'The General'
if there are any old lags like myself who have fond memories of Avalon Hill and it's magazine 'The General' I have just found a website which has ALL the 'General' issues on disk for £3.99. I have ordered it even if just to read some of the great games they published, I still have some
Anyone interested let me know If they want the address. It is in the UK gavain2 |
Thanks
Gavain2,
I would be very interested in ordering four of these. War at Sea, Victory in the Pacific, and many more Avalon Hill games are in my 'bookshelf' right now. In the 80's The General carried many AH game 'variants' that are very difficult to obtain today. Thank you very much for this info. |
Good news! Of course I remember 'The General'. I've been playing tabletop and board wargames since 1977. :sunny:

I still have most of my old issues of the General from between 1978 and 1992. :cool: Even though I no longer play the games I still find the historical information useful.

Yep, I remember those. Still have some of them. |
:oWow, you're going waaaay back. I used to play those in the early 70s. I had Squad Leader, Panzer Blitz and Panzer Leader:

Not sure if he has individual issues but look here: www.tonysbooks.com or products@tonysbooks.com As I said you can order a complete set for £3.99. I don't know where you are but I am sure you can buy these on the set! glad it helped someone. I still play many boardgames also. If you want a solitaire U-Boat game look on 'boardgamegeek' at 'U-Boat Leader' by DAn Verssen. very good game! I have 4 of his. Any other info on his games I have let me know if you want some gavain2 |
Is there a direct link to buy the disc. The price is great! :rock:
[edit] Never mind. I found a US source for a great price. :sunny: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from...All-Categories |

Very fond memories of AH games from back in the 70's. :yep:
|
Only war games I played in the early 70's I guess was picking up a stick and calling it a gun..bang bang....Kid's back then had to be creative.

Shouldn't this thread actually be in the General Topics forum, instead of Silent Hunter 4?
