But, that got me thinking.  Is there a medieval equivalent game?

The only one that I'm aware of is "Warlords of Europe," which you already know about.  I have a copy and it is an excellent game.  I have no idea why it's out of print -- given the high prices that the originals command, it seems like  a reprint would sell well.  If you're willing to part with $150 -$200 for a medieval equivalent of Axis & Allies, do it.  IMO it's even better than A & A.

Have fun with Axis & Allies!

Silo 14 & Raid on Iran

Quote from: Spooky on April 18, 2025, 03:17:08 AMSilo 14 & Raid on Iran

I have both of these games (2x Silo 14).  Sadly, Raid on Iran is Steve Jackson Games.  Silo 14, though, is a wild one.  It's like a Dr. Strangelove kind of scenario, and it was made locally here, about a half hour away from my hometown island in Southern NJ.

Yes, of course I realise that Raid on Iran was made by Jackson. He's created some greatness in his time, my favourite being GURPS.

If I had to politically agree with creators I would have about 10 CDs, LDs, comics and games on my shelf instead of thousands.

Don't do the leftist thing of burning things made by people you don't agree with, it's retarded.

Raid on Iran is a very fun neat little game, especially if you're interested in Eagle Claw. The release date is real interesting too, very close to the date of the actual mission..makes you wonder if Jackson had contacts..SJG being raided by the FBI for a GURPS supplement also adds to his previous legitness and coolness.

Silo14 is really cool. I got it from Noble Knight about a year back and played it with a buddy. Made a whole backstory for it that fed into my game world. The random enemy encounter mechanism is neat.

It's cool that Centurion Games was near you.

I agree with you 100%.  I did not throw out my SJ Games games like Ogre and Car Wars and stuff, over his political extremism.  It doesn't change a game's playability.  I can still lay these games that I already paid for in the past.  Throwing them out would only make me waste my own money.  But if anyone is interested in buying it, go on the secondary market to avoid funding their causes.

The fact that the CIA raid happened makes SJ's insistance toward an intrusive authoritarian government, supporting a candidate in a regime with a history of this kind of criminal behavior against innocent U.S. citizens, all the more bewildering.

And, yes, I own Raid on Iran from before, and it's a neat game.
