[QUOTE="Rob Kuntz, post: 8322803, member: 7015759"] Heh. I had to refresh my memory by referencing the wiki on it: "The game is a slightly modified copy of an early 20th century[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France']French[/URL] game named [I][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Attaque']L'Attaque[/URL] [[URL='https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Attaque']fr[/URL]][/I] ("[I]The Attack[/I]"). It has been in production in[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe']Europe[/URL] since [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II']World War II[/URL] and the[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States']United States[/URL] since 1961." Some earlier versions by Milton Bradley had wooden pieces; the one we played had hard molded plastic pieces. It was the only game that I could best Gary Gygax at for about two years as I had mastered it before meeting him in 1968. Making others happy is good as long as they do not take you for granted. My wife, who is French, learned that the hard way when she lived abroad in Manchester UK for 16 years. [/QUOTE]
