Hey mods. Great chance to "get in good" with the growing DDRD community here. Simply ban this fuckwit "Is it fascism yet" so the forum won't have to suffer his boring posts everywhere.

People should only use one of the expansion boards at a time, if at all and only if you have at least 6 people playing IMO. Using them all would be a huge clusterfuck where you'd lose instantly because a million rifts in Kingsport are open, the Dunwich horror is awake, and the deep one track is almost full and you don't have nearly enough players to deal with all the bullshit at once.

I'm no shitposter; I always know how I'm posting is wrong. I'm just a guy that doesn't like reading the thread, effortposting, and respecting the mods. So if you think about it, I'm the best poster here.
Euphoria owns so hard. You can pay your workers in food or drugs (or just not pay them) and with the right recruit you can just eat them or suck their brain out for huge rewards. You have to be careful that your workers remain too stupid to figure out what an rear end in a top hat you are or they'll run away. Building markets is great because once you start building one everyone who doesn't help you gets penalized.

It's a p. decent worker placement underneath all this awesome theme, too.

pussy, play avalon hill sometime

actually does anyone play old-school 80s hex and chit stuff? my dad had a huge collection so it became a family pastime. best were squad leader (as long as you ignored vehicles) and war and peace. i suppose third reich was cool but it took forever to play. i've got a copy of the starship troopers game too, it's cool but the art is painfully 70s

asl is still good, ocs is still awesome, but theres loads of good newer stuff out there atm

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

actually on that subject what's a good 'replacement' for third reich? something where you've got some tactical control (so higher-level than axis and allies) but still at the grand strategy level, while not requiring literal weeks to play? i'd love to also see a napoleonic or civil war game on the same level but those are probably a lot rarer

also if there is a good thirty years war game on any strategic level i will poo poo myself

Tekopo
Oct 24, 2008

When you see it, you'll shit yourself.


new stuff at grand strategy levels are:

Totaler Krieg/Dai Senso: awesome because the first part of it is like a cyoa where you get to make crazy a-historical alliances and use cards to decide on the politics of your country, although it takes at least two full days to play

The Supreme Commander: ive heard issues with how the p500s were handled since an errata was issued almost as quickly as the game came out

any of the CDGs, esp Paths of Glory/Pursuit of Glory (those own, can be played in a day)

if you really want something close to third reich theres A World At War which is basically advanced third reich/empire of the rising sun all put together
