Re: Do you play Axis & Allies spin-offs?
Well, I own all but Guadalcanal, and play them all. to varying degrees..now there's a big shocker, eh?
Miniatures is my favorite, followed by D-Day and Battle of the Bulge. I play all of them solitaire mostly, but head-to-head competition is a blast. I have played Miniatures in tournaments.
Battle of the Bulge isn't quite what I expected, but it's not bad. I like the transport mechanism this game offers. The "Bulge" line that you have to keep realigning is a major pain, though; yet oit does lend a "situational awareness" factor nicely to the game, and probably mimics what I picture as what tracking a battle could have been like in the HQ's.
D-Day is a blast solitaire, and I play it faithfully every June 6th. And also when I want to burn an afternoon with my I-Pod! I find it very enjoyable.
Miniatures is my baby, and have a decent investment in a very nice OOB. It is a very solid miniatures wargaming system, that keeps it a little more on the simple side of typical miniatures, yet good substance. I generally hate "collectable" systems, as I have long since been a school lad that can swap my castoffs, and I have bnever solid a thing on EBay, so I'm pretty much stuck with what I have...which is not a bad thing!
