The Great GrogHead Wargame Scavenger Hunt

[Jack Nastyface]

Now my turn:

Which game features "severed head" counters?

[GroggyGrognard]

^ The old SPI Middle Earth trilogy game, Gondor.

[Jack Nastyface]

Nicely done...your turn.

[GroggyGrognard]

What wargame was one of the first games to replace standard NATO symbols on the counters with unit symbols from the German army?

The Longest Day

[GroggyGrognard]

^Excellent job.  Also known as "The Longest Game". ;)

Bloody Hell's Teeth - I remember playing that when it first came out, and then SPI's Atlantic Wall - we never really decided which one was the hardest to play.
