3 games played as a 8-15 y. o.(other than RISK)…

1-axis and allies
2-axis and allies pacific
3-stratigo

Loved Stratego, Chinese Checkers, Monopoly (still play that with my oldest).

did you disqulify Risk- Love that one!

Stratego was awesome, before they bastardized it with the 4 player edition

I’m an old Chess player myself.

chess is good, only if you have a good opponent. i played a friend once ,and (i swear to god) i pulled the same 4 move checkmate on him twice in a row

Has anybody ever played
1. Panzer Leader
2. Luftwaffe
?

2 great games from the 70’s. Panzers is all about tactical warfare on the western front, Luftwaffe is about the allies bombing Germany.
Both excellent, not quite as good as A&A or A&AE but still good.

Hex games rule …
as long as the rulebook is more than 12495 pages :)

I was gonna say that LJ :cry:

You are not old enough. :P
That’s an early '70’s comment.

You’re right. :wink: Today’s generation has barely enough of an attention span to learn how to play A&A. My friend got a hex-based game about carrier warfare in the pacific-we attempted to learn how to play, but when the rulebook proved to be written by a team of attorneys, flipped a coin to determine the winner. I won twice, followed by a couple of wins from him. :P

1.Stratego
2.Monopoly
3.Axis and Allies

Damn Straight!

Does FRP’s like Dungeons & Dragons count?
Or at least the wargame Rules AKA CHAINMAIL?
ok Hex games:

Third REich anyone?

Yes… everybdoy loves Third Reich :D

But I had my fill of hex based games ever since the dread Campaign for North Africa

Classic Battletech is pretty good, esp. if you can get a bunch of people, and have large scale battles.
