In the game my strategy was to first attack the weaker captured Russian troops the germans were using to hold up certain positions and then go from there to recapture the various cities. 😀 😀 😛

That's why you are a very^99999999999999999999999999999999999 great general 😀 😛

Thanks General Zod. 😀 The strategy worked fairly well. The russian troops had very low morale and were not well armed. It was a good entry point into the theater from there. Things of course got much more difficult when facing the German troops LOL but at least at that point I had choices. 😀 😀 😛

Thanks for the link my friend Look at this picture of The Duke His helmet has two stars of a major general In the D-Day movie he was a lieutenant colonel That rank is a silver oak leaf

I am trying to think of the movie he played a major general 😀 😛

You're welcome my friend 😀

Back in the mid 80's I had bought a two player board game called panzer leader It was a game based on W.W.2 battles from France to Germany 1944-1945 First time I played it,a friend of mine played the Allies,and I played the germans on the D-Day invasion I was able to win
I guess some of it was on the roll of the dice 😀 😛

Most movies are remakes of older movies,or remade TV series Like the Brady Bunch

No I did not see the Brady Bunch movies 😛

😀 😛

In those days before electronic games, there were many war games that used dice to determine the outcome of battles. 😀 😛

I always liked war strategy games. Harpoon was the one I played the most. 😀 😀 😛

I forget what this game was called but they had various battles thorugh history you could renact. The cool thing was you could follow things differently even though the objectives were the same. 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

I never played any role play games. I did have several war games manufactured by Avalon Hill. 😀 😛

Sounds like a neat game Shame we can't market our past battles as a board game 😀 😛

I use to play a lot of those. 😀 I played all the UNIX ones too like larn, Ularn, hack, Rogue, Moria, etc. Most of these are available for the PC and they are free. 😀 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Free is good. 😀 😛

Now there was a good game maker My favorite from them was called Patton's Best It was a solitare game where you played an American tank commander

One time I combined 3 types of Sherman variants into a modified Sherman

I used a wider suspension/track combo for better off road traction

I then used what was called a Jumbo Sherman-better armor

Then the British made 17 pounder tank fun That gun was a high velocity round tank cannon It would go through the front armor of a Tiger 1 and Panther 😀 😛

Yea and most of the files are only like 250-600 Kb big so its not a big download and does not take up much room on the hard drive. 😀 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

The games that I had from Avalon Hill were all two-player games. They attempted to recreate the forces available to both sides in an actual war or theater of battle. I played them for many hours when I could find a partner. 😀 😛

Free is always good The role playing games I usually paled was Dungeons and Dragons and a post W.W.3 game called Twilight 2000 😀 😛
