6) Axis and Allies

To add to the list a little, the Game I had the most fun playing was Jane’s Fleet Command. It’s a shame that it just won’t run on NT OS’s. I also enjoyed Panzer Commander a lot.

1. Lord, its hard to remember. The first actual real published wargame i ever played may have been Battletech, but previous to that we would always make up rules for how legos, star-wars action figures, or war vehicles built from dominos could kill each other. we even used measuring tapes and dice.
