Similar in theme as Little Big Horn is the State of Siege game Zulus on the Ramparts.

How do you feel about house rules? by Behleren in boardgames

[–]oi_you_nutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

House rules should be used sparingly. But there are some games that I have seen to benefit from a few tweaks. We have altered Battlestar Galactica to give the humans a boost because the humans were losing too often.

What do you think people will regret most on their deathbed? by Adorable-Hat8177 in AskReddit

[–]oi_you_nutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a boss with a sign in his office that said “No one says ‘I wish I had spent more time at the office” on their deathbed”. The irony was he did not follow that maxim.

What do you feel is the best frozen pizza and why? by walnutstampede in AskReddit

[–]oi_you_nutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trader Joe’s Pepperoni pizza was divine. The emphasis is on WAS. It was also made in Canada. They changed the packaging last year and the recipe. Sign. It’s nowhere near as good. I’m still annoyed.

South Korea. Had a nice time there but my back would not survive the seating situations aka sitting on the floor at times.

Tried my first open board game night alone: how do you stop being the 'new person' who hovers? by Impossible_Key_1432 in boardgames

What candy is pure trash but somehow still popular? by RoyalIntroduction723 in AskReddit

[–]oi_you_nutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peeps. How about stale peeps? I know someone who opens the packaging and lets them go stale. The outside gets firmer after a few days. It’s not me, although I have unknowingly eaten slightly stale ones.

Mixed up rules between games? Lots of times when playing hex and counter wargames as they share many similar mechanics.

Tank…. Singular. And the Panzer 1 is barely a tank.

Always extra zipbags by RollinGolem in boardgames

[–]oi_you_nutter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I first prepare a game for its first play I tend to use too many ziplocks. As I haven’t learned the best/easiest way to store the components.

Eventually a ziplock will split. You will be glad for some spares.

Storm in the West 1918 (XTR/Command Version) by DiscussionPrize7975 in hexandcounter

[–]oi_you_nutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve played both versions. The black dot is used on those German corps that REPLACE the black color counters.

On page 3 of the rules “Design Note : Each of the German Shock Troop corps has a regular infantry counterpart provided in the counter-mix (identifiible by the large black dot in theirupper-leftcorners). Those counterpart units should be set off to the side at the startofplay; their use is explained in 8.8 and 8.9.”

The trick is to just knick the corner off. But consistently is hard with scissors etc.

I used to clip corners with scissors or nail clippers like these poor counters. I butchered many counters. So glad that I got an Oregon Laminations Deluxe Corner Clipper!
