The Hunt for Red October was one of my first ever proper  :hehe: war boardgames. I had that and Red Storm and A Line in the Sand (which I discovered I couldn't really play solo due to the diplomacy aspect).

I have Hunt for Red October also. A friend of mine said he'd send me his copy of Red Storm Rising but he's not done that yet. It's my understanding that the games can be merged and played together.

I used to have A Line in the Sand myself! I actually played it once with a large group of friends. It was a shitshow of the umpteenth degree.  ;D But, absolutely fun.

I had all 3 of those as well. In fact, they may yet live somewhere at my parents house. I'm going to have to go hunting when I'm next over there.

RO and RSR can indeed be merged. Did that a lot as a kid, but it only worked because we had a ping pong table in the basement that became a gaming table for those sessions.

Line in the Sand was a blast if you had friends who would really get into their roles. We had a house rule that anytime you chose one of the options involving giving a speech that you had to actually stand up and do so. So much fun.  :ROFL:

We're not just dropping a lot of games today.  We're dropping them every hour and still running all day long! :)

The first ones to drop?

Karl (from the Boardgame Bootcamp) gave us a look inside the new Assault: Red Horizon '41

and Ardwulf showed off the C&C:Napoleonics expansion for the Prussians

Assault looks pretty interesting.
