SPI Games I So Much Wanted To Love (But Didn't)

Okay, as much as a fan of SPI games as many of us have been since we were members of the "Young Grognards"--er--"Young Guard," we had our share of titles that just didn't cut it.  Oh, we were so excited when it showed up inside issues of Strategy and Tactics or when we ripped open boxes delivered by UPS after anxiously awaiting our mail order.  The shine wore off when we played them--some it wore off nearly immediately, others it took repeated playings before it did.

What were/are those games you so desperately wanted to love, but just couldn't?

My friend and I actually played Armada back in the day. I was England and got slaughtered. I always lumped this game and Conquistador together - another game I wanted to love but couldn't
