For the first couple of turns, there is a movement penalty for NATO units moving East, due to civilian refugees clogging the roads.

I cut my teeth on Risk and Axis & Allies. LOVED Axis & Allies. I saw NATO at the local Waldenbooks and was intrigued enough to blow my allowance on it. Read the rules, knew no one I knew would play it, so I tackled it myself solo. Had a blast! Even went so far as to write a strategy article for it and submitted it to to Avalon Hill's General. They declined as the designer was no longer with the company and their policy was to have all such articles evaluated by the game's designer.
So NATO was the start in several ways - wargaming, solo wargaming, my love of Avalon Hill and Victory Games thanks to that wonderfully enticing catalog in the bottom of the box, and game writing/design. I was bound and determined to get something in the pages of The General so when my NATO article was declined, I kept going and ultimately created the Over The Fence campaign module for Firepower.

$1.99 Goodwill. Seems complete, though I haven't fully inventoried.
While I normally buy to play, I've decided to build a little pile for trade fodder. This will go to that pile.

[Another found in the GTA on my way home, posted to last week's list because I'm a silly person.]
On the way back home, we're again going through the GTA. We normally break the drive into two days, stopping around Toronto since it's just about at the half way point of the journey. It also gives me time to hit a bunch of thrifts. Like the Victoria Park Value Village, where I spot this fellow for two bucks. It's a VG game in VG condition. With a fairly dry trip down (the best I could manage was a Yahtzee Jr and U-Build Monopoly for piratey pirations) I'm happy for this turn of luck.

Start things off with a nuclear first strike.
50% chance you lose immediately. If not,
a victory is pretty well assured (at least
for the Nato player - never tried this with
the WP).

Unpunched, $20 at Half Price Books in Apple Valley. Ran into someone else buying games that got there just before, "That's a good one," he said, "I have that one." Then I noticed the game in his hands, Magic Realm for $15.

born '64 in germany, i grew up in a wargame desert. beside boardgames with "wargame themes" like campaign, dictator, risk, panzerschlacht etc. there was nothing with the "real" feel, so me and my friends had to create houserules for the battles with our plastic soldiers and tanks. no one of these survived (the rules, not the friends), so i can't estimate if this were "real" wargames. at about '78 i heard from a game called "Armageddon: Das strategische Fantasyspiel". which me and my friens ordered as soon as we could afford the price, which was immense for poor teenagers as fa as i remember. we got some clear black and white hexsheets, some not-diecut countersheets on very thin cardboard and a *fascinating* rulebook. we made a 2 square meters hand painted battlefield out of it, and bloody battles raged a summer long until girls, partys and motorcycles got much more interesting. the once holy battleboard went to the trash can unnoticed, like all the brave plastic soldiers. but that was fantasy and not yet a "real" wargame.
later, in the early eighties, there were many demonstrations for peace and against atomic weapons in germany (btw, two issues i support). on one of these demonstrations i saw a hex-mapboard of germany filled with a-bomb-blast and ruin counters (i think it was THE THIRD WORLD WAR), created by a group of protesters to blame the us governmnent using games to prepare an atomic war. i was fascinated. by the game. so i asked where to get these things. after much debating i got the adress of a mail order shop and after a few weeks i opened my first "real" wargame box. infection started.
NATO was, and is, fascinating, as cold war is my favourite wargame theme.
after a twelve-years-break (job, kids, wives) the infection started again a half year ago, and my last, of many, order since them was THE NEXT WAR by SPI, mint, 36 € :-) (published '78, something of a closing circle).
favourite wargame: too much to name one, most played perhaps THE GREAT WAR by XTR.
greetz,
frank
