lurrp Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Just got VASSAL, playing around with it. I got the module of GMT's Panzer game, one I'd been wanting to play but never got around to buying it. Any good WWII games I should know about? If anyone wants to play me in a game, just send a PM. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Yaquinto's (later Avalon Hill's) Flat Top. An absolutely marvelous naval game that has always cried out for a computer version. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadsword56 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Where Eagles Dare and it's companion Devil's Cauldron. Excellent monster games covering Market Garden. +1 to that. And if you like those two games in the MMP Grand Tactical Series, there's a Crete game in playtesting now too. With the advent of GL (NZ & FJ troops & kit, Maori mod, etc.) CMFI gives us nearly everything we'd need to do Op-Tac campaigns with the Crete game (although OOBs would need tweaking in the editor to 1941 era, and we don't have Gebirgsjaeger troops yet). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckman Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 The runaway success of the Ipad and App Store means there are a number of both hex ad card wargames in the conversion stage. Several of GMT's titles, for example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hey Broadsword, I haven't forgotten about the MG campaign, just finishing up all my cases so I can retire this summer. I hang out here and play a game or two, but haven't been able to commit to a regular campaign yet. I didn't know that MMP has a Crete game coming. I certainly would be interested in that one! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
