War and Peace

I had never played this game but had played Empire in Arms.  Richard hadn't played this since he was at Uni and wanted to give it a go.

We just did the Austerlitz scenario.  Played quick and relatively simple.  Attrition was a bit fierce.  Makes me want to get out Empire in Arms.

    1. Yes, but it doesn't have the nostalgia value for me.

    2. Oh, but it does for me. I wore out a copy in the '80s playing long running PBM games.

  2. I acquired it 2nd hand a couple of months ago. I still have to give it a try, but will defintely do so.

    1. As Jonathon says it's a classic. Based on my one play I would certainly say it seems to play well.

    2. It is an elegant design and really boils down to a game of maintaining supply and logistics but punctuated by a few decisive battles. Great game.
