I wish I still had "Russian Campaign."

"Russian Campaign" was a game I always wanted to try but for some reason never managed to buy. <br /><br />D&D was the big one of course, and once we got to college, the my small D&D group ended up playing a LOT of Talisman (which we saw as "D&D with no prep"). Of course you don't get the variety and depth of an RPG with a board game, but still it was great fun!Chris C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08655640273250716377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006434928952501615.post-87050017436172110742013-03-15T07:49:06.325-07:002013-03-15T07:49:06.325-07:00I was big into Avalon Hill in my mid-teens and sti...I was big into Avalon Hill in my mid-teens and still am a WWII buff. We mostly played "Russian Campaign" but also enjoyed "Panzer Leader," "Panzer Blitz," and "Third Reich" (usually with three of us playing). One of my friends had "Tobruk," which I wish I would have had a chance to play. I also liked "Starship Troopers." We did a fair amount of Strat-O-Matic sports games. Of course, we played a lot of chess and Stratego. All of that came to a grinding halt when I brought home the Holmes D&D set.
