My old man has it, actually. I've considered giving it a read a few times, but it always seems a bit daunting for the short times I usually end up visiting for. One of these days I'll actually look it over in depth and decide if it's something worth investing in; I think I'm relegated to solo games for the time being, because the first attempt at introducing the girlfriend to Axis & Allies was a bit less than fruitful, so I know I won't be getting as far as the gems like Richtofen's War or Blitzkrieg... My poor Avalon Hill collection...
On a side note, the last few times I've been home, dad and I have had a blast with Memoir '44 and its expansions. It's not very deep as far as traditional "war games" go, but it's great to sit down with for an afternoon. The plus is that you can fit several games into one sitting, so I just think of it as more of a 'diet' version, but it still has plenty of room for tactical shenanigans on the battlefield scale!
