I wish to buy a game like "Paths of Glory" (same style not the period of time) but easier and with a less playing time. Can you recommend me, please, a such of game? Thank you very much, cristian. — Asked by Anonymous

Very good question. There are so many “card-driven” games to choose from. Here’s a sampling from boardgamegeek just to show you how many titles out there are classified this way. There are a lot of choices out there, so it would help if you could pick a particular period in history. Here’s a dedicated discussion on card-driven games that you may find helpful as well! Quite a few publishers are actively producing such games — GMT Games, Compass Games, Multi-Man Publishing…just to name a few.

 

I got a used 'Gettysburg - High Tide for the Confederacy' (Phoenix Enterprises) last week. When I checked the pieces against the reinforcement schedule I found that it's missing 3 pieces. I don't know what the strengths for the front & reverse will be for the following units (all Union): 1-2-II, 2-3-V, 1-2-VI. I will make these pieces myself if I can at least approximate the strengths, but I'm hoping someone can help me be accurate about it. Thanks! — Asked by Anonymous

For guidance, please post your question on either of these two topics: Gettysburg: High Tide or Parts Looking for a Home.

For guidance with fellow gamers, please post your question here on our dedicated topic for The Kaiser’s Battle (SPI). You’ll find some discussion about use of artillery in the game there already. Thanks!
