The core of my wargame collection

Here’s the core of my wargame collection. These are all rather old and I still regret not having bought more back when they were readily available (but the back then I had much less money to spend).

I also had two of the core GDW Europa series games, Fire in the East and Scorched earth covering the eastern front through the entire second world war. I tried setting them up to play with a friend and circumstances resulted in the counters and some other related parts being left with the friend when we lost touch. I still might try to replace these at some point, but that is likely to be pretty expensive.

I also have a batch of metagaming micro-games that are interesting.

I expect that my copy of Chitin-I is also around somewhere but it isn’t with my core collection. I’d be interested in getting my hands on a copy of battlesuit if circumstances permit.

I have an extensive starfleet battles collection including a full set of federation and empire. I’ve played a lot of SFB in the past but never yet found an opportunity to try out F&E.

I have various editions of starfire around though while the game is fascinating to read, I’m not at all convinced that it is playable without a major amount of computer assist.

I expect to be trying to build some simple wargame-like games using unity over the next year or so. I expect to take inspiration from the games in my collection, but as these are still under copyright I’ll not be directly cloning content.

I expect to post some more information here as I get to coding and I’ll try to post some more detailed comments on the individual games as I get to them and time permits. I’m also making a concerted effort to ensure that all relevant parts are reunited with their game boxes.
