Good games. Maps look most excellent in the book. Great Haul!
Thanks for featuring my games. Love what you did to the Civil War game!
Thanks, i really enjoy your games and I spend a bit of time how I could play and use them the best way for me. I’ve seen some great ideas from others but they were mostly how if my artistic talent so to speak. I was very happy with what i came up with
@@privatewill68 I tend to play them straight in the book having stuck the counters to card. I’d love to be able to offer a spiral bound book but Amazon publishing don’t offer it. I know a lot of people cut the pages out (or buy the download version from Wargame Vault) and take them to a printer to have them spiral bound. Cheers.
subbed really great videos !
Thank you for watching and the sub. I really had a lot of fun making the Gettysburg video. I am now wondering how I can top them 😀
I would love to see a play through of the first learning mission (sub combat). I love the way the game broke up the main combat types within the first four missions. Just harder to find those who like games like this nowadays, and it’s why I have mainly switched to solo wargames
Thank you for watching and yes it’s more difficult now to find people interested in these type of games. I also mostly play by myself now. Some games are more difficult to setup for video because my space is very limited
It's a comment for the RUclips algorhythm. Have a nice day, Private!
thank you
I never heard of the game until I found it laying in a outside dumpster. Complete and all. Box everything. I still have ot sitting in my closet. I have to say it was a gold find. But I do not often look in dumpsters though.
thanks for watching, that is one lucky find I must say
I bought this two decades ago, never played it, have no rules and missed some stuff, so this was very helpful.
Thank you for watching. I think the rules you could probably get a copy online, the missing pieces that is a bit more tricky
I bought this one when it first came out and had a couple of good plays with it.
@@Socialdogma thanks for watching, it’s still fun to play of course games are so much more well designed now but the nostalgia is there for sure
I still have this game too, But mine has a dice for the anti tank guns and my tanks are either dark grey or tan, but both sides are the same models. The German types, just like your tan ones. I can not recall the tank shaped cardboard things you showed....probably they were just straight. But as this game is still in my parental home I can not check it right now. This version I own was bought in The Netherlands.
@@dutchgamer-m9x thank you for watching. Others have mention they also had dice, really never heard of that I always believed it was just the spinner
I had this game with the dice and had the green and tan panthers too. A lot of the contents was different as well. The box illustration was also different, I think mine was an older version. I bought in in the mid 1970s when I was in my early 20s. It was very addictive and my friends and me would play it for hours!
Wish you also a good and until next time!
@@slowianprzyja thank you
👍
Wow. "Tank Battle"... my FIRST "wargame". I got it for Dec 6 (a Christmas holiday in Germany... my mom is German) in 1975 I think. That dark evening in a distant time and place, I was sitting at the dinner table and the doorbell rang. My mom said, "Oh! That must be Nicolaus! Go see at the door!" I ran to the door and swung it wide open as the snow in the doorway blew in. At my feet were 4 board games. One of them was Tank Battle. Another was "Carrier Strike". And another was "Lost Gold". I THINK the last one was Uncle Wiggly. Before I closed the door, I shouted into the wintery night: "Thank you Nicolaus!" Of course, it had been my dad coming home a bit early from work who hopped back in his car and zipped off after the delivery. Thanks papa. Miss you.
Beautiful story. I'm trying to create those memories for my kids now. It isn't easy with modern "stuff" but your comment inspires me.
Yes Times are very different than they use to be. I was born in the late 60’s and grew up in the 70’s, things were just simpler back in those days, not just for kids but everyone I think
Thanks for the review. Too bad there were no rules for infantry!
@@RobertWF42 thank you for watching. Yeah this was 9 years or so before we got Axis & Allies it was just a tank base game
Thanks for posting, my game had a dice for the antitank guns, 5 sides with a single black dot which were for a miss, and one side with a single red dot to show the anti tank gun had destroyed your tank.
@@grahamlloyd7157 really? I never knew about such version. I always believed that it was just the spinner. That is very interesting, I would really like to own such a copy
@@privatewill68 Mine has a dice as well. The tanks in my game are both the German versions either in dark grey or in tan. And I do not recall the tank shaped cardboard things...they probably were just straight things. I still have this game in very good condition but I can not check the shape of these cardboard things as the game is still at my parental home. My version was bought in The Netherlands.
