Had the Eastern Front version, Panzer Blitz, back when games required you to roll dice for anything to happen..Originally Posted by kwb377
That is always what I think "RPG" means.
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
Oh boy. From just what's available on the shelves, not still packed away in crates/boxes.
I may have had a favorite company back then:
More promiscuous tastes:
I hurt with miscellany, and contributions of my better half:
That was a heavy box to move:
Magazines include The General, 'Strategy and Tactics', Moves, Nexus, 'Empires Eagles and Lions'. Harnmaster in the pile on the right:
Steve Jackson, Avalon Hill, and Clash of Arms included:
"Party Games"? A&A was donated to me by a friend, got that copy of Dip from Harrod's in London.
It's a small-to-medium size collection.
Now, my buddy has an actually Large collection of games, numbering in the 4 digits.
I see that TRO:3025!
I absolutely loved Battletech and Mechwarrior as a kid. I had almost every FASA published Battletech novel too. I think they're all still piled in a box somewhere.
This is a partial shot of one of my closets. This is maybe 1/4 of my collection, mostly the classic titles

I JUST loaned out my Panzer Blitz and Panzer Leader games, as well as Tac Air. Going to have to get them back.I've had this since the early 80's when I was @12 y.o. or so. Probably haven't played it since then either.
Back at my Army ROTC Advanced camp we got to qualify with the AT-4 using a sub caliber trainer. Basically a 9mm barrel inside of an AT-4 rocket tube. I've been seriously thinking about trying find something like that just to watch the Fudds on the range jaws drop when I pull it out.
BTW, a new version of PanzerBlitz is in the works. I've had a chance to help the designer playtest a scenario.

This is where I'm at nowadays.
Pretty cool! I wouldn't have even thought these were still a thing.
I stopped playing when Steel Panthers came out for PCs in the mid 90s. I miss those games....
Yeah, it's a little surprising, but if they can completely fill this room for 3.5 days (which is bigger than it looks), it's still a thing. (I took this at Winter Offensive, and most people were not there to play PB.)
The woman in the lower right is the person updating PB.
