Believe this is "The Campaign for North Africa", SPI, 1979. Completely insane, although I'll admit I know it only be reputation. The "60000 minutes" playtime listed on Boardgame Geek is probably pretty spot-on. For fans of supply requisition forms and tracking individual unit upkeep for the entire North African theatre. Totally want to somehow acquire a copy and attempt a game.

I've been addicted to Fantasy Flight boardgames lately. The time commitment for those alone is too much for most people and they pale in comparison to that monstrosity. I wouldn't mind learning a bit more about some of the older strategy/war games.

YES. Big fan of these. Descent is like HeroQuest on 'roids, Doom is just awesome and way way hard-to-impossible for the players. Haven't checked out the others, yet.

There's a few of'em. LOL
I really dig the Starship Troopers hex-and-counter game from the 70s:
I'm a fan of Descent and Arkham Horror. AH does a good job capturing the feel of HP Lovecraft's stories and the way the players have to work against the board is pretty clever. Runebound is ok but I don't think I'll end up playing it too much.
