Letting Go: Games We've Parted Ways With
Ironclads and its expansion fall in that category. I played them a lot at one time, but how haven't touched them in years.

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 th…
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.
Played Caesar's Gallic War for the first time at EllisCon. I was favorably impressed by it. It's very much in the Columbia Games tradition despite being published by Worthington Games.

Neat Picture. I was up in Afghanistan at that time. but my dad flew into/out of Iraq several times for state dept stuff.

JSOTF-N was also interesting, but in a much better way than it was for V Corps. The climate up north was batter, too. It was merely awful. instead of being hellish.
Vth Corps was...well "interesting"....

The US Order of battle is pretty easy.

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!

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.
