Rick went through and used Google maps to show where the scenarios that are included in BFP 3 Blood and Jungle take place.
There are only 41 since a number of the scenarios take place in the same location.

Here is the wrapup from my opponent of Flags of Poland that we played this weekend.
We played until @8:30. By that time the Germans had 4 tanks surrounding the victory building and a number of squads ready to enter with 2 turns left to go.

Rally Point #12, Retreat from Bairak. The Germans were defending the town from a Russian attack on the Eastern Front.
I tried this one again, as the defender again. Instead of retreating my troops to force the Russians into chasing down 5 squads I k…

Honesty is it truly missing?
On my drive into the office this morning I got to thinking about how much I hear these various phrases in conversation:
To be honest
Honestly
Truthfully
To tell you the truth
and I started wondering if we've declined so much as a society that we now have to advise people when we are making a factual or truthful statement. Have we become so good at lying to one another that it is the rule rather than the exception?
Is it so easy to speak in flasehoods and exaggerations that we have to quantify w… Continue

An incredibly interesting, FREE game that I'm playing
I stumbled on this game by accident. It is free to play. Is supported through a variety of online discussion forums. If you like geo politics, the idea of running for office (perhaps even President), being in the military (without actual harm), or have a desire to own and operate a newspaper and potentially a business. Check this out. It is really free. Takes a little bit of work to get into the game, but once in, it's pretty amazing.

A dream coming true
Ever since I got into wargaming as a pre-teenager I had the desire to be a designer of some great wargame or to own a great wargame company. Something that would let me leave my mark for the future.
I've had the chance over the years to add my by-line to a few designs, playtests, and the like ad have greatly appreciated the opportunity to do each one. But I was still not completely fulfilled. I was still not an owner of a great wargame company.
Sure I'd had discussions about joining an existin… Continue

- Hooah for the add. I play World Of Warcraft and Lord of the Rings Online I play PS2, XBox, and XBox 360 I play Civilivation IV, Rise of Nations, Age Of Empires III (I stay away from these b/c of time but reallocate my time at times to Stratomatic sports games, toy trains and lots of other wargaming review and book review writing)....

- What are you playtesting? Are you at a point in the project where things can be discussed outside the Inner Circle?
I hadn't heard of Bounding Fire Productions before. What have they released?
We are in the midst of playtesting here, too. Chad's new Fighting Formations is taking shape enough that he has started folders on CSW and BGG to get some chatter going. Let me know where I can check out your project, okay?

John Bobek said… - Hi Brad,
I have no idea where you might find Tricolor, but if you're into Napoleonic miniatures rules, there are several sets in my book, The Games of War. You can check out the game pictures I've posted to get an idea. Oh, and there's a whole lot more than Napoleonics.

- Hey there! You've been quiet recently (for six months or so!). I hope that means you are having so much fun playing games that you have no time for online chatter. How are you liking Conflict of Heroes? I have been having a great time with it. I think Uwe has done a good job of making a quick, playable game with a good "feel" to it.
Your pal,
Kai

- Tad..those are two of the Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders circa the 2004 season. One of my business partners used to bring them in every year for a show.
I have a phenomenal wife who looks better, and likes to wargame too. If you make the Expo this year you'll get to meet her!

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.
