Go (though its really hard to find someone to play with)
Twilight Imperium
Risk
Settlers of Catan
Axis and Allies
On the rare occasion I break out Warhammer 40k as well, with a ton of proxy troops. Models are just to expensive and getting worse...

I know, right? The amount of materials used in production should amount to very little, yet you have to pay something like

I noticed the negative changes in Games Workshop post 2000. With the introduction of LOTR and the loss of Specialist Games, the loss of the original Mail Order parts service, the continual price increases, the loss of many original sculptors, moving from lead to plastic in many of their ranges. From a small shop in Hammersmith to a world wide commercial beast, I miss the old days
For those who still play GW stuff I can recommend 'Dark Sphere' in Waterloo, London as a great discount shop for GW products. If you don't live in London they do reasonable delivery and 25% off all items in their web store. It's the only place I get my GW stuff from unless it's the older stuff from places like ebay.
So for example a box of 20x Empire Militia is normally

This is a brilliant site! Thanks for sharing this.
It was originally set up to cover the off-shoot games like Gorkamorka, Necromunda, Man 'O War, Blood Bowl, Warhammer Quest etc
Many of these went out of print and Specialist Games used to host PDFs of all of the rules and supplementary rules that were hard to find. They used to have their own website/forums and the magazine Fanatic which would cater for players of these old games.
Now Specialist games has been relegated to the main GW site and is a small only covers half of what they used it

It was around a couple of years ago that lots of sites like BGG amongst others started getting cease and desist letters to take down material that GW didn't want out there any more. Material that was out of print.

To be fair, GWS has been handing out C&D for a long time. They've been considered jerks for a long time, too.
But when you've managed to defend your IP for close to 30 years, I guess you get to be that way.

The board games I like to play are Risk, Diplomacy, and Axis and Allies.
A game I'd like to play someday is Avalon Hill's "The Rise and Decline of the Third Reich". I bought it for 20 bucks, but nobody ever wants to try to play it...

Third Reich from Avalon Hill was a good game. I think I have the 3rd edition. Its in some boxes in the basement with the 30 or so other games I have from Avalon Hill and I think, SSI.

Expensive, but very nicely detailed. Good game too, similar to campaign series.

Well my classic favorite is, and probably always will be Supremacy (now defunct, so only can be found used.. I think I have nearly all the expansions for it, which for a while I went on quite the collectors binge on).
Of late, I've been quite enjoying Flying Frog games (I've played "Last Night on Earth" and "A Touch of Evil", both are very similar, and I think I'd enjoy their other products as well).. I find as I get older, I'm preferring games that are less rules-heavy (like Supremacy, or systems like ASL and such..).. these guys meet my happy-land of fun-and-interesting.
Other 'favorites' I keep handy are things like Guillotine.. the problem with board games is you have to have the time/effort/like-minded-persons in sufficient quantity to play them :/
