The game review video on Twilight Imperium Fourth Edition.

@SS:

Just remembered I was gonna use the Battleship game subs but didn’t have enough so that’s how I thought of the 84 game.

Nothing wrong with using A&A subs, but if you had your heart set on Battleship subs (that doesn’t sound right), I’m sure you could just order spare parts from E-Bay on the cheap… I can’t imagine there not being thousands of Battleship pieces out there on E-Bay.

Heck, I ordered FOUR different sets of LotR Monopoly pieces off E-Bay to get enough fortresses for my LotR Risk game… so I can only imagine how common Battleship pieces must be.

I own Tide of Iron, looks great but I haven’t played it yet.

@bbrett3:

Some people said it was just like Fallout, but with more customization, is that true?

I don’t really know.  I think Fallout 3 is more in depth, but I never played it, just assuming so from Bethesda.  Borderlands focuses on action, multiplayer, quests, and getting more and more loot. It’s really simple and the character customization is basic - 3 trees with 7 skills each (1 master) that is unlocked as you put more points in the tree.  The weapons are never the same except for the unique ones bosses always carry.  It looks nice and is well done, but plays really well.  You can kill quite a few hours on it the first time through, but once you know what to do I think you can run through it and even skip side quests.

If you like turn based strategy games, then you’ll love this game.

The board game version is now available on ebay! current bid is only $2.

If you want a good Vietnam board game, try out Vietnam 1965-1975.

It is a hex based game, using counters for playing pieces. The game is from the 80’s and you’ll find it on Ebay.

For sure, no game depicts the vietnam war better - with hidden units, ho chi minh infiltration routes.

Beware though, that the Grand Campaign 65-75 takes hundreds and hundreds of hours to play. However, there exist about a dozen smaller scenarios (like the Tet offensive amongst others).

I must admit, i prefer Go, even though i am not good at it at all. I once got beaten on a 9x9 field with four stones given to me in front. Even though it was close, it was a lesson.
