Funnily enough, didn't get on with Kingmaker...eveyone just piles up on a city and hopes to avoid the plague...

Yup Axis & Allies! But actually never got to finish a game even after a long bank holiday weekend playing it non stop.

Risk - fond memories

I can't remember the name of the game and I think it might have been made by Airfix. It was a vertical perspex screen which you moved spitfires and Messerschmidts around by rolls of the dice trying to "shoot" each other down by flying to the same occupying peg hole in the sky (bit like Headache - the game)

Cry havoc
Samurai blades and the others in this set of games.
Diplomacy
A one where you play Arthurian knights and have arrived in a unclaimed valley and for the life of me I can't remember what it is called.
Also a pirate game which I can't remember. You spend ages stalking a merchantman and it either disapears or turns out to be a man of war. Doing well aren't I

Also Shogun, heroquest and advanced heroquest withh the add ons and all the others that I have forgotten.

Cry Havoc and its relatives were irritating; the odds very heavily favoured even a peasant on the defence against an attacker, even a knight.

We played the following games very regularly:

Kingmaker always was a hit - we always cheered when Sir Percy showed up, never knew why 
Magic Realm was loads of fun too - if you had a clear head
Squad Leader, COI, COD, GI... - I moved on to ASL though

And others less often:

Air War
Air Force
Ironclads
88

And nowadays it's mostly ASL and MMP ACW games like 'This terrible sound', as well as some fun games:

Battlestar Galactica
Dilbert
Dominant Species
and lots more at the club, most I only play once or twice

Sir Harry. Percy is the family name, by which a knight is not labelled.

Anyone remember this one from the sixties. It was a laminated board onto which flat plastic hills, forests etc could be temporarily stuck. The opposing sides were small plastic forces of tanks, guns and planes. It was the first wargame I ever played but I can't remember its name.

1) SPI's Empires of the Middle Ages. It is very different from most other games and covers a period of particular interest to me.

2) Diplomancy.

3) Risk. As popular with my son and his friends as it is with me and my friends.

Our staple back in the 70's was the Napoleonic boardgame 'Campaign'. Excellent fun and still up in the loft as we speak. Buccaneer was good fun too!
