I just started listening and am going through the back catalogue and I’m loving it. I do have a question though- it’s kind of two questions but I think they are related. 1 ) what are some older / out of print games that you would recommend tracking down?. 2) Are there any games with older editions in which the older edition is worth holding on to / tracking down/ better than the more recent edition?

I have a co-worker who used to play mini wargames when he was a younger man. He's specifically into historical tanks and looking at getting back to the table. Are there any good strategic board games that might scratch that itch without requiring him to dive fully back into collecting a whole army of miniatures?
