Quotes (from this video)
- Access and Allies. So, uh, this is this game doesn't really need any introduction, but I've heard so many good things about it. I think it does meet a lot of the qualifications and criteria that we established as a war game and as an introductory war game for this list. Just haven't had time and made time to play it yet. I think it could have a very high spot on the list.
- David Thompson has been on the list a lot. He makes fantastically accessible war games. So, anything that he creates, I think is a candidate for this list.
- John Butterfield is a fantastic designer and this is a area control.
- John Butterfield designed some just amazing stuff.
- This is a game that might not fit into the classic war game category, but I've heard a number of war gamers say that it's definitely a war game with a lot of war game aspects and it fits probably in that subgenre of games, get the pun, where you are playing the role of a plane or a tank or a submarine or a ship and going over a campaign.
- War at Sea, if you're not familiar with it, it's an area based naval game that dates back to the 1970s, maybe 1980s.
- This is a game set in World War II where you take charge of female Russian pilots. This is based in actual history that run various aircraft missions over the German lines during World War II.
- Worthington does a great job with their production values with games.
- What games did I miss? What games on the list do you like and agree with?
