War in Europe

[Outlaw Josey Wales]

If I had the 60 bucks, I'd give it a go. It will have to be sometime in the future. My birthday is next month, but I am also looking for somoe new books to read.

Of course, it would be cool to get the game and enough players for a great team game. It screams for it. I once saw the War in the West setup once at a place called The Armadillo Soldier Shop, which no longer exists. They had the maps mounted on either a large piece of plywood or sheet metal and it was leaned against one wall in the large game room area next to the store area. They owned both, it was a nice setup. I can't remember what was used for the map mounting, but they were using either the magnets or clay to hold the pieces on the map. It was a large team game. I also once saw War in the Pacific setup in a guy's house, actually three, one in each of the two spare bedrooms and the other in the den between them. They had worked out a way for the two teams in each bedroom would make their plans and record their mooves while the den had the battle area with an umpire to read all the moves (they were written on small pieces of paper and tossed in a bucket and then stirred up) in a random manner so that what happened many times with no two moves happening back to back in the same area. It was pretty cool, but very time consuming and I was only there for the one day observing. I have no idea how far they went, but the day I was there was late 1942/early 1943.
