HAMTAG 'Top 5 Owned But Unplayed War Games' Bonding With Board Games

[@laurelmatt5415]

I've got so many unplayed wargames, that picking five is a tough order. However, here are the ones I have on my list to play next, with the possible exception of Vietnam: 1. Sauter sur Kolwezi (Vae Victis magazine game) - I finished preparing this one last night and am hoping to get to play it this evening. 2. Mokra 1st September 1939 (Strategemata) - This one is also ready to play, so could see the table in the next couple of weeks. 3. Tonkin: The Indochina war 1950-54 (second edition) (Legion Wargames) 4. Vietnam 1965-1975 (Victory Games) 5. 1813: Napoleon's Nemesis (Europa Simulazioni)

[@BondingWithBoardGamesRPGs]

Great list Laurel.

[@juddvance7721]

Vietnam is a tough one. It has a nice intro scenario and a well written rulebook, but it is still a tough nut to crack.

[@laurelmatt5415]

Thanks Judd. I've had Vietnam for a couple of years now, but it's proving difficult to find the time to get it set up and be able to play through at least a couple of the scenarios. I even created a new - reformatted - version of the rulebook to make it easier to read. It looks like such a good game that I don't want to give up on it. I will get round to playing it one day. In the meantime, there are still the other 30 or so unplayed wargames to try out!

[@benfoster6715]

Bonding With Board Games Were you able to tap into the Advanced and Optional rules? In your review you said it was a bit overwhelming, iirc

[@edmundbloxam2714]

I did notice that Judd is unnervingly slimmer. Glad it was deliberate. :)

[@timothysmith6211]

I got two i can think of right off the bat that I really need to dust off and give a try. 1. Gladiator quest for the Rudis. 2. Field commander Rommel. Thanks for another great video.

[@BondingWithBoardGamesRPGs]

Thank you. Love Quest.

[@sgtNUKEtroop]

Donald Featherstone's war gaming books are great...old school...and different period rule books as well...

[@BondingWithBoardGamesRPGs]

Thanks Alan, will have to check those out.

[@gregschmittgens1262]

I checked out several of them back when I worked at the St. Louis public library. Reinforced my interest in wargames that started with Blitzkrieg

[@DeerHunter308]

As I slowly dip my big toe in the world of board games, I decided to look for "Zones of Control" and found one on Ebay - new - for $18.99 postage paid. can't wait to get it. Love HAMTAGs.

[@BondingWithBoardGamesRPGs]

Thank you Sir. This book has some depth.

[@gregschmittgens1262]

Happy I got to spread some info on it

[@paulcurlin2789]

If you want to try the Wellington's Victory system without going into a huge game, there was an old issue of Stategy and Tactics (#74) that did the Battle of Quatre Bras. I think both were designed by Balkoski(sp?)

[@paulcurlin2789]

I just checked and only Ney vs. Welington was by Balkoski.

[@riverwanderer]

The (Hougoumont) intro scenario can be done on a dining table... that’s as a far as I ever got. Still have the game.

[@dillenbeck53531]

I don't really do top 5 lists, but I'll give it a go (however, some are really series - I have too many unplayed wargames because my wife and I are usually playing non-wargames): 1. Men of Iron Series - Played 2 scenarios in Volume 1, 1 scenario in Volume 3; but I have all 4 volumes plus recently acquired C3i #22 for the Agincourt scenario; Currently preparing to go through all 28 scenarios from start to finish. 2. Great Battles of History Series - I have the recent Alexander game (Macendonian Art of War), SPQR Deluxe, Caesar: Conquest of Gaul, and Chandragupta. I really want to get to Chandragupta the most, but with Battles of the Warrior Queen on P500 preorder I am interested in that set of conflicts also. I have the Simple GBoH series also, which from my understanding isn't more simple but maybe a little less fiddly with counters (and I'll probably just jump into the full system after Men of Iron). 3. The US Civil War - Missed that they were selling prints of the updated rules and player aid, so I guess I'll just have to print out my own copy. I don't have any of the US civil war classics, but at least I have this one (thanks to Marcowargamer's review). 4. Battles of the American Revolution Tri-Pac - Just got this one. I'll probably play through Men of Iron, then one GBoH title (most likely SPQR), and then dive into this one. 5. Agincourt - The old SPI boxed game. Was going to play this on the anniversary of the battle, but then life got in the way. As always, there are tons of games on the way (eventually). Everything will go on hold when Pendragon ships and arrives, and everything is on hold right now as I redo the game room (found some 3x3 cube shelves at Target, and they were on clearance for $25). As to Liberty or Death, that was the game that got me into the Revolutionary War/Rebellion of the Colonies topic. School really turned me off to the topic when I was young, but COIN ignited my interest and this one became my favorite in the series (beating out Falling Sky, which is #2 and I though would be #1). I consider LoD to be a mix of almost all the COIN rules out there, and I like the look and abstraction of the game. Best of all, my wife and I control one side of a two player game against the bots and it becomes a co-operative wargame that she'll play (otherwise I get to play solo almost all the time). It is a great game, but if you don't like the COIN series then this won't change your mind.

