Great analysis, thank you! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

I guess id have to say Panzerblitz. I played those scenarios repeatedly, and made my own counters on card stock. System is still enjoyable today!

A man of class and taste ❤🎉

One of my all time favorites. The game favors the Allied player if both players are of equal skill. Many strategies appeared in AH’s General magazine. The Prussian Angelo-Allied player is favored.

Entertaining and instructive. Great video. Thank you very much.

Excellent content.

No Axis and Allies? Why are these games all ancient?

My first AH games in order were Trireme, Panzer Leader, Squad Leader.

Russian Front, my only AH game.

I had a lot of these games

I was in Georgia Tech in the '80s, and I got some fellow students to play "Vietnam" campaign, it was awesome, great game.

OMG Statis Pro!! We had a whole league for both baseball and football way back mid 80’s. Had rookie drafts and I think as many as 14 teams in both for a few years. As a group we had almost the whole library of AH bookcase games in our studio we rented for gaming. What a blast. Did some home brew to fix whatever didn’t work right and just had a lot of fun.

I really liked playing 'Panzergruppe Guderian'. Wish I had kept it.

Jesus loves you

Played many AH games in the 70s while in high school. We had a club called Der Panzer Obercommando. Remember Blitzkrieg, Diplomacy, Gettysburg, Afrika Korps, and Luftwaffe.

Nice work! I won my first game of Diplomacy, as I was stabbed in the back on the first turn, and looked pretty pathetic. I was Turkey, and the Russian player straight-up lied to me. EVERYONE came to my rescue, and knocked Russia out by turn 3. Then, they started their in-fighting, so I scooped up Russia and Scandinavia, lent some help to Germany to silence AH, and when the dust cleared, I had about 24 supply centers, and everyone agreed that it was over. I have played another 10-12 times, and never got better than 3rd place. But, I use this game in my Social Studies 11 classes to teach the students about international politics and why you simply cannot trust everyone all the time. A few friendships have been strained, to say the least, but there is something satisfying about watching Grade 11 students walking around with maps of 1901 Europe, devising strategies and laying traps, rather than staring into a phone...

Out of your list SL was my favorite when I was a teenager.

1972 first Xmas I actually got what I asked for - Richthofen's War! My buddy and I got caught attempting to shoplift mini tanks by the hobby shop owner. He asked us why we wanted them and when we said we played with them attempting to recreate battles, he invited us to come over to his house that friday night for the Wargaming Club. That started off a lifetime of Avalon Hill, SPI, GDW, and many more now gone and forgotten games. Of all the Games over all the years, I did have a favorite: The original 1977 Wacht Am Rhein. There is still a 1980's copy of AH Battle of the Bulge in my back bedroom closet I have had since college.

My favorite 10 AH games: Advanced Civilization; Kingmaker; Wooden Ships & Iron Men; Wizard's Quest; Panzerblitz; Starship Troopers; Panzer Leader; History of the World; Wizards; Rail Baron.

I also lack the inclination to buy ASL. I have all of the basic Squad Leader game and expansions, and while imperfect, it's unlimited fun. While I personally collected more games by SPI, AH definitely got things started for me with Jutland. Thanks so much for the trip down memory lane!

I had a similar approach to Cax. Voting by feeling and memories. Also sometimes, a>b and b>c does not mean a>c. And that's great!

I loved Victory in the Pacific and War at Sea alot of weekends and late nights

I really liked Squad Leader, and went on to ASL. However, the rules eventually became too cumbersome for me, so I moved on.

Was hoping for Nato and Flash to “give” payback for the “torture” Cax gave in the other two…then I see why….Cax was first…really enjoyed these three…have already done a couple of go throughs with two of my sons…Cax made it extremely fun in his glee in “torturing” his friends

Nice….two of my favorite you tube channels combined! Thanks.

AH tried to do to many games in a short time...some were great, some not so much

I still have The War of the Ring game with the Ralph Bakshi movie box.

🤣⚾️🎲 Long ago, at nerd camp in teen years before the driver’s license age, a new friend introduced me to Status Pro Baseball. My first batter came to bat. My friend, as pitcher, rolled some dice and consulted some tables… …Leadoff home run. My next batter came to bat. My friend rolled some dice and consulted some tables and rolled again. Then he looked confused, delved the rules, consulted more tables, and all but conducted deep research on whatever the thrown bones showed. Apparently, the dice indicated that this particular pitcher had suffered an injury, and further, the injury was career ending! I nerdily pointed out that this injury and its timing, as far as we were concerned, made his career ERA “infinity” (undefined; 1 / 0) making him the worst pitcher ever. We rolled with laughter, put the game away, and never played it again. How can you beat that for cardboard humor? 🤣

Baseball Weekly was excellent. I hated when USA Today converted it to Sports Weekly and started covering other sports. I am only a baseball fan. So, the other sports were of no interest to me.

I played Midway, Gettysburg, Panzer Leader, Squad Leader, Diplomacy, King Maker and Assassin. All were fun!!

