The foundation of all non-military produced board wargames produced for the last 71 years. It did play rather counterintuitively I once defeated by opponent by nuking his occupying forces in 5 of my own cities. A copy now resides in the Smithsonian.

Without games like Tactics I and Tactics II, Battle of the Bulge, D-Day, Midway, etc. the hobby would never have grown into the multi-million dollar industry it is today. In reading your review I am led to believe that there are several large orifices in your sky-piece from whence it issued forth, and it would be better if you glued them up and spoke through something else. Where the fuck do you people come from? Anyhow, in response to Larry Marak: I have a lot of fond memories of this game. I made my own Europe campaign map using cardboard, a ruler, a pencil, scissors, glue, and some of that big rolling paper. | ||

I'm not familiar with this game, but I assume you roll dice to dictate movement and dictate attack powers or whatever. So instead of that, you can change the units to always have 1 or 2 movement ranges, and 1 or 2 attack power/ranges. Then you can flip a coin or roll dice for odds/evens and then make a selection of best or lesser depending on if you got max roll. And then you could introduce additional advantages that are actually more strategic like how Vandal Hearts PS1 video game did. Archers hard counter air guys, attacks from behind them did more, dragoons crushed archers, flyers moved crazy far and rekt dragoons, uphill gave more range, etc. | ||
