Cheaper Memoir 44 style games?
-
I’m only 15 and I don’t have much money. Point being I can’t spend a whole lot so I’m wondering if any of y’all know about any good Memoir 44 style games but cheaper. I don’t really care about the time period so much (Doesn’t have to be WWII)
Thanks y’all.

Battle Cry has a similar system:

The system is called “Command and Colors.” https://boardgamegeek.com/wiki/page/Command_and_Colors_System
None of the games are particularly cheap although not particularly expensive for games with lots of pieces either. They all come in around the MSRP of Memoir. Your best bet is to try and find the first version of Battlecry on eBay.
I just did a quick search and there is a used Memoir set up for $45 with free shipping and the used Battlecry were all in that same range with shipping. You should expect this sort of thing to run you in the $35 to $70 range.
This time of the year you should be able to scrounge that up in less than a week of mowing lawns.

Alright, thanks for the responses! I will have to look into those.
As to the mowing lawns, I’ve been doing that. Maybe another week or so.Thanks y’all!

How about a very cool Axis and Allies style game for the Napoleonic Wars?

The game you want is called Sirocco. Its made by TSR hobbies in 1986 and is better than M44. All those game ripped off from this game.

Oh just realized there were more posts here. Thanks for all the responses y’all!
I just got Battlecry, Squad Leader (which is Awesome!!), A&A 1941, the Rise and Decline of the Third Riech, and several others for my birthday.BTW would anyone want to do a game of squad leader on the forum?
-
I have seen 3-4 copies of the old AxA games (Europe, Pacific 1999,2000) on Craigslist, you could play these, they have a different ruleset but tons of pieces and great maps most people only want $25 for…

Hey, that’s a good idea. I will look into that.
