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 learn…
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.
- Personal Interests (favorite activities, movies, shows, books, music, etc.)
- Legal Novels, military history magazines, guns, horseback riding

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.

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.
