Ironclads and its expansion fall in that category. I played them a lot at one time, but how haven't touched them in years.

Having just purchased my first block games (Crusader Rex and Hellenes), I think it's an appropriate moment to join the group! Looking forward to lots of block gaming goodness....once I've applied all of the stickers to the blocks that is!
Discussion of block wargames from GMT, Columbia Games, Worthington Games, Simmons Games and others.
I just got Julius Caesar from Columbia. It looks good and I think the game is an upgrade from the previous game components. Columbia started upgrading components with the Hammer reprint & Richard III. This game goes a step further.

Folks,
It is only two weeks until we will gather for the 7th Block Party. It will be a great weekend of gaming. We have demos, tournaments and a FREE game for every attendee. I hope that you will be able to join in the fun.
Tournaments in 1960: Ma…
Commands and Colors Nappy style! Thats what Im looking forward to.
Ric, I think CG got some good games waiting to be published. Except from Shilo and Shenandoah, I hope that the Borodino game by Carl Wilner will be published.
Am learning Crusader Rex to play on VASSAL. Just made a Chinese New Year's resolution to get games on the table instead of using them for closet ballast. VASSAL eliminates bemoaning the lack of f-to-f opponents.
Here is a list of some of the Block Games that I know are in development. Sturm Europa (WWII ETO also is Card Driven from Academy Games), The Eagle & The Star (Poland vs USSR in 1920 from Academy Games), FAB: Sicily (GMT) Commands & Colors: Napoleon…

Empress Augusta Bay scenario/session using War at Sea
From several posts on my blog at http://pawnderings.blogspot.com and cross posted from Boardgame Geek:
It's possible to closely match the order of battle for this evenly matched battle of Nov. 2, 1943, using War at Sea ships. Darkness rules should be used.
The US Order of battle is pretty easy.
Four Clevelands (Cleveland, Columbia, Denver and Montpelier, 16 each)
Eight Fletchers and/or Hoels and/or Kidds (Charles Ausburne, Dyson, Stanly, Claxton,… Continue

Well, I’ve seen plenty of real kids not being able to take 4 from 10 correctly at 15 years old. And the same having the attention span of inch worm. It’s not fantasy it’s very real.
