Attack! by Eagle Games

Listened to audiobook on Thucydides’ History of Peloponnesian War. Has anyone played board game titled Hellenes: Campaigns of the Peloponnesian War? Would make a great multiplayer game. A&A has WWI, Napoleon, Punic 270 BC, variants, but not Peloponnesian Wars (Athens vs Sparta). Would be interested in working together with anyone willing to develop a Greek city state variant for this website.

@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.

Are there any gamers on this forum who play any sort of roleplaying games?
I’m big into 4th Edition D&D, but I’ve also been working on designing my own original game system that I would love to test out, if I can find some interested players.

Ireland wasn’t partitioned until 1921, so this isn’t strictly accurate for 1919.

My mind changed……

MW2

No one has heard of AGEod’s American Civil War computer game?

My son just purchased it for $10 with Christmas Money.  He thought it would be an action game but it is not.  It is very detailed though and I’m still trying to figure out how to play it.

@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:
