I played Squad Leader tons of times when I was young. That and Fortess Europia, Stellar Conquest and more. I loved those old board games. Very complex rules and hours of fun using your head.
The time has come to pass down my cherished Avalon Hill games to my 13 year old son. Panzer Blitz , Panzer Leader , Squad Leader ( with many expansions ) , Arab - Isreli Wars , etc.
X-Box has his full attention at the moment but I have seen where he has opened one of the Squad Leader boxes and was reading a scenerio card. And as anyone who has ever played knows that real wars are won with cardboard pieces.

I was a big fan of the Ambush! series but a friend had Squad Leader and we played that quit a bit also. I had a few other Avalon Hill games like Midway, B-17, Third Reich, etc... We were also huge Axis and Allies players. PC and console games have usurped most of these old cardboard and hex map games. I still love playing Axis and Allies or Fortress America with the little plastic pieces much better.
