Wargames have come and gone over the course of many years. The original Charles Roberts game Tactics is a collector's item--just one of many.
My question is, which wargames have best stood the test of time without just becoming collector's items? In other words, what are the oldest wargames people are still playing today and plan to keep on playing?
I'm thinking of Tom Oleson, who dedicated many years to his game Anzio. Or the die-hard SL/ASL fans who've continued playing even though their game has been out of print for years. Or fans of the "Avalon Hill Classics" who still attend conventions and play the likes of Afrika Korps and Waterloo.
What's the oldest game on your shelf that you'd gladly take down and play today? What's the oldest one you still play pretty regularly? And is there any game of which you'd say, "Oh, yeah, I'll definitely be playing this one as long as I live"?
