’s say, turn 3 or 4, we would deploy our reinforcements, valued at about 150 points.

I’ve found that past 300 points the games all run around the same amount of time. I think it might have something to do with the fact that the game starts wrapping up at turn 7 regardless… otherwise, I dunno. But the 350 and 450 point games all ran the same amount of time as the 3 hour game: 3 1/2 hours. Which was way too long. Hehhehe. Usually the standard 200 point games we play last around 2 hours, or a little bit more if there’s a rules hitch or joking around instead of playing.

Anyone run into game stores that open and re-glue boxes?

All the boxes from booster1 were like this. Really easy to open and reglue. Thats why the changed it int booster2.

As long as you cards are still sealed in the platic bag you are OK. But it was really easy for “bad” people to open a box to see what was inside. If they didn’t like… just heat the glue a litte and reclose the box

I guess wizards took the decision purely on low cost… cheap bastards !!
