Squad Leader....
It’s still published as Advanced Squad Leader.
PanzerBlitz/Leader. PanzerGruppe Guidarian. And don’t forget the 9 mapper War in Europe!
Best board GAME ever. Avalon Hill’s Battle of the Bulge 1965. Not good history, but, a blast to play.
There is still a large wargaming community out there!
Yeah. Panzer Blitz back in the 70’s. Squad Leader. I recently played the first 3 Squad Leader scenarios with Rolf - The Guards Counterattack, The Tractor Works, and the Streets of Stalingrad. It was very intense. The poignant part? It was probably the last time I will ever play Squad Leader.
Guys, it is so great - I spend time with the boys, hootin and hollerin. My wife is thrilled with my new hobby that has nothing to do with guns, liquor, or bad women.
Ah yes, Squad Leader, the orginal, I still have mine. I had about 200 Avalon Hill and other war games at one time.
We played Third Reich, Arab/Israeli War, PanzerLeader and PanzerBlitz in college.
The games are similar but much different in terms of complexity. SL got bogged down by its rules but ASL is hands-down the best wargame I've ever played.
