Conflicts of Nations, World War 3.

I don’t plan to buy the expansion (and I’m an expansion whore, so this is a big deal).

I like the new ships, but I really dislike the cinematic combat (and I really liked the interaction between dice and tactic cards in the original system).

I do like the new ships and green dice, but the leaders - while I don’t dislike them - only serve to dilute our chances of recruiting each of the classic characters which I like a lot more.

John I’m guessing you may have it already, but Battle Cry 150th Anniversary edition is readily available and improves upon the previous edition with almost twice the battle scenarios.

Anyways good luck with your search.

Tolerone77, I have two copies of that one and the original, and it is a great game, but I I wanted one that plays like Napoleon in Europe and this is as close as gets, till HBG produces their new Civil War game.

Thanks for mentioning it and thanks for wishing me luck. :-)

No problem John. If I find it I’ll send you a link if I find it anywhere.

Thanks buddy! :-)

Hopefully, those risk games end before the cards trade in for too many armies.

40+ armies for such a trade, added to regular production could build in a lottery mentality for your kids.

A&A has steadier reinforcement per turn and favors frontal defensive stacking .  This playing style would often lose in risk .

global conflict  anyone play this?

it’s more like risk than A&A  but you can only see units next to you as opposed to the whole board

Don’t forget to try out the epic WW1 Mod for HoI3! It’s soberly well done, I would know, we’ve been testing it in multiplayer games for a little over a year now  :-D

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).

Actually, if you are looking for something more new and cutting edge, you might want to try out this http://screenshots.teamxbox.com/gallery/1556/The-History-Channel-Civil-War/p1
