GDW: WWIII

A correspondence chess partner just emailed me this site(s), asking if these were the wargames I mentioned and recommended in a recent disucssion we had on old tabletops and wargames. They were!

Boy, these games were ma favourites of all wargames I had, they did such a good compromise between complexity, playability and detail: not oo much, and not too little, just about right to handle it.

I did not know that they are so much sought for, and that so many people seem to agree how great this series was in the genre. There were bigger monstre games, yes, but only att he price of making running the game a really painful affair. VG's Gulf Strike and Aegean Strike has more tables than even a masochist can find pleasant to handle.

My other favourite from that time was VG's 2nd Fleet. I also liked GDW's Assault series.

I still have all that stuff, and some other cosims as well! And no, I do not sell them, so do not even ask.
