And after watching many Inside the Hatch videos (Chieftan) I'd add that the optics provided, or lack thereof, factor heavily in the effectiveness. IE: vision slit vs fully articulated periscope, and everything in between. One tank (at least) even had no way at all for the bow gunner to see...

A very handsome box!

True for me. A friend had to almost drag me to an introduction to the game, I didn't really feel like learning another game at the time ('81 I think). It was pretty basic: grab 3 counters from a bag and another guy would explain what they do, what the numbers mean. Just putting those counters...

The Elefant may be captured or knocked out, otherwise that's a pretty crazy spot to get into. :)

Happy Birthdays, guys! 🎂🎂 and🥂🥂 or ☕☕

Yep, that's it. I've played quite a lot of 3R back then. There were multiple AH games which I also had that used the same mapboard format, such as 3R, Guns of August, and Richtofen's War. These were the same style as the mounted SL & ASL boards, and the strategy games used 4 maps laid out side...

Started out with 3R, Axis & Allies, Hitler's War, King Maker, Imperium Romanum, Air Force & Dauntless, D&D and Dragon Quest, Traveller, then SL and later ASL, Shogun (M&B), LOADS of Dawn Patrol, Guns of August, Gladiator, Battlewagon, Wooden Ships & Iron Men, Pacific War, Battletech, Behind...

If there were enemy troops above your tank that now could not escape then it would have been a pretty good result. :sneaky:

A little resurrection is in order: Listened to something today and this little thing got mentioned which I have never considered - driving through an AP minefield with riders aboard. Clever if it works. Would suck to get immobilized, though. :oops:

As Yngwie would say "more is more" 😎 🤘

How about sending an email from each player to a third person who then announces the results?

A short video highlighting some common Soviet river boats for anyone wanting to add some spice to scenario designs featuring larger rivers or perhaps smaller landing operations:

They're much, much worse! They fall down through your PC tower and clog the cooling fan shrouds, eventually burning up your CPU. :eek:

They're usually nowhere near as subtle as they think they are if you're paying attention at all. A question re: this occurs to me: If someone did this and you realize it, you give them the stare and they feign innocence, would you keep playing to see if you still beat them (assuming there's a...

Brings back memories of the late '70s - early '80s when they went on strike nearly every year.

I started with SL in '82 (maybe '81?), really can't remember exactly, after an unusual introduction via a friend who described it much like an WWII RPG, I guess he thought I'd be more interested that way since we were D&D players. The bug bit me pretty good immediately, some time later we drove...

I used to have mine delivered to my work. I've never had anything stolen after delivery, but why tempt fate? Most often lately they don't even try to deliver, only put a tag in the mailbox and I have to go pick up the parcel downtown. It would be simpler if they forgot the charade and just sent...

Dec. 19, 1988 apparently. We never had pointed ones in my neighbourhood. There used to be one of those puke-inducing spinners in the park between my house and the nearest school, fun times! Teeter totters were how you learned who to trust. My brother rolled off the bottom once and I ended on...

I had decided to curtail my ASL purchases for the most part (excepting Journals, of course), but Polish Eagles sounds too good to pass up.