My top two were War at Sea and Pacific War which could be combined for a fill war experience.

My favorite was D-day which I played many times in High School. I still remember losing a 2-1 battle vs. those German panzers on one occasion which lost me the game ...

God, I used to look toward to the newest games...it was in the the 70s...Wellington vs...blast from my youth...but ...I enjoy the computer...sorry..71..can't do the tweezers any more...love the memories..😍

AH loved them...but also Hated them..😍😍...2024

My two favorites are Squad Leader and Wooden Ships Iron Men. I have spent many of hours with my friends playing Squad Leader in High School and college and in many game stores. In High School. My friends and I would start playing it Friday night and into Sunday afternoon if time was not a factor and I was able to get the large living room table to play on. My dad would sometimes watch the game and laugh at some of the tactics used. He would then tell us of some of his experience in the Army. I started playing Wooden Ships Iron Men in the early 90's. I had a friend who collected minis of different ships and we used them often in that game. I still love playing both games. I would love to have new players. Squad Leader players are hard to find.

Africa Corp was the one I played the most. I was never much good at it for i always lost Tobruk when I played the allies, which was most of the time. Blitzkrieg I played 4 or 5 times as the allies and I always lost Moscow. Aagain, never was much good at it. Never the less, i enjoyed these games and have fond memories of those days.

Pro tip: play irl don’t play any online bc if ur playing with the boys you can get em to to the blow on it thing and then u can get whatever you want!

Tactics 2, a gift from grandma, in late 60s got me started. My favs were Yaquinto Pub's - 88, Panzer & Armor. Sci-fi were SPI'S Starforce Trilogy and Star Fleet Battles by Task Force

there really isnt an explore bit to this game

I didn't have Statis Pro Baseball, but I did have Statis Pro Football. And to this day I still have, King Maker, Panzer Blitz, Luftwaffe, Circus Maximus, Midway, Richthofen's War, Gunslinger, and maybe the best one, Wooden Ships & Iron Men.

I discovered Avalon Hill wargames in December 1966 when I was in 10th grade. The first one I owned was Africa Korps which was the only one I played with my Dad who served in North Africa in WWII. In early 1967, I discovered Chris Wagner's Strategy and Tactics (S&T) Magazine and, a bit later, James F. Dunnigan's Kampf pamphlets. S&T's revised OB's for AH's Stalingrad captured my imagination and I spent the next 30 years researching combat in the East. I discovered Calhamer's Diplomacy in college before AH took it over. For AH, I guess my favorite games were Battle of the Bulge, Blitzkrieg, Panzerblitz, Jutland, and 1914. S&T added to Blitzkrieg, Modular Blitzkrieg, which was an interesting modification. S&T introduced me to Roger Cormier's Trafalgar, Phil Orbane's Gamescience Corporation (from which I acquired Vietnam, Confrontation, and Battle of Britain), and Doug Malewicki's Nuclear War (the only game I've ever played where everyone could and did lose). Before becoming SPI, S&T published Flight of the Goeben of which, at one time, I thought about trying to create a computer version in the early 80s. My 10th grade geometry teacher (head of the wargamer's club) also introduced me to Richard Gutenkunst's Iwo Jima and a revised OB for Battle of the Bulge. My association with S&T also introduced me to the brief but prolific existence of Rand Game Associates. I liked these games because a number of them were a departure from the 'traditional' hexagon overlaid mapboard. I could probably go on and on but I imagine folks are burned out from this wall of text. I'll end this missive with mention that the first (and I think only) AH game my Dad purchased was Dispatcher. A lot of good memories from a time when wargames were quite popular. Thanks for the video.

Great video, just played my first round of space diamonds today!

Got the Starship Troopers Game one long ago Christmas. It wasn't very playable but they did a nice job of trying to simulate the books. Outdoor survival was often used for DnD wilderness travel. Afrika Corps was the first historical simulation game I ever played. Yes My Dad bought Diplomacy. You could never play with the same group twice. God the three of my us my brothers and I played Sink the Bismark for a couple Christmases in a row. We played Statis Pro Baseball back in the 1970's. We had a six or five player league. I played a lot of Panzer Blitz and a little later an Arab- Israeli war variation.

Some of my favorite AH games: Squad Leader, Acquire, Dune, Diplomacy, Rail Baron, War at Sea, Victory at Sea, Third Reich.

thx. 0:40 this isn't possible. X never could start at a metro-station

omg, my youth (HS etc) playing these games with friends! SPI was always the best, AH did nice quality but usually not as deep or realistic or the same scale.

How can you not include Stalingrad!

I had Fortress Europa and Squad Leader, as well as 2 or 3 extensions. I loved that game, and my main problem was finding people to play against.

I spent a whole summer playing this (AFRICA CORP) with a friend of mine, and he always beat me. To this day I can't figure out how he did it. Grr....

So many memories... i own both Bismark and Gettysburg. Tnx for the video
