I've looked at some of the online scenarios, and they seem pretty cool. When we're done with the Eastern Front stuff we'll probably play through all the online ones we can. I'm pretty excited about the campaign book, I'm hoping it'll be really cool. Really, I don't mind the expansions. I'm sure...

I'm going to recommend Valor and Victory, which is a quick, fun little wargame you can download for free online. I just played it for the first time last night, but it seemed pretty darn cool. Also it's free.

We played through all of the scenarios that came with the base game, and it was a blast. We tallied up the medals at the end, and I, as the Allies, lost by two. We're taking a break for a couple days, since we played it a ton over the past week. Soon we'll start on the Eastern Front, which I'm...

I'm pretty much in love with Memoir '44, and I'm roommate recently ordered Commands and Colors: Ancients, so I couldn't be happier. I'm trying to find a good deal on Paths of Glory, but it's somewhat difficult. We may go with Twilight Struggle, which, while not a wargame, sounds like it plays...

I read Pursuit of Glory and World War II: Barbarossa to Berlin use the same rules and are pretty good. Is one better than the other?

Also, a quick question, does anyone have Colosseum? Is it any good? I'm looking to expand my board game collection, and it kind of caught my eye. I'm thinking it or El Grade, since the same guy seems to have been involved in both?

I was wondering, how is the soundtrack for the game? I've played Last Night on Earth, and I found the music to be pretty awful. Is this one any better? Also, is movement based on dice rolls? That always frustrated me about Last Night on Earth, but I suppose there it makes some sense.

Excellent. Thanks so much for the recommendations. I think I have quite a few things to save up my money for now (in addition to Gen Con). I'll definitely try to get all the M44 expansions, and I may get either ASL or one of the Combat Commander games, I'm not sure yet. I may find one WWII game...

For me, the best table is something small and simple that we can all sit around, can safely spill drinks on, and that doesn't take up more room than it has to. My philosophy is always that simpler is better.

Well, I've decided Memoir is one of my favorite games so far, and I ordered the Eastern Front expansion. I was reading about the Pacific Theatre one, and it sounds cool. I was wondering if any of the other ones are "must haves." Also, I'm still interested in deeper, more simulationist-y...

Well, last night we played a couple games of M44 and had a blast. If we continue to like it as much as we do, I may consider buying some of the expansions. Reading about the Campaign Book has me a little interested. I like the idea of a ton of new scenarios that actually influence each other...

Thanks everyone for the responses. I decided to get Memoir '44, and just picked it up yesterday from a local game shop. They ha Tide of Iron, but I didn't know anything about it, and in hindsight wish a little bit that I had gotten that instead. But whatever is cool. The rules seem pretty cool...

Thanks everyone for the responses. We're more interested in a board game kind of deal, I think. I mainly don't want us to have to buy a lot of crap, I'd rather just buy a box and maybe some expansions and then be able to roll with it. I think my hierarchy of needs in wargames would probably be...

My friends and I have recently gotten pretty into board games. So far we've got Starcraft the Board Game, Fire & Axe and Risk: Godstorm. And pretty soon we should also have Carcassonne, Arkham Horror, and Last Night on Earth. In addition to these, I'd kind of like to try a wargame of some...

So wait, if I die, not only can I not roll a new character, but I can't even play anymore? Who would want to play this?

I would think some one should stat up some new monsters. what kind of world doesn't even have gelatinous cubes?

My friends and I are definitely going. It will be our first time at any Con whatsoever. Also, it will be one of my friend's 21st birthday. Just as some advice, can anyone tell me the wildest bar in Indianapolis?

I really think the way new players will get into the game is through video games. That's how I got into it. Actually, I got into fantasy books from getting into Dungeons and Dragons and various CRPGs. I think, for the time being, the new generation of gamers will come from video games.

but if you don't kill him you won't get his xp!

1.) How many players in your group? We have me and three others. Some days it's only two others. 2.) Do you DM? Hell yes 3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many? Nope. 4.) What's the Male/Female composition of the group? 3 dudes and one lady 5.) Got a good gamestore near you and...
