A definite blast from the past. I remember playing that game ages ago. I'm so dating my age.

Back when I was a youth, we didn't have any fancy ass computers ! We had hexagons and cardboard chits for OUR wargames ! We had CRT's (Combat resolution tables), TEC's (Terain Effect Charts), and hundreds of other charts and mathematical formulas that we had to actually pen, paper, and calculator figure out ourselves !! Heck !! Gulf Strike takes about 30 minutes to an hour just for ONE TURN !! Not to mention it's 70 page rulebook and it's 25 page chart book. (but it's one heck of a great game ! )
