RE: 8 Avalon Hill Board Games That Deserve New Life
Panzerblitz, Panzer Leader were 2 of my favorites. Always will be!

But who could forget AH's Blitzkrieg with its hundreds of counters, AH's Fortress Europa with the dash across France and a choice of 8 separate landing areas in France or AH's The Russian Campaign with its double movement phase, bad weather and supply problems. Man these were all great games!!

Then there is the Europa Series with its individual mega game East Front! Needed 2 ping pong tables to set that baby up!

Another game I found myself going back to a lot was SPI's Red Star-White Star Armored Warfare in the '70's.

Finally, ASL with its 3" thick rule book, great geomorphic map boards and thousands of counters simulating battle on the squad/individual vehicle level and at least one yearly convention where hundreds of ASL maniacs would show up to play a weekend through.

If they could get some of these on the computer venue today I'd be in 7th Heaven!