[@BondingWithBoardGamesRPGs]

Great list dillenbeck and good to see someone who has at least as many un played as me.

[@kurtkohler2062]

Hey, Bart, I just watched the Old Forester review on Scotch Test Dummies, just to learn that you have your own board game channel. Amazing. I left a follow.

[@BondingWithBoardGamesRPGs]

Thanks Kohler...I think I said that in German on the Scotch Test Dummy channel and then Scott asked if I knew you were German. He thinks you are from farther North.

[@kurtkohler2062]

[@BondingWithBoardGamesRPGs]

Thanks Noble and awesome. There is a wonderful wargaming world out there.

[@madddog6790]

Just a heads up on the Fire Team update...it's been renamed Kontact Now: Red Eclipse, and it's available for pre-order from LnL. Odd thing is, it's in the WWII game series folder at Consimworld. Per a thread on BGG, there is a lot of WWII content by the designer, but according to David at LnL, the stuff they publish (short term anyway) will focus on modern stuff. Looks cool...I pre-ordered it. Also, how can you guys talk about War of the Ring and not at least mention the awesome designer edition. A buddy of mine has it, and it's something to behold :)

[@BondingWithBoardGamesRPGs]

Thanks for the Red Eclipse info. I know about the collectors edition but have never seen it.

[@madddog6790]

It's a work of art...huge wooden box, hand painted minis, etc. They only made 1000 of them, I think. Originally $400, occasionally up on ebay for $2000 lol. Don't know if anyone actually buys them at that price, but still. Oh, next time you talk to Judd, ask him if he's ever heard of Ayreon. If he's not aware of them, as a DT/prog fan, he should check them out. Oh, and keep up the good work!

Fire Power never clicked for me either. Bought it when it first came out. I need to look again and determine why.

[@gkrockover]

I play The Gamers/MMP's "Thunder at the Crossroads II" on Rick Barbers Summer Storm map and I love the way that it looks - probably the nicest looking map that I have in my collection. I'll be curious to see how you get along with Summer Storm Judd as I've been thinking of picking up a copy of it. The more "chrome" the better for me and I think Rick has it in there.

[@juddvance7721]

Got it scheduled for February.

[@juddvance7721]

One note: on C&C:Tricorne, the cards are thinner than GMT's C&C games. I had not opened them at the time and assumed it would be the same card thickness as Festung Europa. It was not. I would suggest sleeving those cards, where I don't sleeve any of my other Borg games. That was sad because the quality was so over the top for everything else in this game.

[@riverwanderer]

I’m learning God’s Playground on a borrowed copy. Hopeful of finding two other players locally but it is on VASSAL anyway. Intriguing game - more of a conflict themed euro and typically for Wallace, the game is about navigating the conflict as much or more than being a direct participant. Break that shrink!

[@BondingWithBoardGamesRPGs]

I shall endeavor. So many games on my table to review. It will have to wait a bit longer. 😀

[@alexbarney5852]

[@flaviusbelisarius3240]

Good discussion. Off topic to mention that war game book was valuable.

