Question Kids game to WWII

So what game did you play as a kid that you'd like to see converted to a World War II game?

Myself, It'd be Monoploy, but played with armor and strategic bombers! If I can't make you move off your land with my tanks, I'll bomb you off the board and re-build myself!

Post Re: Kids game to WWII

Personally, I think Stratego would make a great WWII game. I have a Narnia Stratego game that has special pieces that have special moves. Like the Falcons (or whatever kind of birds that was) that can fly over other units, land in an unoccupied space, and (on the next turn) attack another unit. I can imagine aircraft that can fly over other units and bomb their units. Can you see artillery that can fire at units several spaces away? I think it could have been a cool game.

Re: Kids game to WWII

The game of "Life" might be interesting. With the start of the game being the 1st day of boot camp and the end of the game being the last day of the war. Instead of getting Children you get "Stripes", instead of going to college you go to OCS. Try to make through the war without landing on a WIA or heaven forbid a KIA space.....
