Smitty likes it.
Hmmm.....
I have the 1975 edition of Joy of Cooking, and it's old school, taking one from boiling water to complex recipes. In the 1997 edition, they "dumbed it down" because they didn't think modern cooks would take the time and care of previous generations.…
If you order in the next 15 minutes, we'll thrown in this roll of clear plastic, suitable for covering maps while you play, *at no additional charge*! Operators are standing by!

Even if you are not much of a baker I encourage you to make this pie. It will be the best one you have ever tasted. It is from the 1950 edition Betty Crocker cookbook.
One 9 inch unbaked pie shell (store bought or home made)
In the pie shell put 4 cups washed fresh blueberries * (See note below)
In a medium bowl wisk together:
2/3 cup granualted sugar
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Pour the cream mixture over the berries and bake… Continue

Oh somebody PLEASE bury MJ, ok??
Ok Consm folks out there: Who else is tired of hearing about Michael Jackson besides Jim Werbaneth and me? Was he talented? Yes. Was he on par with the greats in the music industry? No. He liked to be in the company of young boys and he should have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law regarding the child molestation cases. I just hope to hell no one tries to nominate this freak for sainthood.

- You are invited to join us at WBC anytime--we even have a few all-female teams you could join, just for fun :D We don't offer Oregon Trail, but we have lots of other games you might like.

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.
