Scenarios
SPI Quads
___________
SPI may not have created the 'Monster' wargame, but they certainly perfected
them!
Below is a list of the SPI Monster games - which I have chosen to mean:
At least 2 maps
At least 1000 counters
At least 100 hours of playing time
Below are notes for each of these great games!
Each is linked to a page specific to that game as well.
Hope you enjoy this look back!