[@derMikester]

Howdy gents. 1) Great topic; love it, thx for posting. 2) Bit puzzled by number of relatively "old" title releases you brought up that you haven't played yet. SO I'd be curious to see a complete summary of your items mentioned re/ Publish Date vs. your specific Acquisition Date of the respective title. Cheers and thx as always. Mike.

[@BondingWithBoardGamesRPGs]

Sorry Mike I don’t track my purchase date. Usually I buy when they are brand new. If they don’t get played in a month or two they start to slide perpetually backwards as new stuff comes in.

[@janikloffel5836]

Hi HAMTAG I'm just starting a couple months ago with wargaming. My first one was "The lost phantom 1972" a easy print and play game. Then I bought "Warfighter WW2" and I just love it. "Man on iron arquebus" and "France 1914" are great games too . I like your videos alot.Just keep going. Best regards from switzerland. Janik

Field Commander Rommel is very accessible. The rulebook is really clear. You just set up the scenario and then work through the sequence of play. When you get to a new phase, you go look it up. The rulebook is laid out sequentially. I'm going to try to get it in during Barteus Con (30 games in 30 days) that I am playing right now.

[@valnarz9550]

Good video, thx for the book reference. For me it's the monster games that I've only tinkered with but never actually played like: (1) Operational combat system from the Gamers, i.e. Guderian's Blitzkrieg II + Case Blue etc. (2) World In Flames with ALL the expansions and addons (3) The old Europa system from GDW, Fire in the East + Scorched Earth +... (4) the La Bataille de {town name} system from the old Clash of Arms like Quatre Bras + Ligny + Mont Saint Jean etc. (5) Panzerblitz system with the newest upgrade Panzerblitz: Hill of Death from MMP

[@BondingWithBoardGamesRPGs]

Very nice Valnar

[@elcarto22]

Judd - thanks for the kind comments on my maps and on 'Summer Storm' in particular. A true 'labor of love' back when Ed at COA allowed me to do it, and still being played today. Mitch Land and another newer player/fan have worked together to produce a 'Primer' for SS, which, along with their reworked charts and stuff is available in the 'Summer Storm' page in ConsimWorld. I don't know if it's up on BGG yet, but will check into it.

[@juddvance7721]

Sweet. Check your BGG account, also. I posted an AAR on Gettysburg 150 with your map and had a few people writing me asking how to get that map.

[@elcarto22]

I'll go do that. I know I have a few more already assembled. Too busy making maps to be playing games these days, unfortunately!

[@scarecrow2885]

The first topic for which I could actually, and easily, come up with five games. My list of top 5 that I haven't played, but would really like to, will be depressing to most readers here, since they're all pretty much Old School. Fact is, I haven't learned a new wargame in many years. In no particular order: 1) NATO: The Next War in Europe 2) Panzerkrieg (CoSi edition) 3) Napoleon: The Waterloo Campaign, 1815 (original Gamma Two edition) 4) The African Campaign (Jedko second edition "bookcase") 5) Commands & Colors: Ancients Honorable mentions: The Fleet Series (VG), 1776 (AH), Korea '95 (Pacific Rim) Pretty sad when you can't get yourself to learn Napoleon. ;-)

Greg: Thanks a ton for mentioning Zones of Control book. It's on my Christmas list now. For those interested in the fundamentals of wargaming; its related history, etc, another great read is: "The Art of Wargaming" by Peter P. Perla et. al. hard copy I have is copyright 1990. don't know if there's been an update. Probably not a title necessarily for everyone; has a bit of a Naval bent to it if you will.

[@BondingWithBoardGamesRPGs]

I really enjoyed it as well Mike.

[@gregorycampagna8138]

[@indy_go_blue6048]

How about for a topic, "Games you really wanted to work but just didn't." I've easily got 5 of those, but my #1 is Pacific War by Mark Herman. I would totally love to be able to play the campaign game but there's too many things I just can't comprehend in the rules. Empire of the Sun is a great game, but it's not Pacific War.

[@BondingWithBoardGamesRPGs]

Wait, what did Judd say at 14:38 that was so funny? Lately he's always had a look on his face like he's about to burst out laughing, for some reason. ;-) BTW, and this has probably been mentioned by other viewers already - Judd, you've lost considerable weight over the past year, correct me if I'm wrong. You look like a different person. Well done, I wish I could do that. I'm not overly obese, but I'm at 240 at 6'2", so I could stand to lose 40 or so.

