Wargamers at Historicon next week?

Anyone else heading to Historicon next week (July 16-19, 2009) in Lancaster, PA?

If you're not familiar with the con, it's HMGS-East's biggest annual convention and is mostly miniatures-centric. If you're planning to attend, stop by our booth and say hey (Collins Epic Wargames).

I'm getting the footlockers of out of print games I keep in the garage out of there for the 5 o'clock high tide. Yikes! Thanks for the gouge on the ODMS. I may show up sometime. My schedule is usually pretty hectic so I rarely make the Tidewater ASL Group and Tidewater Area Naval Gamers gatherings...but one never knows. Glad to see someone is doing so much on the Italian theater as you are!

At 10:52am on November 11, 2009, Eric Walters said…: So, you are close to me in northern Norfolk! I was supposed to play some ASL at Sean Deller's house in Smithfield, but with this blooming nor'easter coming up, the coastal flood warnings (we get flooded in all the time), I stayed home. Rats. Had no idea you lived around this area. I was very intrigued by the San Pietro game thru the website explaining the terrain symbology, etc.--looks way cool. Am definitely going to get it!

nice to have you here! Thanks to the Internet and this community, the Wargame Universe became a well arranged place :) We are currently overhauling our website and the basic concept, but once we are done, I will gladly update any information about Frontline General.

Have a great day!

Mark DAgosta replied to Mark DAgosta's discussion 'Gulf Strike - Scenario 2' in the group Victory Games

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…

David Willis Potter replied to Mark DAgosta's discussion 'Gulf Strike - Scenario 2' in the group Victory Games

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. David

Mark DAgosta replied to Mark DAgosta's discussion 'Gulf Strike - Scenario 2' in the group Victory Games

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…

Jim Millard replied to John Kranz's discussion 'What are you playing?'

I had somebody do Wargames on me in the 'Short Scenario' [latewar/C3i]; so we ended up only playing turns 8&9!

Mitchell Land replied to John Kranz's discussion 'What are you playing?'

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.

Opponent Finder: Pacific Time Zone

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.

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!
