Help me decide: Angola or AA

Successors III is one of my favorite games of all time. Good choice.

As for the other 2, I've played some AA solo and am in the middle of my first Angola game PBEM now. I have a hard time not putting Angola over AA for all the reasons already mentioned (particularly KingPut's warning about what happens if/when it goes OOP). I also don't see how it could possibly take 2 hrs./player to complete a game of Angola unless you've got nothing but 18xx gamer-types who must analyze every move 18 different ways before committing to a move. After that first learning game or two where everyone is internalizing the fairly unique elements of the game, it strikes me as a fairly zippy wargame in terms of pace. There just aren't that many actions available to each player in a given turn.

Too funny, one of the slowest guys I know ( upthread I mention his penchant for routinely taking 5 hours to play Hannibal) is a die hard train gamer.

Successors III rocks.
