Topic: Gamemaster (board game series)

	gamemaster
		A Gamemaster or Game Master (often abbreviated as GM) is a player in a multiplayer game who acts as organizer, arbitrator, and officiant in rules situations.
		In a role-playing game the Gamemaster's purpose is to weave the other participants' player-character stories together, control the non-player aspects of the game, and create enviroments in which the players can interact.
		The game session (or "adventure") can be metaphorically described as a play, in which the players are the lead actors, and the GM provides the stage, the scenery, the basic plot on which the improvisational script is built, as well as all the bit parts and supporting characters.

	Fortress America (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Fortress America is another fun game to play, although it does take time to come up with workable strategies (on both sides).
		The game seems really well balanced; the invaders seem to run out of steam right about the time they're knocking at the doors of that 18th city.
		Incidentally, since 9/11 this game has enjoyed a considerable resurgance in popularity, particularly the first edition with the Saddam look-alike on the cover (this was removed from subsequent editions, not sure why.

	Gamemaster Series
		But what made Milton Bradley's Gamemaster Series so impressive was the quality of the components, the scale of which had not been seen in games before.
		Making their task more difficult is an interesting game device: each invading unit has to be able to trace a path through friendly territory back to an invading zone of its color at the end of its turn.
		The Gamemaster Series games filled a void in the game community, enduring both the scoffs of the old-time SPI and Avalon Hill wargamers, and the strange looks of the average Joes and Janes who eye the big, beautiful boxes with derision and sadly think games are only for kids.

		If your game is good there is no reason whatsoever that it could not become a "cult classic" game that is played at virtually all gaming conventions...
		The object of the game is to choose one or two victory conditions and follow through to conclusion.
		Don't hold fast to your original idea because "it's the spirit of the game." The game is the spirit of the game, and that's all that matters.

	Funagain Games: Fortress America (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		I bought Fortress at a yard sale about 10 years ago as it was the only game in the Gamemasters series that I didn't own.
		The game is set in a world where the iron curtain never fell.
		The game is for 2-4 players, ideally with one player being America, and three others being attackers.

	Tips and Tactics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Use a minis game to let players get involved in scenes for which their characters aren't actually present, but that still have an impact on the heroes' actions.
		One way to do this is to convert all game mechanics of the RPG characters into miniature stats, which is perfectly feasible (in fact, the latest conversions are up now, at: "Icons of a New Hope").
		Indeed, once you determine the game stats for the RPG heroes, you can simply tell the players how many points their squad is supposed to have and let them do the work of selecting allies.

	Wolverine Gaming Club - WGC Subgroups
		Not all gaming is conducive to the club atmosphere, but in this way the club can provide a means for finding others with simular interestests.
		That way the gaming group is not dependant upon one gm or confined to one genre of gaming...variety is good.
		There are five games in this series: A pirate game and a Roman empire game (out of print, and no one plays these), the classic AXIS and ALLIES (including several different expansion sets), Fortress America (also out of print, but a great game), and Shogun (re-released as Samurai Swords).

	Axis & Allies D-Day Game - AreYouGame.com
		An extra large game board, new pieces and tactics cards add depth and complexity to this challenging WWII recreation game.
		Game includes game board, 240 combat unit playing pieces (115 infantry, 62 artillery, 36 tanks, 17 blockhouses, 8 fighters and 2 bombers), battle board, 48 tactical cards, rule book (with basic and advanced player instructions) 3 reinforcement charts, and 8 dice.
		Not only that, but the board and the reinforcemant charts (where you keep the units that aren't in play) are highly susceptible to board shaking, so if you play this game, TAKE CARE NOT TO BUMP into the board or the reinforcement charts, or you WILL be left with a huge mess!

	Axis and Allies
		Axis and Allies is the most successful of the Gamemaster games to come from Milton Bradley.
		This game is part of the Gamemaster series of games that came out by Milton Bradley in the 1980's.
		The whole series is famous for their high production value and their low complexity, thus they offered a great series of beginner level wargames that were both eye catching with their plastic pieces and the ability to play an entire game in one evening.

	Funagain Games: Samurai Swords
		By far the best of MB's 'Gamemaster' series (A&A bites IMHO), this game has been a hit with everyone I have introduced it to.
		I have owned the game sence the early 90's, and my copy of Shogun (the original title) was getting a bit worn out.

		The board is huge, showing all of Middle earth, divided into irregularly shaped regions, and the box is stuffed with miniatures, representing the forces of Sauron, Saruman, the Easterlings and Southrorns, the Elves, Gondor, Rohan, the Dwarves, the Men of the North, and the Companions of the ringbearer.
		The game is asymmetrical, as the victory conditions differ between the two sides.
		If the FSP is revealed, then their marker on the track is flipped from its "hidden" side, and the FSP figure on the board must be placed in a region equal to or less than the number of regions they have moved from their last known location which cannot contain a FP stronghold.

	SUMMER 2000 GA REPORT
		The Gamemaster Series of games pioneered by Milton Bradley in the mid 1980s are noted by their grand scale, grand themes and beautiful components...
		The object of the game if you are the Soviet Union, Great Britain or the United States is to occupy Germany and hold it while maintaining control of your home country.
		That the game has won not a Spiele des Jahres nomination but has also made it to the short list for the prize...is a testament to the game's value.

	IGN Boards - Poll: Best musical score in a SNES game
		You see, Konami is currently making and is almost done with a port of the Akumajou Dracula game for Sharp's X68000 (yet another CV game which never came here) to the PSX, and is calling it Castlevania Chronicles: Akumajou Dracula.
		The game will basically be the same (from what I know of so far), but will have cinematic scenes at the beginning and end of the game, and touched-up graphics.
		There might be more changes in the game that I do not know of yet, but basically it's just a direct port.

		One game is 'Puzzle Kombat', which is the Mortal Kombat take on the widely popular 'Super Puzzle Fighter' series from Capcom.
		The other game is MK Chess, a very interesting take on the classic chess game that has you select fighters to be your specific piece classes.

		Another entry in the famous Milton Bradley Gamemaster series of games released in the 1980s, Conquest of the Empire is a straightforward war game set during the Roman empire.
		We found this game to be the least entertaining of the Gamemaster series.
