What other board games do you play?

How many of ya’ll play ‘Fortress America?’ I play this game which was released with Axis and Allies in the game master series and is quite popular. It was printed extensively in the 1980’s and reprinted in 2012. If any of you want to see the added section under other games upvote and/or comment, thanks.

I would have bought that if I had known about it.

Does anyone remember Hidden & Dangerous? It was a tactical squad-based FPS that was based on SAS missions in WWII.

It was so difficult, it was basically the “Dark Souls” of WWII shooters. One wrong move would trigger the alarm for an entire base and you would die in a hail of bulletfire. None of this “one man army” Call of Duty stuff, you had to think about every move, every kill to complete the mission.

I have fond memories of sitting around a CRT monitor with a couple of my friends, blanket draped over our heads so we could see better in the night missions, knuckles white with tension. Come to think of it, our moms were probably wondering what the hell we were looking at…  :lol:

Here is the BGG link. Some action shots

@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.

I’m definitely a sucker for Strategy or WW2-themed stuff

1. World of Tanks
2. Axis and Allies
3. Star Wars Commander
4. War Thunder
5. Settlers of Catan

Don’t even bother trying to get pieces from Hasbro. They don’t care about us A&A players to offer part sets to us & when you ask they just give you the royal run-around. Sorry if I sound too bitter…

I’ll hop on X-fire chat and bother you.

Anyways, perhaps we could play first as a team against the computers, so you can help me a little bit in improving my play.
