>I really like avalon hill's "TITAN" a fantasy "sluggathon" board game.
---------> We went nuts with titan for a long time, it is a great game and
fairly easy to learn - much more about play than rules.

----------> Yuck - do not like Shogun. Did like Fortress America, though.
One of the few 3 against 1 games which is well-balanced
 We've play "Twilight Imperium" a few times; it

------>Who publishes this? Sounds like one I need to find...
 Illuminati (the origional or deluxe eddition Steve Jackson game)

-------> Had this a long time too. Heck, I even like the CC version - about

---------> I've done Warzone - good game, but I can't get anyone to go with
it, so I haven't bothered with the new one yet. With multiple WHFB armies, I
don't have the time/space/money or much inclination as we don;t play it that
often either...
