World War II

Cody takes a look at this mesh of World War II and lingerie themes from Kamikaze Games and Arclight Games. Does it extend the borders of the Reich? Or will it just leave you blushing?

Do you ever get in arguments with your friends over strategic materials, where to launch your next offensive, or political and military control over small countries? Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt did, and yet they always managed to remain friends and share secrets like schoolgirls. Now, you can recreate their historic hi jinks with this new game of negotiation, cooperation, and competition. I just hope Stalin and FDR don't feel bad that their names aren't on the box.

Cody's written review for Tide of Iron: Next Wave has been added to the Deseret News review page.

Cody looks at a board game dealing with one of his favorite historical events, the Fall of France in 1940. No Retreat 3, from Victory Point Games, takes us back to the dark, early days of WWII. Let's watch!

Tide of Iron is back, but will 1A Games' Next Wave live up to Fantasy Flight Games' proud tradition of producing this WWII game of tactical battles? Cody investigates.

Cody takes a look at Paul Koenig's The Bulge: 6th Panzer Army, from Victory Point Games.

Seventy years ago today Americans and their allies fought and died in the invasion of France. But for their efforts Nazi rule may well have continued in Europe for years to come. The world owes all men, whatever their nationality, who fought for freedom that day and in the many others of World War II, a tremendous debt. History is a wonderful fit with our hobby, as there are many, many tremendous games that recreate historical events. Wargames often recreate historical conflicts in ways that make the wars easier to understand and appreciate. There are many wonderful World War II themed games on the market today, far too many to mention here. Some of my favorites include Memoir '44, Tide of Iron, and of course, Axis and Allies. Today, as we remember the heroism and sacrifice of those who came before, you may want to break out one of these games in their honor.
