Askovdk Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Hi all This is my pet battle based on the unserious boardgame JUNTA by West End Games. I would like somebody to test it in two player mode. It is quite large but should be funny to play, as it contain an ahistorical mix of units. For those that don't know the boardgame it is about a military coup in a Latin American Republic.

Askovdk Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 Hm, the link won't work, so you must drop me an email. Sorry for the inconvinience, - when the battle has been tested I'll upload it to the public servers. Anders 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockinHarry Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Funny! I really have this bordgame and it has collected lots of dust for over 10 years now. Reason was I couldn´t get my girl play it with me. Don´t even know the rules anymore. :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 There are several ancillary tools that allow some boardgames to be played on-line or by e-mail. And since the success of card-driven stategy games (e.g. Hannibal, Successors, Paths of Glory) there are even programs that can handle the cards. I wonder if there is something like this for Junta. I'm not interested in a CM-to-Junta conversion, but having spent a certain amount of time in a real-life Republica de los Bananas, I really appreciate that old gem and would love to play it again someday. It's a bit dated since it doesn't include the debt crisis, the Paris Club, Brady bonds, la bicicleta, and drug smuggling, but the game is meant to be played in the 1960's, when golpas were still in fashion and civilized forms of capital flight had yet to become commonplace. Of course, the best way to play it is around a big table with a lot of unruly people, cerveza, and perhaps something a little stronger. iViva la Revolucion!