The precursor to "World of Tanks".... When I went through basic, at Fort Knox (circa1998) I saw a few of these games laying about in the barracks. Pretty cool. Thanks for explaining it.
Thank you for watching, fun game to play back in the days
Yep, got it as a Christmas present. Played it with mt brother and friends
This was a great game. My brother in law game it to me for Christmas.
@@docmatteson2010 thanks fir the comment. We used to have so much fun with this when I was a kid
Wow, seems like a decent, simple but thought out game! Ill see if i can get my hands on a set, as i assume this game doesnt get produced anymore ;)
@@ijsbeermeneer9952 thank you for watching. No unfortunately this game is long out of print. But you can find good ones for sale on the Internet that still look pretty good
I had that too. Used to set it up next to my Guns of Navarone set from the Sears Wishbook.
Thank you for watching. Yes I also spend many hours dreaming while watching the Sears Christmas catalogue
Very cool, I had this as well as a kid.👍
Thanks for the view, it was a truly fun game
What was the game with the plastic overlay with the helicopters and planes called?
Chopper Strike?
yes it was Chopper Strike
@@joew426 Thanks! THAT is the one. When I saw the Tank game, THIS was what I had in the back of my mind.
@@privatewill68 Thanks as well. You gave me a good thought for the day, and took me back for a few minutes of a good memory time.
I played the hell out of Chopper Strike until I got introduced to hex and chit wargames.
Hi! I am 62. We never had this one. Do want to come and play Medal of Honor with me?
thanks for watching, I am located in a small town, I usually have to play solo
@@privatewill68 Well, it's a free, online video game. Do you have a PC and Internet?
Spamscheiße
OMG I had this as a kid. After a while I didn’t play the game just played with the tanks as toy soldiers
thanks for watching, I think we all did that 😀
👍
Thanks for watching, it was such a blast to play this game as a kid
Keep it up. Things get better over time. Cheers from Japan.
Thank you for the view, I am very happy these Gettysburg video did very well on views, not sure now how I can top it 😀
jeff from @hex2hex sent me over here to subscribe
@@WARdROBEPlaysWWII thank you for joining. I’ve been following his channel for a while. I am learning and improving. I hope you enjoy my content
Good job Will.
Thank you, I am learning 😀 I am doing this for fun but still want to improve
@@Hex2Hex I am also looking forward to watching your play through of the game Sparta
OK. 1988. That was a different edition to the one I played. I played it in the late '60's. .
Thank you for watching. There are multiple version of this game, 1958, 1964, 1977 and 1988. I think there was one in the only 70’s
I, too, have often wondered what would have happened in the World Wars if we had remained two separate nations.
thanks for watching. Yes it would have been a very different world, quite possibly the two different Americas would have kept fighting each other over and over as alliances and treaties would have pull them into different wars. It can be a bit scary to think just how different the world would have been
👍👍 afternoon.
Do you know the channel KilroyWasHere? He just did a good video on Worthington's new Gettysburg game which I have played the day One scenario. Very excellent in my opinion.
@@charleslatora5750 yes I follow his channel but that’s with my other personal account
Is ACW your favorite subject or are there other historical periods where you're interested in gaming?
@@charleslatora5750 my favourite games usually are in the time frame 1600-1899. Yes more than 70% of my games are ACW it’s my favourite historical subject. I also enjoy squad level games from WWII and Cold War naval warfare ganes
👍 subbed. I will share your channel name with some of my more deeply enthusiastic ACW gamers.
@@charleslatora5750 thanks that is very nice. I started this for fun and to also showcase certain games that are not mention very often. I am an old gamer and I have very few new games
Difficult to hear you and difficult to discern what you are saying. Are you experiencing breathing difficulties?
@@lonestarbug thank you for the comment, very appreciated. I do have the bad habit of speaking softly by nature. Been trying to train myself to speak louder. The breathing that one is a bit more tricky. Yes I do have a breathing problem. I won’t bother you with the detail but I am trying to work on that. I also made of few mistakes which made me nervous and that did not help my breathing. I will be working on improving these with more practice. Thank you for the feedback and for watching.
@@privatewill68 I hope that your health improves soon and keep the good work coming! Greetings to you from Texas.
great game, many enjoyable hours
Thank you for leaving a comment. Yes it’s a very fun game, simple but offers quite a few options to make it more complexe
