Cleaned out my dads closet and found some 3M bookshelf games, Feudal in particular. Played with a friend, got interested in the whole genre, went to boardgamegeek. Now, I have Hearts of Iron 3, but it seems inpenetrably complicated, and I want something to ease me in. Would buying a classic like Tactics 2 be a good bet for a beginner? It looks like the most "traditional" wargame possible.

http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1563/rise-and-decline-of-the-third-reich Found this at a Half-Price Books for $20, looks like everything's there. Never done a wargame before, but I might eventually convince a few friends to come over and sperg out with me; is this a good one to start with? Looks like it won a bunch of awards or whatever.

I picked up Afrika Korps at a Half-Price Books and sat down to learn it tonight. I was always intimidated by hex-and-counter wargames, they looked ridiculously complicated, with a bunch of numbers on squares and me thinking "Ok there's gonna be a shitload of tables and countercharts etc"; coming from RTS games on PC. Turns out it's just an attack number, defense number, movement number, and viola, hex-and-counter boardgames are Advance Wars: Unplugged. This one's a 2 on the AH scale and took me maybe 15 minutes of reading and sorting pieces and I was in. I'm thinking of buying 1776 or Gettysburg, something a little more complex, but single-player. Any suggestions for, like, the "core" experience? Like "the game everyone has played" or whatever?

I guess MP games that can be played SP is better, I have 1 or 2 friends I might be able to convince to pay at some point.

Just found Rise and Decline of the Third Reich at a used bookstore! It's my first real wargame; I've played some Afrika Korps before but that's it. I'm thinking of learning how to play by starting a thread about it in Lets Play, maybe asking the thread to "be" the other player. Is that a thing, has that been done?
