OT: Favourite Boardgames

[jimkehn]

Two series I have immensely enjoyed were the Europa series by first GDW, and then later, GRD. Never play them anymore. The other was The Gamer's Operational Campaigns Series. Never play them either but I still have them.

Kindel, I also played a lot of SL, but not ASL. Also played some Gunslinger. THAT was a great game. There is an electronic version somewhere, that is very true graphically to the original. I just cant remember who had it. I dont think it was ADC. Maybe a google will reveal it.

OK...here is the url.... http://cryhavocgames.net/Gunslinger.htm. This is a module for an Aide de Camp style electronic board gaming software. There is also a mod here for another program of this genre called Vassal. This looks very good and I had both versions on an older computer

Hello jimkehn:

That’s definitely very interesting with the Gunslinger engine. It does look very familiar to that of the VASL, in fact the first sentence on the VASL website says: “VASL is the adaptation of the VASSAL engine to the ASL game system” http://www.vasl.org/ So I suspect the same designers may have worked on both versions maybe.

But it’s good, I’m very familiar with the vassal engine (as far as VASL) so I’m sure it would work very well for Gunslinger, or other similar games of that genre which use geomorphic boards such as Firefight, MBT, others I can’t think of right off-hand (Panzerblitz/Panzerleader).
