Actually, you should include the latest version of THIS game as a seperate 'entry'! It plays much more 'differently' than the 'O'riginal one, including the "Gamma 2 Games, Avalon Hill, & Columbia Games" editions. Hey, just LOOK at ALL of the many 'versions' of "M-opoly" that are out there, but they basically 'play the same way', huh? At least with the "New & Improved" 'Napoleon' game, there ARE significant advancements to warrant having THEM pointed out in it's very OWN 'submission'!

dude, your posts are unreadable, do you actually talk like that?

Though Robert uses a unique writing style, he has a good point. This game has a 2nd and 3rd edition which are both very different; list them both

I have the old Avalon Hill version. Fun game indeed!

I thought this was about that little jeans guy.

CJ, That's Buddy Lee . . . show some respect now ya' hear ?!

There was a lot of buzz about this before it was published, but I haven't noticed much since it was published. Maybe I just haven't been paying attention...

How can a game that has not yet been published be on a "Definite List"?

Because it WILL be published. If it goes the way of Island of the Mighty I'll delete it.

Shame about the Island of the Mighty

It's probably the Mario Cumo of the Boardgame World.

I have to agree. It had promise.

Yep, I have to add my own sense of loss about Island of the Mighty. That sounded like a very promising game.

I've preordered Crusader Rex, which will be shipping in August.

Noel,
I have this game. Great fun. There are possible tweakings ahead to make play of the Franks easier. But for now, this is a good one!

I have had this game for a couple of weeks, and it is the only block game I have played since I played Waterloo in the time that land forgot, or vice versa. I have found it to be a most enjoyable game. Experience will tell whether or not I feel it is a realistic portrayal of the Eastern Front (but at least it is not a Ty Bomba disaster flick disguising itself as a game). I am curious about Europe Engulfed (the next one or your list), and its portrayal of the Eastern Front, and I wonder how long it will be before the devoted fans of EastFront and Europe Engulfed begin to go at each other, as they seem to do on every list (give it a rest boys, it's only a game ).

Whoops! I see that Europe Engulfed is not the next one on your list. Is it even on your list?! I will have to see, but first, let's clean those glasses.

I have played two tension-filled scenarios, namely, Kursk '43 and Stalingrad. They were exciting affairs with crisises every other turn!

Finally ive all the series....now i must convince my friends to play it!
Thats the most difficult part!
Real men play campaign game....but campaign games in monster games, if not its too easy!

Every couple of months or so, this one tempts me. But then I wake up and decide that I don't have the space, time or (really) the money. I'll just stick with EE for 'the big picture', at least until next month when I start thinking about it, again.

The entire Front series is now being reimagined as three sets, with an Eastfront II, Westfront II and Eurofront II. This actually may push me over from iffy to definite purchase.

Just picked this one up about a week ago. I decided to purchase it on the high ratings and positive comments here on BGG. I haven't has a chance to play it yet but I have read through the rules and am pretty excited about giving it a try. It look to be better than Napoleon and Bobby Lee, the other block games I've played in the past. I wasn't too thrilled with those. Although, a group of us did play Napoleon as a campaign game using the Eagles card game to resolve the battles and that was a lot of fun!

I picked this up recently too, love it. I've been playing it like crazy.

I am in a Thucydides phase right now. I can't wait to play the arrogant Athenians and kick the piss out of the Spartan League at Syracuse!

No irony intended. I was looking forward to changing history. I can't believe there won't be an invasion of Syracusa in my future.

As much as I am interested in this war, I can't get this one. I love the 1991 version of this war too much!

Still unpublished...

A name change and a new publisher. Let's hope to see this one soon.

I have this one too. We player with a lower point threshold for a British victory and with that, we have a really good time!

The real gem hidden in this is the Spanish Civil War, which takes only a short time to set up and plays in under two hours.

This one is on my short list of games to buy. I really want this one bad!!!

Great, Great, Great !!!! The Best!!
Saludos from Hot Spain:

This is a fun game. If you are on the line about purchasing it, I say go for it.

I'd like to purchase or trade for this one, but can't really find it!
ack!

Doug

You can order it from GMT.

IIRC, this was the first wooden block game. It was published by Gamma Two Games of Vancouver, BC in, I think, 1973. By the standards of the time, it seemed ridiculously simple and lacking in realism. I loved it.

When Quebec 1759 came out, I never could have imagined having so much fun with it. We played it over an over and it never became predictable.

And soon to be back in print.

And just as soon as it comes back in print, it will be sitting on my shelf!

I hope columbia makes the new rulebook available for download. I have the original and the included "errata" sheet is as long as the rulebook!

RitD one of the best games I've played. You want tension? This is the place to find it!

This is currently half price on Columbia's website!

THIS...isn't so much a 'Game' in it's OWN right, but more like an 'Expansion' for the "East Front" one. In fact, you don't even 'get' ANY "wooden blocks" with this(at least the LAST time that I had bought it, there weren't ANY!) and for WHAT they 'command' for the PRICE!?!...well, let's just say that if I had SPENT as much on a 'date with Miss Panda' as was/is being PAID for this, then I'd expect much MORE than a "cup of Coffee and companionship"(jk!)(NOT really)

Reading it as the Chamberlain from Dark Crystal is magnificent! You have improved my BGG experience.

What's the name of the bug-eyed commedine who always acts like he's constipated? Those posts read like that guy's act.

Robert "Bobcat" Goldthwait is his name. I'm pretty sure he has some kind of disorder.

This expansion has been merged with EastFront in EastFront II.

This is too good a game to pass without comment. Simple rules, but fascinating gameplay.

I like the maps of the Front games.

The only block game my wife will play with me besides Crusader Rex!
