Through The Years
And, since I've got a spreadsheet "and I know how to use it" [Mark: "I'm a donkey on the edge!"], here's the The One Hundred broken down by year of publication. [Mark: Yes, I realize that some of these games, particularly the public domain games, don't have a definitive date of publication. In those cases, I did some research, considered my options, then picked a date that sounded good to me. Scientific, eh?] All other dates of publication are from Board Game Geek... note: the dates used are for the FIRST publishing of the game, even if it was less well-known (as in Crude/McMulit or Homas Tour/Um Reifenbreite).

- 1999 was an amazing year - and I got in on the front end of it, thanks to Gulf Games 3 being timed perfectly so that Jay Tummelson flew in from Nuremberg with the first copies of 5 of the 12 games listed.
- 2000 had ten games listed - when we talk about a "golden time" in gaming, was it 1999-2000?
- Acquire is all the more amazing when you realize it was published in 1962.
- What was going on in Germany in 1996? The only two listed games are Avalon Hill wargames. (Was everyone so busy playing Settlers that they took the year off?)

I would extend the "golden age" to include 1997 through 2000.
It is really interesting to see the games arranged this way. I wonder how the age threshold relates to staying power. I certainly would expect more of the recent games to fall from the list before some of the older ones.
2000 Battle Cry?
If this is the Civil War game of horses, soldiers, & cannons going accross RR lines, I had it in the 1970's.

You're correct... but we're not talking about the same game. The Battle Cry you're referring to was part of Milton Bradley's American Heritage series, which also included Dogfight and Broadsides. The Battle Cry listed here was published by Avalon Hill in 2000 and shares simply the name & Civil War theme with the game you're referring to.
