Looks like fun. We had AH's Third Reich, back in the day, which was a more sprawling, strategic take on the whole of the European/ North African theaters of war. It was very playable, and kept us engaged, one snowy winter in the mid 1970s. Thanks for the play thru! Took me back to simpler times.
Dang, I could never find players for Third Reich. Solitaire was too much work. Up Front was the most played. Panzer Blitz and Panzer Leader are special to me for being my first wargames.
P.S. I used to be a dedicated OGRE and GEV gamer in the 80s, we used to play those two games like mad all the time. I was a big fan of minigames as well. Some used to come in a ziplock bag, etc. Easy to set up and play anywhere, fast. Also ILLUMINATI.
Some of the games I see these days at Barnes and Noble are just plain LAME. Who wants to really play "WWII in 30 min." or whatever? Not me. Axis and Allies at least are good games, but they often take a lot of people to play and setup time is absurd. All of these AH games were fantastic years ago. Squad Leader is a great one too, and the Cross Of Iron addition was great too. I once owned War At Sea which was a pretty good game. I notice these days there are better WWII sim. games coming out by any companies besides anything mainstream. Some great Battle of the Bulge games and such but you won't find them in stores. Same with RPG, just buy them online cause the stores usually suck now. Then again it's hard to find dedicated hobby and gaming stores nowadays. I don't have any gaming pals anymore, alas. I did back in the 80s. I bought Star Wars XWING but again, don't know anybody that's into it.
@@raymondgruben1745 I saw there are even like 5 games alone dedicated to the Scots Rebellion campaigns etc.! Good games, too. All tiny indie companies.
@@Pozer714 They need to relicense some of the key AH games beyond Axis and Allies (which wasn't even an orig. AH game) and market them out there. Such as Starship Troopers, Panzer Leader, and Squad Leader.

Hey thanks Raymond for this nicely done After Action Report. I really appreciate your efforts !!
I've had this game for about a decade now and never played it, appreciate you doing this! So many unsung heroes second world war, both sides.
Nice game play video.
The AH wargames are a real treat to see again. Like many, I have fond memories of PL, PB Russian Campaign and others.
Cheers!
Very cool

Yes. I have played many a Third Reich game.

There are some interesting new war games availability through internet sellers.

Yeah, AH had some good ones, that's where it all started for me, "Richthofen's War" I think was my first 1979.
