Those other games that I sometimes play...
« on: February 03, 2010, 06:37:13 PM »
While I have managed to get a few games of Leviathans in when I can, using War at Sea minis on Battletech maps, I also play other games as I (impatiantly) await the release of Leviathans. Games I've been playing fairly regularly or would like to play more regularly are:

Command & Colors Ancients
Conflict of Heroes
Warhammer Invasion
Wings of War (WWI and WWII versions)

So what do all my fellow airmen like to play?

I am mostly a war gamer kind of guy. I use to be just a miniatures kind of guy, but limiting yourself to just prepainted miniatures does not give you a lot of options, I opened my self up to counters and chits and I am glad I did.


Tannhauser
Axis and Allies War at Sea
Axis and Allies miniatures
Battle lore
Summoner wars
Arcane Legions
Space Hulk
Wings of War
Memoir 44 (some times)
Axis and allies
Conflict of heroes (when I have more than a few hours to play)
Great War at Sea

and soon maybe Leviathans... if not I sure will buy the fiction. Best current fiction out there. Needs to be made into a movie or anime... or a video game!  ;D

Oh oh then we can have T-shirts, coffee mugs, and stickers.

 ;D

I own a lot of the games on your list, but have a hard time finding opponents for some of them, particularly Space Hulk and A & A minis. I'm currently using the A&A naval minis as stand ins when playing Leviathans.

I play and contribute (somewhat) to BattleTech, but I've owned and/or played just about everything out there.

I am currently only playing Pathfinder. Running Curse of the Crimson Throne adventure path.
When I get that done... who knows. :)

I'm currently playing old school wargames like Steel Panthers MBT on my laptop. Haven't got around much to play some miniature games due to cost but Leviathans might change that.

I'm an old-school wargame grognard - basement full of AH, SPI, Yaquinto & other boardgames - that alas, rarely get played. I do play BT with my sons - minis on 3D hexmaps - and we play a lot of Munchkin of various types (Fu being the current favourite). I've recently picked up the Age of Conan game, which they liked on their first tryout.

BattleTech, first and foremost.
D&D, whenever I can get a stupid group up around here, or find one that isn't already a LONG WAY into a campaign.

Can we have flying tanks?

Battletech is the primary then there are about 30 others that I play when I have the urge or can get a group.

now-a-days I play Battletech and Mordheim.  I made the decision to limit what games I played otherwise I'd be spending too much money on games. :)

Proposal: we not mention Hellbie dice. First, it's a BattleTech meme. Second, we don't rely on luck here - we're masters of the etheric sea! ;D

No Hellbie dice here. When he arrives we'll have to tell him they are to be noted as something era approriate ;D

Actually, as odd as it sounds, Hellbie Dice first manifested itself in Axis & Allies, THEN Battletech. It's also made noteable appearances in Shadowrun, A&A: War At Sea, Mechwarrior: Dark Age, D&D 1st Ed., and even a particularly tragic incident during a game of Munchkin.

It knows no boundaries of games nor eras. It simply is.

Oh- hello, by the way. ;)
