Where can I find the charts and tables books digitally?

This was one of the most basic AH games. Is a very simple tactical battle that is supposed to teach the mechanics of attacking at 3-1 odds or better and using soakoffs to cut down casualties and keep a positive attrition rate. None of the unit types really matter as the rules don't make any distinction between types and Hqs are superfluous. The key was saving your 1s 2s and 3s for soakoffs. Since the Allied player has 1s to soakoff and the French must use use 2s and 3s the attrition rate favors the allies. Against good defenders its not really practical that the French will actually exit units off the map so the game slightly favors the Allies. A fun game for a few play throughs and a good starting point and stepping stone to more complex games. Nice job guys.

D-Day; Tactics II, Gettysburg early version

How about JUTLAND.. My collage buddy and I used the entire living room floor to play that classic AH game.

Thanks so much for this my king!

You totally forgot about your spy

I learned much about English geography playing Kingmaker a long time ago...

Thanks for reminders of my youth. One of my fondest memories was a double blind game of Squad Leader (the double-blind rules came out of The General Magazine).

I still have an shrink-wrapped copy of Campaign for North Africa. The Post Office lost my order and I got a new copy with the insurance. Months later the Post Office delivered the lost copy and I never opened it.😊

I can't see how it's a viable strategy to start building roosts so late, maybe it works against bots or in the old meta

Really thanks for this video. I own the original version which is my top 2 boardgame and hesitated buying the new one and selling the original. No need !!! Usefull and brilliant video !

Arab-Israeli Wars was my introduction to the company.

Up Front, to this day remains one of the best games ever. I have had three copies over all my years, because friends keep "borrowing" my copies. The Asshats have my Italian expansions. I have yet to recoup that. Outdoor Survival is one of the WORST games ever, completely pointless and stupid. Even for nostalgias sake, just dreadful. No Civ? Surprising, but im not mad. One the other hand Republic of Rome absolutely deserves top ten credits. AH had a lot of games, and we all have our favorites( Stellar Conquest, Trireme, Titan, Kremlin, Rail Baron), but the vast majority were flawed to various degrees. So it's tough to form a non biased two ten, and one or two can be forgiven. I never played Bismarck, I'll have to hunt that one down.

My first game was Battle of the Bulge. Between my friends and I, we played a lot of them. I really liked Luftwaffe and Richtofen's War the most, I think.

For me my game was Chancellorville. After various house moves was lost but still remembered with fondness.

Oil slicks aren't removed from the board. They're permanent.

Whoa, this version is fancy. I had a complete set of the original when I was a kid. Yeah, a kid. Not in my 40's.

Very CooI ! Have a few Avalon Hill games and use to have the Bismarck game ? This game seems fairly even and particularly "fun".

I started board War gaming when one of my friends bought Avalon Hills 1914. All my friends would get together and play 1914, Waterloo, Bismarck, Gettysburg.

It’s good, I played it but found that there are few alternative paths possible in reality. It is quite framed within the historical events so you can’t really take Napoleon to an innovate scenario. Rather you tried to do the same things he did a bit better… good but for me there was a bit of a disappointment here

2:16 should've targetted the 1 hp enemy to lessen the incoming damage to the brute

I love the GIPF series of games. They are so satisfying. Great job turning this out so quickly.

Amazing how fast you can turn out content like this. Great job!

I made a game almost exactly like Tripples as a birthdate gift to my sister. Later I made it again as a computer game for a mobile game (before the smartphones) when working on the now defunct PocitLabs. The game was called Backmannon and I havd absolutely no idea about this game existing.

Business Strategy is a great game. 100% skill based with no randomness or hidden information. The advanced game adds company balance sheets and taxes. If you ever want to add factories to your rpg use the mechanics and numbers to base it of.

40 years ago a few thinking players came up with multi-player version B-17:Queen of the Skies. Each player controls their own plane. I played this many times over 20 years.

I enjoy Ark nova, Ryan Reynolds brother

I loved Sniper! I created an excellent solo variant, using a chit pull system.

Anniversary lol and of course the original are my favorites 😊 41 is meh. And I am hoping to play global soon.

I do

WEAPONS AND WARRIORS WAS BETTER

I am a HUGE fan of Abalone. But I've never seen this one. I'm gonna have to check it out! How does it compare? I'm also a fan of Tak: the Beautiful Game

I currently own Yinch and Dvonn but Haven't played them yet. Looks like I will enjoy this one.

My wife and I were gifted a copy of this game at Christmas and absolutely fell in love with it. It took a minute for me to get my head around the rules, but it opened up the world of COIN games to me and is the reason I found your channel in th first place!

I enjoy the whole series, but Dvonn may be my favorite.

I just bought a copy

I remember seeing it play tested at SPI in the 70s. It was enormous and it got a lot of the e R&D staff involved.

Is there still a chance that this game will be released? Is there any news?

The first wargame i bought

Feast of Odin

Please do a how-to-play for Red Dust Rebellion.

The best way I see for putting everything back in perfectly is by removing the insert (don't have to regret about it as the insert might cost very little money)

I can't believe Kingmaker and Jutland were not on the list!

I know this video is older but hopefully someone is still checking! New-ish to brass and one thing I am struggling with is when none of the merchants in the bottom of the map (Oxford / Gloucester) are selling crates? If our goal is to use other player's links and everyone is playing around Birmingham, what do we do if what we're trying to sell is not there? Building mostly by yourself at the top of the map is obviously doable but won't allow much of using other players links. I am usually playing 3/4 player games. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

thank you very much is this a player vs player or can the computer control a side?

The game that started it all for me was Blitzkrieg, and then Luftwaffe, and then Panzer Leader, Alexander, 1776, ....

To me, it started in 1977 when it came out with the Gettysburg game. The Avalon Hill General reported it was the lowest rated game ever. On their feedback. I bought it and thought it was just an absolutely horrible design. Then they started getting cheap With the map boards and they started warping, I just thought at the time, can't they do anything right? I will say this, back in the 1960s and '70s they kept me occupied. Me and my buddies all played war games. And when I got bored, I'd get Afrika Korps table and play solo. Fun times. Here I am at age 67 and I still play games with my buddies.

My favorite was Feudal. I didn't see it on your list but I did see a brief flyby of the case in your intro. I can remember playing into the early morning hours with my friends during my teenage years. What a great time.

What a wonderful walk back through Memory Lane and young adulthood. Thanks so much for these interesting and provocative choices. I would say that "Waterloo" and "Jutland" were my two favorites as a youth. I'm guessing that had more to do with a fondness for all things European. I also have a memory of a game that involved the entire Russian Front where (as the Russian player) you just had to hang in there and not be overwhelmed at first. Does that ring a Teutonic/Slavic bell? at all with anyone? Finally, there was a game that was about the entire Air War Theater in WWII. Want to say it was called "Luftwaffe". Speaking of which, is the story true that AH tested the names and found that German words made a game move off the shelves faster than an English one?
