A bit late, but I played some Cuba Libre with some people on #boardgoons, and it was very very good. I'm still new at card-driven games, and they are certainly on the heavier end of the spectrum for games I've played in general (having just gotten my feet wet with Twilight Struggle). All in all, good fun. Played the 26th faction, kidnapping people and raising terror. Had no idea what I was doing, but still a very enjoyable experience with a very compelling amount of depth. If it were only 2 player (not the modified 2 player in the book) with just 2 of the factions, I could see it being a little lighter than Twilight Struggle; with 4 people you have to pay attention to so much (not a bad thing).

There was Divine Right, some old wargame based on a D&D campaign iirc, but it's long out of print, and I'm not really sure how good of a game is due to its age.

I just realized I have a wargame...that means I can clip the counters.

What's everyone's thoughts on how World At War has aged? I'm thinking about pulling the trigger and getting some grand strategic games soon, most likely TK, but keeping that option open for later.

I haven't had the chance to play any real grognardy war games, but with the traditional hex and counter games, how is die rolling for combat handled? Will bad luck ruin your day or are there a lot of ways to mitigate it?

Hey finally going to be trying out Fire in the Lake for the first time tomorrow; any particular factions certain types of players should play? How does each one feel over the course of the game? (All I've played is the tutorial in the manual).

Well, so far I'm still having trouble actually implementing how ASL Starter Kit 1 actually works. After studying the book and reviewing some tutorials my mind starts to seize as I put the counters to paper. Any other particularly well done lets plays or anything along those lines?

What are the really good card driven wargames (outside of like twilight struggle and coin). Any really good ones with more than 2 players?

What's pax romana like? The reviews I briefly glanced at suggested kinda randomized with gotcha events

StashAugustine posted:This is kind of how I feel about Churchill, I don't think it quite has the mechanical tightness of your Twilight Struggles and Empire of the Suns but it's not bad and it's certainly quite unique. I hope more people expand on the concept- I think Herman said he was working on a Peloponnesian War game along the same lines. I would buy that

Hey so in 1830, something I'm confused on. Can you start a train run from any space, not necessarily a space that is your own station?

Hmm okay that sounds more daunting. Hey for wargames with a crt, is there a certain formula or strategy to them, like you would generally expect a certain odds to be reflected? I'm working on a game but I have no idea how to resolve combat, and anything I've thought about seems too gamey for the scope.

StashAugustine posted:Avalon Hill games generally assume that 3-1 in the attacker's favor is where you should start expecting to win, if that's what you're asking about. Okay up that's what I wanted to know. How much does terrain or whatever influence those types of calculations? Move it a step or two up?

Ah interesting. Do designers try to go for something that would produce historical results or just something that works for the game?
