Where can I get a copy of Battle of France 1940? Sold by Field Marshal games.

@vicombat
I would have to say that the visuals could be a bit more concentrated on the game itself.

If it is a real board game you’re looking for, then Eclipse and her extension : you can play up to 9 players, and it’s really fun. With 9 peoples, it could take up to 5-6 hours to complete the game though.

If you want to see some period nose art reproductions look here

Some more details (interviews) from the devs: http://thegamershub.co.uk/2010/03/hubcast-05/ and http://www.massively.com/2010/03/22/interview-with-world-of-tanks-mike-zhivets/

@Motdc:

Might be a stretch for what you were looking but there is a game called Twilight Imperium that is suprising A&A-like:

The theme is space, picture Star Wars, the galactic senate and all.

It uses the A&A battle mechanic, except with a d10 instead of a d6.

Intsead of ferrying troops around on ocean-going transports, you ferry them around on space-going transports.  In fact, the game uses a lot of the A&A naval mechanics, from fighters on carriers, transporting troops, bombardment, etc.

You have planetary defense systems that act like AA Guns and can upgraded to act like A&A-style rockets.

You have a couple of tech tracks you can advance on by spending on R&D like in most A&A games.

The game add a deplomacy phase and action cards.

I have the original 1st and 2nd editions of the game.  They reworked it in the 3rd edition, but I haven’t tried that one yet.

Its from Fantasy Flight Games, IIRC.

3rd Edition is a great game for six players.  The random maps placed by the players in setup is also a big plus.    :wink:

Hey Djensen, checked back in and noticed this… I use BGG to decide what games I should purchase on my limited gaming budget. The thing that makes the site is the people who contribute loads of feedback on games and what you will enjoy based on your preferences, but like Yanny said, it is one clunky place to navigate. I particularly don’t like the geeklist navigation where it always jumps you back to page top…

That’s my 2 cents…

I’ve always found the history of the War card game quite interesting, especially when you compare it to Solitaire. War is one of those classic card games that is so simple yet engaging, much like Solitaire. Both games have been around for ages and have a sort of timeless appeal. War is thought to date back to at least the 19th century, and it is often one of the first card games kids learn because of its simplicity. Solitaire, on the other hand, has a rich history that goes back even further, with origins in Europe in the late 18th century. What I find fascinating about War is that it relies heavily on luck, while solitaire requires a bit more strategy and patience. This makes each game unique in its way. War is straightforward and fast-paced, which is great for quick, casual play. Solitaire can be more relaxing and requires a bit more thought, which can be very satisfying when you finally win. Both games have their charm and offer different kinds of enjoyment. War might not have the depth of solitaire, but it has its own appeal in its simplicity and the way it can quickly decide a winner. I think both games have survived for so long because they are easy to learn and play, making them accessible to everyone, regardless of age or skill level.

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.
