Avalon Hill war gaming..........
Do any of you arrsers know of Avalon Hill wargames? My elderly neighbour has a shit load of it, in excellent condition. I've seen it all, and it's quite a collection.
Anyway, he's looking to flog them on, as he's moving to the USA in a month or so.
Anyone interested?
The games are:
Squad Leader
Cross of Iron
Crescendo of Doom
And one with GI in the title.
Apparently these are about 40 years old, and quite collectable.

mmmm... Squad Leader. I spent part of a misspent youth playing that. If I remember the others are extension packs to the main game. Wouldn't have the patience these days, nor an opponent

PA - these were big in the late 70's and early 80's. If you were a teen then you might have find memories of reading the ads in various magazines, and wishing you were minted enough to buy all of them, let alone one. I think they cost something like £14.99 a game in 1982? Had a quick gander on ebay, and the prices range from a fiver to night on seventy notes for a still sealed game.
There does appear to be a brisk trade in the stuff though.There is no question so obviously stupid that it prevents one supposedly intelligent human from asking it of another.
Likewise, there is no human problem that cannot be solved by the correct application of the appropriate quantity of high explosive, the suitable quantity being derived by the Formula P, where P = "plenty"

I have virtually EVERY AH board game made.As for the ones you mention,have a peek at boardgamegeek.com.Since all the Squad Leader stuff has recently been reprinted thay may best be sold to a collector,but i think they wont bring a fortune(unless they are unused)Also,he can email second chance games,they sell preowned board wargames.
