Cpl Steiner Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Hi all, Slightly (well a lot actually) off topic, but has anyone played any of the "World at War" boardgames? The first one was "Eisenbach Gap" and then several expansions and additional titles came out after. I've never owned one of these but they look interesting. It would be interesting to compare one of these simulation boardgames to CM:SF. I know the boardgames are set in the 80s but it's still modern tactical warfare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medlinke Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 They are VERY well received in the boardgame geek community which normally gets wargames pretty correct in terms of reviewing them.

Lock n Load publishing puts out some really great stuff and their customer service on the boardgame side of things is top notch. They replace counters that get mis-printed and the like. Mark supports the games well and actively browses the BoardgameGeek forums. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Steiner Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 I am tempted. I notice also that there is now a "Lock n Load" game set in the same fictional 80's Third World War setting - "Heroes of the Gap". Lock n Load: Heroes of the Gap - http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/42731 Well actually I think it's not out yet - one of those P500 style pre-order games - but I reckon they'll get the numbers they require to go to the printers. Sorry BFC if this is infringing any rules. I hope not, as I can't see a boardgame being in direct competition to CM:SF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21sec Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I own everything LnL has published so far in the WaW series. Great game, simple but accurate rules, maps and counters are gorgeous. A lot of fun, and scenerios can be played in a couple of hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runyan99 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I'm interested in the eastern front computer wargame they are working on, it should be out this year I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
