Did flooding stop Noah??
When you get the chance to play the Budapest HASL, you'll love it!
Eric,
I'm absolutely crushed by this coming out of yours. I remember when I was just the Chogi and you got me back into wargaming, and then playing ASL, and then playtesting, and then designing, and starting game clubs, and, and, and....now I lea...
This is actually pretty good. A nice song and gives equal footage to the services.
Well Eric, maybe it will be for sale when you retire...
I think the first one is better, but I defintely liked the old guys in the ready room and the uniform changes.
Profile Information
- Your introduction to consim gaming:
- While out Christmas shopping as a young child in 1975, saw War at Sea in a hobby store. Spent my carefully saved gift money ($5) on it. So got started playing Avalon Hill games, my friend that I got to playing games then started buying SPI stuff.
P.S. I'm trying to gather all the gamers in uniform to one place, so put out the word and we'll all gather at my place.
- Your favorite game(s):
- Stay tuned - I'll let you know.
- What game(s) are you currently playing (solitaire, FTF, PBEM, etc.) or wish to play next?
- I'm stuck in this continual cycle of ASL playtesting, and I want to play Duel im Dunkeln next
- What game(s) have you played recently?
- ASL, ASL, ASL, and I snuck in an email game of War at Sea using the newdice dice roller.
- How big is your game collection?
- seven bookcases full, some stacked on top, and about a dozen scattered around the house being perused, opened, or just irritating the hell out of my wife by laying around
- Your local game club(s) and/or where you reside (let's network!)
- Kansas City Irregular ASLers and my own informal club, that doesn't have a name. We just get together and game.

Brant Guillory said… - Sir,
I *just* saw your message about Origins. Sorry we missed each other. I was mostly in the War College, with some time in the War Room as well. Maybe next time I get out to FLKS we'll get a chance to link up. I hope you had a great time at Origins, tho. :)

The Westin in Columbus is the nicest hotel in Columbus in my opinion. I'm certain it has a history; I just don't know what it is. It is one of the few hotels near the convention center where Origins is held that does NOT sell out. I think b.c it is "too nice" (?)
The Westin also does not hold a block of rooms for Origins guests b.c I think they also don't want to "attract THAT TYPE of guest", if you follow my drift.

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.
Here you go gentlemen! I knew I'd seen this many years ago. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/135568
I don't see any advantage to hex-shaped counters and a lot of disadvantages. The only problem with square counters is when the hexes are too small.

Out of the mouths of babes.... :)
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
This is the place to discuss Lock 'n Load tactical system.
LOL Sorry I was uploading this am and ran off to work. This is quebec by columbia games. My first block game and I really liked it.
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
Nope Tigers from Tigers in the snow. Although I have TOI also :)
