Its about Nazis and they are traveling in time. So I guess that fits the definition. |

So what is the difference between normal time travel like we experience everyday and Nazi time travel. "Get in to the time tunnel you dummkopf!!! SCHNELL! SCHNELL!" |

So first we invade Poland in 1754! Send a Panzer Grenadier battalion to Prussia. Take Poland then on to Moscow or wherever. Everyone will think they are Aliens in search of well, other Aliens. |

The history channel just ain't about history any more. |

Quality television. Hey, wanna play a game where you are a dinosaur and you compete with other dinosaurs to eat Hitler and his underlings? link |

Hmmmm, seems to me this medical/legalized marijuana thing is getting out of control, given certain decisions a number of people in business, the media, and in leadership are making. |

It should be renamed, "The Mystery Channel." |

I am truly impressed by how Giorgio Tsoukalos managed to conjure himself a career out of nothing more than "a bachelor's degree in sports information and communication" and hair gel. link |

OOOOhhh…. this will be very interesting to me! You see at the next "The Weekend" our min-convention in Lancaster in late June of 2016 we are working on a new game called "The Nazi Civil War." this assumes that the anti-Hitler conspirators finally bagged the Bohemian Corporal in April of 1941, and Germany and the occupied countries degenerated into a Civil War, with various Nazi Groups vying for power. We figure everyone likes Nazi's, and everyone likes the SS, and everyone likes Tiger Tanks, so each side gets one tiger tank (we don't care they weren't around in 1941) and one other weapon of their choice and 30 figures. Then it's a grand free-for all on the table top. There are of course regular Nazi Factions, but others have decided to add things like. The Vicious Soisse of French Right wingers, who made Better Nazi's than the real Nazi's. Others have decided to take factions of the various oppressed minorities like Jews, Homosexuals, and Gypsies and make units from them all with absurd names. My own will be a group who views the only legitimate successor to "Der Fuhrer" must be his wife/girlfriend Eva Braun, and will be made up of dissatisfied and ostrasized members of the party, like the SA and will be called "The Braun Shirts." One player noting the little factoid in Jodie Fosters "Contact" about the Third Reich sending the first television signal into space, will have an alien planet completely remodeling their society on the Third Reich, and journeying to Earth to take part. He's thinking of having his Tiger tank on a tripod. One guy is making up a contingent from the Summer Camps of the German American Bund before the war, and it will be "The American Bundt." he will have a theme song.. "The German Band." and so on. What the heck, it's Nazi's and SS killing each other, and it's all for fun and jokes and satire. |

Oh yes! the game designers have conferred and the Porsche "Tiger" (commonly known as "The Ferdinand" or "The Elephant") can be substituted for the Henschel Tiger. This will be covered in the upcoming Osprey book. |

I play a solo drinking game when I watch "Ancient Aliens" – every time the term "ancient astronaut theorists" is used, I drink a shot. I am halfway through Season 3, and I need a new liver. |
Black Bull | 11 Nov 2014 9:00 a.m. PST |
Won't let me watch it BOO HOO…….. has it got the Nazi Bell in it ? |

It's the natural morph of the Hitler channel to the Alien channel. |

You see at the next "The Weekend" our min-convention in Lancaster in late June of 2016 we are working on a new game called "The Nazi Civil War." Sounds great, though I am not sure if the name is Nazi enough as it is. Maybe you could consider renaming it as "Achtung – the Very Nazi Civil Krieg" or something else sufficiently silly. Is there an option to field a platoon of undead Nazi zombies armed with Sturmgewehr? |
OSchmidt | 11 Nov 2014 10:49 a.m. PST |
Dear Griefbringer Yes. Certainly. The only problem is you have to think up a humorous back story and a funny punny name. The rules (which we are making up as we go along, on the Society of Daisy are. Each person gets 1 Tiger Tank (or any other tank you wish, It doesn't matter they all hit the same and get destroyed the same. 25 pts. 1 Big weapon- 88 or 105mm, or the like, Heck you can have the Railway Gun Dora if you want. 20 pts. 1 small weapon MG, mortar, flame thrower, nebelwerfer, Half track, whatever 15 pts. 1 "Wunderwaffe" Wonder weapon. Jet, V1, V2, Schnorkel submarine (on wheels with land torpedoes) You make up your own rules for this we'll vote on them at the game if you can use it or it's too powerful. 10 pts. The only restriction is that it has to have the ability to break down with frightening regularity. 30 SS men (whatever your own particular version of them is) at 1 point a piece for a total of 100 pts. The points are there simply to determine victory. Everyone starts out at 100 pcts in the game. You get points for each other persons stuff you kill. At the end of the game you add up what you have left with what you've killed and the high score is the winner. For my Wunderwaffe, I'm either thinking of using my HO scale model of a German Ooompah band which as long as it's alive will allow me to play a CD player of German Beer hall music. That will completely annoy everyone Or I might in "omage" to my grandfather who had a huge bakery in Koln during the war. He will produce "Wunderbrot" which when the troops eat it with Knockwurst, sauerkraut and a liter of beer (Remember my faction is the Braun Shirts) will when in hand to hand combat and they lose, let out an enormous fart which will cause the enemy to recoil in horror and run two moves, while they get away to the rear. So yes you could use the Zombies as regular troops, or as your Wunderwaffe and figure up some special rules for them. Something like a controller unit which keeps them from attacking your own men. If it goes they attack and eat enyone. One guy says he wants a female SS guard unit commanded by Illsa, she wolf of the SS in SMbondage gear, and wants to call them the Porntruppen. Otto |

Dear List We are considering a "scavenger hunt" idea as part of the game. Each "Nazi SS" faction starts at the edge of a 3 x 3 ft section of the 6 x 9 table top. Inside the are will be three small tags. Two will be blanks and one will have a number on it. These will refer to numbered bags or boxes on the side. At the end of the game you get what is in the bag for any bag you have the number for. Inside are prizes. The prize can be something like a really nice model, or a game, or something that's nice in a "game sense or on the other hand a totally horrible game or a bag of spare parts from your painting table or a truly horrible game like Empire III. The person with the klunker has to take it home. If he doesn't want to he has to fob it off on someone else, either by sneaking it into their room or car, or gifting it to them at Christmas in a nice wrapping etc. You can't throw it out, you have to give it away or trick someone into taking it like making a bet etc. No, I do not insist the player use it, like having to play Empire III. I'm sardonic, not sadistic. |

I love those History Channel "Ancient Aliens", "ancient astronaut" shows. Very entertaining, seeing ancient ruins from all over the planet, etc., with some evocative theories, ideas, etc. As well as "jumping the shark" as often. However, I believe those shows should be on the Sy-fy Channel and replace such drival as Sharknado, Swamp People, Fat guys driving truck in the snow, etc., etc. … And don't make too much fun of those ancient astronaut theorists … I for one welcome our Annunaki Overlords … |

Very amusing, OSchmidt. Worth noting the short-lived Peoples Republic of Bavaria (which met its end at the Battle of Dachau), and the Communist uprising in Saxony, to show there is factual basis for a German civil war: fascists vs. communists. |
