It's tough to pick out just one, but I would have to say Midway was my favorite. My brother and I played it over and over. It was fun not knowing where the enemy was and hoping that I found them before they found me.

Source of the Nile, but then I'm prejudiced. Of the others, Waterloo stands out, since it was my first.

Caesar at Alesia, Gettysburg first edition, The Russian Campaign. A 3 way tie.

Cannot believe no one has mentioned my favorite Tactics II

Battle of the Bulge (the original 1965-ish edition) was the very first real wargame I ever bought or played! (Not counting RISK). So I have a special fondness for it, and have probably played it as much as any other.

Rudysnelson10 Aug 2017 5:19 p.m. PST

So, so many.
Empire in Arms
Civilization
Wooden Ships
Trieme
and on and on.

Don't leave any out of the poll. Plenty of places on the web to get a comprehensive list. Otherwise you are going to have a lot of "you left out my favorite game".

Afrika Korps

Then Third Reich

Then Blitzkrieg

Jutland. It was my first game, and a game I feel I could still haul out and enjoy . . . On somebody's floor someplace.

Third Reich

Storm Over Arnhem. I played plenty of Kingmaker but the original rather than AH's version.

If it's by number of plays, then Starship Troopers (the original version). If it's unrequited love, then Magic Realm.

Advanced Squad Leader by far--have been playing this since 1985 (and original Squad Leader since 1977) as to me it is the One True Wargame.

Of course I play others (from AH, DG,GMT,MMP,OSG) but this is the one game I always come back to.

If I had to pick only one it would be ASL and its predecessor.

If I got to add others:

Kingmaker
Gunslinger
Titans
Wooden Ships and Iron Men
Bismarck
Blitzkrieg

Afrika Korps

Original Squad Leader. During High School,this was ALL I played.nothing else.

Sundance13 Aug 2017 5:03 a.m. PST

Wow – so many of them! ASL, AF/D, WS & IM, Richthofen's War, Bismarck, Jutland, Midway, Submarine, Tobruk and many others. Favorites? In terms of most played, Richthofen's War when I was a kid, ASL and AF/D later.
