OT : Your Wargame Memory

[Thermodyne]

I didn't think Risk would count

I think we all must have played that game

And what about Battle Ship? Would it count too?

[mac5732]

I'm not sure about battleship?? I guess we could count it, so ya, why not. Also it appears that everyone or most everyone has played Risk and Chess.. That in itself is interesting at least to me.

ps. ah Dave, I'm afraid a Kyle clone wasn't in the winner's setup, however, as a consolataion prize I guess we could set the winner up with a dinner party with Barry the T-Rex or ... Gasp.... Have "The Gryphin" explain the ins and outs of Circle the Wagons and "The Gryphin" position but I don't know if one's heart could stand the exposure to that kind of excitment

1. Risk. Actually still play this from time to time.
2. Hitlers war.
3. Star fleet battles. Great game
4. Federation and Empire
5. Chess. But it always flustered me.
6. A game I think was called Waterloo.

I may have to dust a few of these games off. It seems the older I get the less time you have for the pleasures of life.
