Re: OT - What was your first TBS/War game?
Puke, Thanks for the reminder. I forgot BOP. I iused to get very worked up and pissed at the Soviets.
"Balence of Power" by Chris Crawford,
That was great even solo. I did find a way to wind everytime.
Do Nothing
For those who don't know the game it was a cold war simulation. You could send Troops, Money, and I think Food. The other side could object. There are four exchanges. You can vary how strongly you word them. You score popularity points for each succesful exchange.
If no one backs down then you both lose as you blow up the world.
I belive Henry Kissenger gave the game high marks (as he did for the Avalon Hill board game Version of Civilisation. He required his classes at Harvard to play Civilazation.
