Combat sounds virtually identical to Samurai Swords.

In fact, Fell, if you haven't played it, you might like it as a successful version of Nexus Ops.

Samurai Swords as in the game formerly known as Shogun? The only similarity I see is the combat. Units are gained differently, resource management isn't really a factor, and the board is completely static.

I have played it, and I don't really dig it, though it's one of my dad's favorites. SE is right, though--the two games are very different.

[The Jade Knight]

Okay.  I rather enjoy Samurai Swords.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I like Samurai Swords too. Love it. Dominate at it. Not entirely sure I've ever lost a game of it.
But I find some of the other strategy board games, like Attack! to please me more, so I don't make my friends play it much.

[Fellfrosch]

Speaking of board games, I yearn for a good game of History of the World. I'll have to do something about that.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I'm generally up for that as well. Too bad I'm not enough up for it to travel 2000 miles for a game.

[The Jade Knight]

Yeah, ditto.  I have no idea what that game is like, but it sounds interesting enough.
