I would say for the most part please keep as I'm in favor of many boards options. Would only suggest if there was actually something not good about them visually or in game-play. Which so far in my experience hasn't been your boards

So I did my review of Across the great divide, and I'm curious as to other opinions on it?

 Thoughts on that board?  

 

For me:

Likes:

Graphics are cool - map layout is original - like the use of different mechanics 

Dislikes:

Can't win - slow start - too open (no enough choke points - hard to defend) - luck dependency - not so balanced - really big so long games

Added mine too, not too different from your takes.

Totally off topic, but ratsy do you always use a different color for every game?

Just noticed because of the games you hosted here.

I feel like most people I've played stick to 1 or up to 3 colors

Hmmm... depends.  For these ones, because I have like 5 identical games going on, it helps me to have different colors, so my brain picks up which game I'm in.  Same for tournaments where a bunch of games start at the same time - I get lost if I'm always the same color.

Believe it or not, I have played lots of turns and then thought "Crud, I think that was supposed to happen in that other game...."

IMHO

Tanks might be your weakest board.

...and I don't like clue (that doesn't mean it's bad it's just not for me)

I think you should leave em all up. None of your designs are total crap...

My first and second thoughts was none of them. You never know when a board is going to get a renaissance. One of my favorite boards ever was rarely played when I joined.  But,  I started game after game until I took the title from Hugh through some epic battles.  It's been barely been played since, but one day a new challenger will come...

I seem to have the opposite problem I like the consistency of 1 color across my many games, but have to diversify when I run into people that like purple which I will add there is a ton of them here on this site .

So I run into clicking on other players territories thinking "Why can't I place my guys?!"

Also my rating will be similar, but I think a huge difference is between the levels of fog and will wait till I finish out these games

I want to join this! One problem though I have rated a few boards but some of those board I have not played five games on. And of course I am in too many games, so it will be a while before I crate or join a new game.

I was thinking about taking down Dodgeball, Tug of War, and Tanks.

Hmmm... haven't played tug of war in a loooong time... don't remember. 

Some games to jog the memory

Well I've been planning a tug of war tournament for a long time, but just haven't gotten around to it until now when I saw that Ed's thinking about removing it. So here it is if you're interested...even though ratsy just made 3 games: http://www.wargear.net/tournaments/view/1894

Also, I don't think you should remove any boards Ed. They may not be very popular, but that doesn't mean that some people don't or won't like them. Variety is always best!

I haven't played dodgeball or tanks, but I would prefer if you left Tug of War. It is one of my favorites, and if team scores ever start showing up, I think I'm top rated on it.

I think of ratsy as primarily gray. E.Nygma, you don't have any boards here that need taking down. The ones I don't prefer are the most popular. The only board you've ever made that I didn't think was worthwhile was the isometric Gauntlet Legacy one.

Apocalypse soon was great fun! I've got my review of that board in.  If your lurking out there Risky... you did good with one. Lots of fun. :)

Across the Great Divide is still hanging on... but... why wait for the slow kids?

So the next board in my list: 

AstroGear 2210!

http://www.wargear.net/games/join/491218

http://www.wargear.net/games/join/491219

http://www.wargear.net/games/join/491217

http://www.wargear.net/games/join/491215

http://www.wargear.net/games/join/491216

I would join one but I am already in too many

Wow. AstroGear wound down quickly.   Good Games all! That was a fun board - little, and scrappy. 

Next up on my List is Axis and Allies Bomber Command, but it doesn't exist... so onto:

Base 9!  

Heavy fog in all of these, and 6 to 8 players.  

Also, 1 and 2 are the default scenario - 3 and 4 are the "No Bones" scenario and 5 and 6 are "Upgrades"

To date I've rated 4 boards, I started with 199 boards to rate, and now I have 201 boards to rate! 

Thanks all for you support everyone! This is going well. :)

Base 9:

Base 9... tons of fun!  The old abondon mechanic, forces me to watch the history. 

Like that board. 

Next up on my list: 

Battle USA!

These games have escalating fog levels and a variety of player numbers.

Battle USA, so scrappy.  I still have one of those up, but lets move on, I've done my review. 

Next up on my list is a classic: The simple, but balanced and effective, Battle for New York!

http://www.wargear.net/games/join/505904

http://www.wargear.net/games/join/505907

http://www.wargear.net/games/join/505908

5 games here, big and small - various levels of fog.

And an epic team game snuck in there in the middle. 

Wow. My score on this board is 707. I've played 9 games and lost em all. 

Still need players for these two

http://www.wargear.net/games/join/505905

http://www.wargear.net/games/join/505906

Not so much interest in the Battle USA, but lets go ahead and blame that on the summer. :)

Next up for review:

Battle of Bladensburg!    Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy, I like this one. 

(not sure why I havent got a review in already, but so she goes, and with her - goes us:
