Convoluted Games

[Juiceman]

If you really want to feel a bit lost, mate, play Guadalcanal. That's all the Americans are the entire time - lost in the jungle!

Despite the reputation, only 5 scenarios call for the disorientation rule in Guadalcanal, and of those, only twice does it apply to the Americans (it applies to the Japanese all 5 times). The most interesting bit about those Guadalcanal jungle rules was that you couldn't examine enemy stacks in the Jungle unless you could spot it, so combined with the massive amounts of leaders in the module some scenarios were a literal shell game of the USMC hiding their MGs behind the wall of LTs until the Japanese walked adjacent for OP fire.

Then if the Japanese could assault you in good order you probably lost...

You're right about everything, but now try and visualize playing that game over Vassal. Everything would be hidden until you stepped on someone's toe.   Completely different experience.

You can get that type of game experience with almost any computer game.  Try playing the Guadalcanal Campaign with one of the many versions of Steel Panthers.
