I woke up this morning with a hankering for some east front WW II tactical action and that is an itch I cannot scratch. I was also surprised to find out that my April A-Z Challenge endurance netted me another award, we'll think of this one as a campaign ribbon.
The closest I can come to my WW II action desire right now is to break out my Up Front game and hope that either my wife or my youngest daughter will take pity on me and play. Every other World War 2 game has been somehow eliminated from my collection, with the sole exception of my PC-DOS version of Panzer General, which is kind of a pain in the ass to play on my system since it was built after 1995.
What I really want is a board game or a miniature game anyway. Perhaps I'll just torment the family with a WW II movie instead; I haven't seen Cross of Iron in a while.
Steel Panthers WAW is an old favorites--and it has the added advantage of being a free download from Matrix Games.
ReplyDeleteFunny, I just watched Cross of Iron a few days ago (for the umpteenth time). One of my favorite WWII movies ever.
ReplyDeleteI tried Steel Panthers WAW and it kept crashing on me. I just read some interesting things about Cross of Iron earlier today while I was image searching for a cool image from the movie; apparently, despite critical acclaim (or maybe because of it), it didn't do as well as expected at the box office and it was Sam Peckinpah's only war film.
