Thanks for sharing the pics. I played Bull Run, same series, sorta don't enjoy the system. Do you play with any house rules ? Seems too difficult to demoralize units.
Hi Iain ! Paths is prob my fav game of all time, I played Ted Racier in his game of 1914, Glory's End, at Avalon Con, 96 or 97. He is a very cordial and interesting gent. His grandfather was in the Russian Army, one of the thousands of soldiers that…
Greeting ! I'm Brian and playing BL. Having fun with second game. I can confim Chuck's post. My friend Roy built the Union Army into a huge machine that grew until the summer of 62, then won the game early making decent attacks. We are playing the s…
PoG fans unite.
Great Mike: I'll stop by wargame room between miniature games. When I was there in 2003 or 4 the boardgamers where in several rooms on the second floor. Some guys set up and played GDW's mega WW2 game, bde level, got to play two months of WW2, June-…
Allrigty Gents: I'm leaving early to check out Museum of Art Tuesday, Columbus and environs. Will get in line extra early wednesday for pre-registration. Lines can be longer than Ft Benning jump school's: 500-800 folks and 3-4 hours wait. Kinda ridi…
Hi Mike: I'd say so, they are cool with open gaming, we may have to get generic tickets. Last Origins I went to was 2003 or 2004, staff was pretty cool. What would you like to play ? Brian
Hey Guys:
I'll be at Origins, for the most part, I play miniatures. Would like to play some old school board games, from the 70s-80s erra, from SPI, AH, GDW in open gaming area. Please let me know, sorry if i'm a little late posting here.
Brian
A place for those headed to Origins 2009 to get together and plan a few meetups over hexes, a beer, or both.
This group is for all the wargamers in South Carolina. I know of several individual groups in the state so I hope they can all come together under this group to discuss wargaming throughout the state.
Looks and sounds interesting. I enjoy Dip. It's often difficult finding 4 players, not the 7 that's needed for a full game. Last game Dip I was Russia and had a great Turkish player until, he was convinced to backstab me, as we were close to having…

Sure, I'd love to get together for a game. Origins is looking a little doubtful at the moment, as it starts just as I finish teaching a comparative government class at La Roche. I thought this was going to be the year, but probably not now.

- Welcome aboard! But you might want to check the gender on your profile; are you really female?
By the way, I bought dozens of games over the years at both Bill and Walt's and Games Unlimited. In fact, do you remember Burland's Hobby Shop in the North Hills? Their prices were kind of high, but that was heaven for wargamers, model builders, R/C people, and model rocketry fans. I practically grew up in there, and it was the best hobby shop I ever saw.

OK, I guess that makes sense. As long as the unit has the movement points to leave the formation it's in, and enter the formation it want to go to, it seems logical that it should be able to do it.
I was thinking that going from "Deliberate Assault…
You can make a single change to any formation, by paying the movement cost. I can know of no rule that states you must be in Movement to Contact, to make the change.

The last rules issue we're debating is the "Formation Change" rule.
The rules say that only one formation change per Game Turn is allowed.
Scott interprets that to mean that a unit can go from Travel to Hasty Assault, for example, as a single form…
I had somebody do Wargames on me in the 'Short Scenario' [latewar/C3i]; so we ended up only playing turns 8&9!
Played a game if Vikings last night, and, although I won, it was a little unsatisfying. The complete, and nearly devastating, randomness of the cards almost undid me. Overall, it was an OK game, although there is some ambiguity in the movement rules…
Really haven't figured out Vassal but I am located in Sacramento CA. Once I get some help on it then I'm in for some gaming.
Anyone else have difficulty finding opponents available for online play (e.g., Vassal) during Pacific Time hours? I know I do. I though a group to help identify people who fit that profile might be useful to others.
What a coincidence, I'm also rereading Panzer Leader while I'm waiting for Glantzs newest book to arrive (its been shipped) part 2 of the Stalingrad trilogy..
Re-reading Panzer Leader by Heinz & Barbarossa 1941 by glantz.
Reading Harold Coyle's "Team Yankee".
DOWNTOWN is such, such a great game. Quite a puzzle for both sides. And I love how the scenarios show the progression of air vs air, air vs ground, and ground vs air technology over the years! ELUSIVE VICTORY looks so good as well!
We will be having an Axis & Allies series games game day at the new location of The Arkham Asylum comic book and game store at 276 West Main St. in Norwich. We will start at noon and run until closing about 6 pm.
The new site has open game tables a…
The Thirty Years War - Europe's Tragedy by Peter W. Wilson. 850+ pages. Wonderful book.
I am a newbie at Vassal and I am (PST). I have only played Command and Colors Ancients on Vassal. Looking to play Bastogne (SCS) on Vassal.
For discussion of the operational air war system as represented in Downtown and Elusive Victory.
