Computer wargames don't need clippers at all. Just a dongle.

Theater command games should not have production rules.  (That is at the level of Grand Strategy)

Star Fleet Battles ain't that hard. {The rules, that is-- beating a skilled opponent? That's hard.}

Dental Floss may NOT be used to check LOS in Squad Leader games. Especially if it's already been used.  :nope:

Uh OH! UCG You've gotten the FULL -On Tea & Hobnob treatment.  Just the Hobnobs break most men.  :biggrin:

Actually way back there, all there was were board games and Squad Leader was one of my favorites along with some of the add-ons. War & Peace, Panzerblitz, Third Reich, Waterloo was my first board wargame. It was really hard to find almost anyone in my little town to play with. This was back in the 70's and suddenly war wasn't too cool anymore, not like in the 60's, so I didn't get a lot of time in any of the games. But I still miss those days, nothing like opening a new box and.... :dreamer:

I think UCG has too much piss, vinegar, and chips in him to be swayed into our camp  ;D
