Anyway, last night I was happily playing <a href="http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/24693" target="_blank">They Shall Not Pass: The Battle of Verdun 1916</a>, a small wargame from Avalanche Press which isn't without its merits.The box says 90-120 minutes, but our first game took a little longer than that... 4 hours with still two of nine turns left to play!<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=39031&stc=1&d=1234489347" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />The rules are quite simple if you've played hex-and-counter wargames before; first-timers might be more advised to start on something a little simpler, though it really isn't that hard. Harder were the tactics. My poor French!An AAR of the game can be found here: <a href="http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3119719" target="_blank">http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3119719</a>Other World War I games we have around the place include <a href="http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/91" target="_blank">Paths of Glory</a> and <a href="http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/23418" target="_blank">Pursuit of Glory</a>, neither of which we've managed to play yet (though Randy's played a bit of the former solo, and me the latter solo)...Have you played any WW1 games?Cheers!</blockquote>