I wonder if the book ZOC is illustrated? If it is then I would prefer the hardbound book. If it is just a wall of text, then an ebook would be sufficient.

[@BondingWithBoardGamesRPGs]

Not illustrated, and I just posted a little video review of it. It nice.

[@gregschmittgens1262]

Obviously Bart and I were comparing different editions. 😊

[@philhatfield2282]

Judd, Here Come the Rebels is a very fun game! You were lucky to get it. There is also Roads to Gettysburg, same system but the Gettysburg area (and the maps join together with Here Come the Rebels). MMP is theoretically going to reprint Gettysburg and include the HCtR units. So far they have only reprinted Stonewall Jackson's Way (now with a 2). Worth picking that up, but MMP is being slow on the reprints.

[@BondingWithBoardGamesRPGs]

They also did Battle Above the Clouds. I just picked that up and Pre-ordered the Roads to Gettysburg 2...and Atlanta

[@philhatfield2282]

Yeah. Battle Above the Clouds is also fun. I own all of them in the series. I wish they would move further West and do the Shiloh area, but I am impatiently waiting for them to put out Atlanta is Ours. It's a great game system, and I have played all of them in the series.

[@turks1966]

Just wondered, how often do the three of you get to play wargames together?These are just a few of my favorites that I want to play but have yet to find the time to dive into them. This does not include any expansions if it did, I could add a bunch of ASL material. I could have probably had a list of 25-50 games if I tried. :)1. Next War Korea-GMT 2. SPQR 3rd edition-GMT 3. Devils Den-AH 4. Thunder at Casino-AH 5. Carrier-VG

[@BondingWithBoardGamesRPGs]

I don't get to play war games with them as much. Judd and I used to see each other every week and game but my work hours changed. I think Greg games almost every day of the week. He really knocks em down.

[@gregschmittgens1262]

It's not actually every day, but I have averaged six games a week for the last ten years (the time I've kept track)

[@Darthvegeta8000]

Gameboardgeek has a lot of good discussions about Great Battles of History. Simple Battles streamlines it all a bit and the rules are usable with most entries. A few that are already streamlined like Ran and Samurai are not compatible. Some people favor simple battles, others prefer the baseline to enjoy the extra chrome. If you only plan to play Alexander... just go with the core rules for the first try. If too crunchy try simple. If you're going to collect the entire series then it might be advisable to learn simple battles as that ruleset allows you to jump games easily. (a lot of minor tweaks to the rules with each entry, hence some people like to use Simple Battles for the lot of em)

[@juddvance7721]

I want to try War Galley for sure. I didn't know if SGBoH would translate to it since it is so different. SPQR has been on my radar for years. Someday, it will be mine. Oh yes...it will be mine.

[@Darthvegeta8000]

War Galley like Ran and Samurai is not compatible. For Samurai warfare I recommend Ran over Samurai due to Ran being more 'finetuned'. For Great battles of History the 2 main favourites are Alexander and SPQR with SPQR being the foundation of the series.

[@BondingWithBoardGamesRPGs]

I agree 120%. My co-host on my scotch review show pokes fun at my board game collection but he owns Zombicide and loves Lord of the Rings. He would love this game. I must teach to him from a point of mastery however...

[@omerhertz]

The gun on the cover of 'Here Come the Rebels" is the Colt Model 1855 Revolving Carbine (.56 I believe, though there were other calibres). It's a Colt, so it shot well enough, but it had a lot of problems that prevented it from catching on, not the least of which was the tendency to injure the user... Also... you have God's Playground ARGHHH! I've been dying to find it but it's so ridiculously expensive on the secondary market that I'll be a fool to try. Do let me know if you're looking to part with it sometime, though :-)

Greg Schmittgens East Wind Rain is also in my not played yet but owned category. Liked the idea of every Capital ship being represented. Heard it has some neat ideas for strategic movement and naval air combat, but also heard the rules make it more like East Wind Pain. Perused the book, and didn't think it was terribly laid out. If I remember right there is a few different scenarios.
