Legendary Tactics is all about amazing games. From classic board games through to the most recent digital games, we cover it all. Our specialty is digital tabletop gaming and creating strategy guides.
Played Mare Nostrum Empires with my two teenagers and my wife today for my Father's Day game. I have the big neoprene mat and the plastic buildings, so it's always extra fun to get it to the table.

With your father... who's completely not into board games? I sure would be unhappy if these are the choices my teenage kids brought to me. (I understand what you tried to do here. I would have never gotten my father to play anything. And for my father in law, it might have been go fish, uno, or poker. But are those really choices?)

Give anything if I could play another game of his version of Chess with him.. My Dad introduced me to my first wargame when he got me A.H.'s War At Sea in Xmas '78. Even for a simple game the rules were way over our heads at the time, but that ended up as my gateway game.

A tactic I've used is to NOT surround the flag in bombs. Make a decoy structure of bombs. An opponent is more likely to suspect the flag is in a + formation, than a lone - un-moved piece in the mid-late game. But do remember. Without bombs, the opponent has the possibility of randomly coming across without using their defusers. If you play against the same players over and over. It is a useful tactic, but dangerous one. Should not do this more often than 1 in 8 games, or so. Or else your opponent will pick up on the fact that this is something you tend to do.

Silly question. He said “if I can get 4 or 5 actions in a row.” How is this possible? Maybe I am doing actions and generations wrong? I thought we go around the table with each player playing actions forever until everyone has passed. How can that result in 4-5 actions in a row?

Very primitive days in computing back then, and a lot of competition. Today, can play solitaire some of the most complex games ever designed, and the computer takes care of everything. I still have my cardboard counter original AH games, but rarely take them out and play anymore. They are old friends that have, well, like me, simply gotten too old.

Surprised not to hear D-Day mentioned. It is a fun game, very simple rules.

Squad Leader is still a favorite, as is PanzerBlitz. I was leaving for Korea in 1994 when the Great American Civil War campaign games were coming out. Which I looked forward to.

My gaming buddy (not at all a war gamer), is eagerly looking forward to playing this game. We've gone over the rules & she feels they are manageable. So, The Hunters two years ago, Western Front Ace last year, now A Gest of Robin Hood... she is worried that she has started down the war gaming rabbit hole.
That's how it begins...
I'm totally looking forward to the FCG release of Night Witches!
I saw the prototype at the Fort Circle Convention. It looks interesting!
There's a couple that I think you have missed, namely, Sword of Rome, a multiplayer game about Rome, Commands and Colors: Ancients, easily the best of the C&C line, and Space Corps, a neat space exploration game.
I'd like to try Space Corps for sure, and I'll check out Sword of Rome. I played C&C Ancients, the digital version, and wasn't blown away, although I didn't mind it. I'd play it again
@@LegendaryTactics I've only played analog, so I have no knowledge of the digital ones. Sword of Rome is 20 years old, and is being republished by Nuts!
