I have a tutorial of vassal gameplay if you wanna review it on a vassal log. Its a fun game. Its amazing how much info is worked into a card game. Great copy of simplified rules on BGG too
Tigers in the snow, a fairly new pre printed battle map Memoir 44. Its a very good scenario, operation market garden is on the other side. Plays 2 to 8 players and takes about 3 hours. A lot of fun
Born and raised in Newport News VA, I was raised playing on the grounds at Fort Monroe, NASA Air and Space Museum, The Jet Park on Mercury Boulevard, and all the museums in the area. At the age of 12 we moved to rural WV, where the only board games were chess, checkers, and monopoly. At the age of 19 I meet my friend Kai, who gives me a short intro to wargaming, but moves away, and gets married, and so do I.
Kai and I rekindle our freindship 20 years later, and he introduces me to wargaming. I say "Thats sort of geeky", but I try it, and Im hooked.
Now I spend many hours trying to learn as many games as I can, sometimes even painting my little memoir guys, or trying to design some fun variation of a game to see if I can do it.Its amazing after all these years of not quit knowing what to do I find War gaming.

Hammer of Scots was great. It was my first time playing a block war. I really want to try this out again. 12 hours a week of gaming is probably a little aggressive. I play Wed nights 8-midnight and than on the weekend I play about 4 hours so 8 hours plus a little online, reading rules, playing stuff with the kids.
No I haven't found an opponent yet...I've logged onto VASSAL a couple of times but there's not been anyone in the Memoir section...
I'll try to log on this evening (Tues., 4-21), but it may be later in the evening...
Thanks, I'm looking forward to a match, and learning from you....
Thanks,

Charles,
I just saw your post over in the South Carolina Wargamers group here on the the Social. Many gamers in SC are in the Charleston Area. There a few in the Columbia area as well and there is supposed to be a group in the Greenville Area.
I belong to the Charleston Area Wargame Society (CAWS). If you are ever in the Charleston area or are interested in keep tabs on what we are up to, I invite you to visit our Yahoo! Group at http://tinyurl.com/2tcadr We electronically publish a monthly newsletter as well.
The Game Matrix of Tacoma, WA, hosted a "Flames of War" Kursk scenario for NHMGS' Enfilade 09 Convention. This first, of a 3-part series, depicts the strategic situation, intorduces the opposing players and highlights the opening moves of the game.
I think this coud be the place for looking for PBEM opponents. Just start a discussion for the game you would like to play PBEM, or consult an already existing discussion if there is already one concerning the game you want to play
