Discussion of block wargames from GMT, Columbia Games, Worthington Games, Simmons Games and others.
The new LOTR does a pretty good job of reflecting the book. I think Team Yankee does a better-than-average job of showing off it's book as well, but the rules do have some pretty big holes in them. Two Avalon Hill Sci Fi games are very good. Like ...
Hello again! Anyone interested in playing HotS, CR, R3, or any other Columbia block game via Vassal? Real-time mode is preferred, due to the interactive nature of the games. Also using Skype to add the voice chat function. Skype name is yankeeap.
Got to make two recent meetings of the CCWA and ahd a great time. Last time out got in two games of Small World.

Vth Corps was...well "interesting"....
Too bad Stalin didn't try that strategy.

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

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.
