I haven’t played this in a while. Maybe my group missed something. It always seemed to me thought that France could easily hold its coast while running over Austria and even Prussia if necessary and then slowly over power Russia since they are making so much money at that point. I always found that Britain’s only chance was to try to run through Spain and hopefully do it faster than France gets through Prussia and Austria, then kill France from both sides. However, it has been a while and my opponents tended to also make major mistakes so that could have lead to me finding this game very one sided.

@toblerone77:

Never played this one. Though I do own it because I got it for FREE, and had cool parts.

Same for me (except for the part about getting it for free).  I particularly like the standard infantryman, with the raised rifle and pith helmet, whose design fits nicely for possible use as a WWII British or French colonial infantry unit.  The size is just right, the detailing is pretty good and there’s a wide range of colours available. The single drawback is the rectangular base, since it contrasts so much with the round bases of the OOB and HBG units.

There are reasons you pay same price -

Convenience
Redundancy
Operability (compatibility and patches/fixes/etc. always good)
Associated costs with hosting your game

Just to name a few.

The 1917 game was fun!

I like the fact that you can upgrade units and the strategy you employ is different to win each battle.

I have this game too. It has little value. Even the pieces are too ugly and huge and are made with the wrong plastic.

Eagle was the old Helen of toy game company circa 1960’s.

All their games belong to the inside advertisements of comic books and deserve no other realm.

I knew they would be out of business before long.

Indeed, F_alk. You should see the rule book of ASL, it’s massive. I bought it a few months ago and I’m still trying to understand most of the concepts presented.

I love the date on this posting.
