I grew up on board games. Starting with Tactics II and then to Blitzkreig. (to digress, became a pretty good chess player...USCF-rated "B" class amateur and many trophys). Board games KICK ***!

Having said that...the dilemma was always this...

For example, one of my favorite games was TSS (Terrible Swift Sword) by Superior Simulations. It had hundreds of counters reflecting the actual units that were at Gettysburg. Three maps that had to be layed out. Needless to say (and to make this short), it couldn't be played in a day. The problem was that a room had to be dedicated to its setup. And this is what I think has led (a bit) to the demise of the board games...it's much easier to do the same thing on a computer and just file the game away.

OK, I'm done rambling..hehe.
