Against the Odds
Anyone played any of the games that this magazine/game publisher puts out. This one on Berlin has gotten good reviews and looks interesting:

Each magazine comes with a game that typically focuses on some military situation with long odds. They are well packaged (saw them at my local hobby shop) and come with a box for the pieces. Counter and map quality is supposed to be high.

Schreck:
Here's a review with pictures of some of the components and a discussion of an expansion for the game. http://www.wfhgs.com/PDFFILES/WO11.PDF It requires Adobe -- if you don't have that, let me know, and i'll try to get an html version. Kharkov |

I'd love to get back into tabletop gaming but I know of no one in my area who does. I know Panther does but he still hasn't found a way of getting me over to his house for dinner in the past 3 monthes as a way of making up for missing out on a concert that I paid for as his b-day present. So actually putting together time to do more than just counter sorting with him might be next to impossible.
I would love to get a subscription to this mag, but I fear that the games would just end up taking up space in my house as I don't do solitaire very well. I just can't seem to forget what I was planning on doing as the "other guys" enough to play fair.

Some board games nowadays have internet add-ons (like Aide De Camp) which help you play via e-mail. I'm not sure how they work, but it's on my list of things to check out.
With TeamSpeak and the honor system, you could actually play board games. With a dicerolling utility that two people could share, it would be even better. I've been toying around with this idea since I too would love to play some of these games -- this Berlin game for example looks awesome, and something like Russian Front would be a great KG type game to play. |

Here is information from the makers of Aide De Camp 2 (a computer program designed to let you play by e-mail)
http://www.hpssims.com/pages/product...ADC2-Main.html Some games require you to buy ADC2 and then they give you the data to populate it. Others like Russian Campaign, come with a limited ADC2 specifically designed for the game: http://www.l2designgroup.com/TheRuss...ignInfopg.html Here's a summary of ADC2 and a competing product that I found on a chat board: Quote:
