Strategy & Tactics
--
I finally made it to The Compleat Strategist store. Very nice! The had a yard or so of Star Fleet Battles material-- they even had the latest module displayed out front-- but I didn't see any Car Wars or Battletech stuff.
They also had two huge shelves full of wargames. They all ran from 30 to 50 dollars or so, and not knowing the duds from the good ones, I didn't buy any of them. The clerk was polite, but not very helpful-- he was a "new breed" gamer that only knew about goofy rpg type stuff. Oh well. I was hoping to meet a Games Guru there....
I did pick up the latest issue of Strategy and Tactics. Great magazine!! The current issue covers German tactics at the end of WW1, Egypt after Napolean left, and Japan's invasion of Korea in the 1590's. It came with a complete game, 1918, which covers Germany's last push into France and Belgium in WWI. The rules are very interesting. They are only slightly more complex than Steve Jackson's G.E.V., but they address things that aren't often covered in the sci-fi games I've played.
