Finally finished Battle for Spain and thought it was well done. Sort of concurrently read Homage to Catalonia, which I thought was excellent, especially since it gives you some perspective on Orwell and how it affected his later writings. Also rea...
Registration is open to anyone. (Well, except Hawkeye.)
Dammit! Banned again! I so need a better publicist ...
For those who loved it when GDW came on the scene with their East Front game DNO .And then all those other games on subjects and campaigns/battles SPI & AH weren't touching.
Hold the line by Worthington games. A GREAT simple revolutionary war game, similar to Command and Colors, but uses Action Points instead of cards. You can move any unit you want with your points. (Similar to Conflict of heroes)
This thread on BGG discusses the differences between editions:

Mike, what are you basing your assessment of the Afghan troops on?
Can anyone speak knowingly as to the differences between editions? I'm in the market for a copy but I'm wondering what edition is worth getting.
Thanks,
Hawkeye
I got it partially punched on eBay and about 12 hours later my copy of GWAS Jutland sold for the same price on BGG so it must have been my destiny to have it!
Anyway ... getting around to playing it will be a whole other kind of kismet ...
This will be a forum for the upcoming game of the French war in Algeria during the fifties (Khyber Pass Games). It will be one of few wargames dealing with the modern warfare dilemma: Unless you win the population you will not win at all.

That would be issue #14 ... My e-mail is Warhawkeye at aol.
Miniature Games are definitely a distinct genre. If you have trouble calling your playing surface a MAP and you are sticking a little man on that surface it belongs here.
For fans of GMT's card-driven multiplayer game on Reformation Europe.
PoG fans unite.
I finally acquired a copy of "Wilderness War" and I was wondering if anyone had a set of the counters from C3I they care to part with?
Thanks ...

Good, many people bail out for whatever reason and eventually they all come back to this great hobby. I'm on my way to work, so have a nice day.

Any recommendations for a December/holiday wargaming linkup date?
I'll be out of town for parts of the holidays, but I could easily manage Sunday 12/20.
I'm a rookie at all three.
Just fire off an e-mail to jkingsly77@hotmail.com
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
I didn't get the name of any of the players of this game. I don't recognize the name in any of the other games I played. Sorry.
2nd Herdonia from SPQR Delux.
Beautiful voice...
Was Joe Strummer there>
About half way thru ' The Left Hand of Darkness' by Ursula Le Guin...seems quite different to her other stuff. Finished her latest 'Lavinia' just recently and that was far more typical of her style and theme ..also the 'Consolation of Philosophy' ...
No probs, should still be around...heading off for Holidays in March though...
THE card based consim par excellence...
Weird, we must have be psychically linked or something. I made these to dress up my Squad Leader games.
