On Wisconsin. Gaming, Brats, Beer, and of course Cheese. Events in Wisconsin? Looking for Opponents? Or maybe you just want chat with fellow Badgers. Id also enjoy a meet up if possible. If there is interest I can make a website.
Good question.
How many members are on CSW? That might be a baseline number to start with.
hmm...do you mean only board wargamers? or are miniature gamers included?
and of course gamers being gamers any figure will be disputed...:-)
I agree, your posts certinaly exemplify the need.
Grow up.
Grumpies??? How absurd, so anybody that doesnt shut up and like it is some old guy that complains for fun? Thats beyond silly asbol;utley untrue and smacks of the usuall BGG attituded. Sorry if complainng about young people to young people sounds li…
Guess not.
Love to go to Kenosha but 5pm...jeez that's late almost my bedtime!!
*blah*
Should have been born rich.
Just a reminder - CC:E tonight at Rockhead's in Kenosha. I'll be there around 5 - teaching, then playing Fat Lipki tonight.
If I'm reading it right, Whitmans suggestion is to not have the blog updates visible on the main page unless you opt for it in preferences.
exact-a-mundo. Thank You.
Frankly I think political commentary shoud be gone totally but it seems to ingrai…
My whish is to have the poltics posts removed. I logged on and first thing I see is some huge bloger diatribe on politics. I was really up on this SOCIAL system till these fanatics decided to make it a pulpit for their poltical rantings
So anybody elsee, do you feel that the industry no longer provides what your looking for?
The ruels aretn compicated the newcomers want a PC in board. I am all for new blood. Ive seen peopel get shunned by old grumpies. I also am not going to just settle for games I cant stand to play. What would be nice is to encourage and explain to al…
One proolblem is the narsciismm and ego of the averge player. No doubt that has always detracted form teh hobby. Its nto al about what you like. Or what company your a fan boy off making money. There are some who have no intrest in the new games but…
Whether you care or not is immaterial to the impact that fresh dollars and young minds entering the hobby is going to make on it. It's ironic that you complain about "old wargamers" being disconnected and out of touch, and then you proclaim yourself…
Actually, it isn't.
So younrad minds now. i cont give a hot in hell about Flames of war in anyway, I dont care who plays it I dont care how much money they make.
I'm trying to understand why you keep projecting your own attitudes onto everyone els…
NO obviosuly its not that clear, as I had asked. What do older wargames think. We are not all the same age.

- About Me
- My Name Wittmann, no I am not making that up. 2 N's always. Ive been gaming something since age 10. I started with Airfix and Marx in my sandbox with close to coin flip "rules" Seventh grade brought me to a Military Academy and there I was brought back to the Sand with a table and Dunn-Kempf. The Army showed me all sorts of sand and clay as well some gaming and MILES. Upon my return home from my Military service I ran into a chance encounter with a fellow Tanker and wargamer and my gaming has continued since. I have also started a Gaming Hobby business and am looking for investors for other gaming related ventures. Its not a hobby for me and my group its a lifestyle and an obsession. The path of life coupled with the economic situation has put me in a holding pattern employment wise. So right now I have all to much time to devote to gaming and historical research. Optimism and determination is driving me to explore my gaming ventures. So if anybody has a fat ball of cash to chuck at gaming related business, I got catchers glove ready.(to dream the impossible dream). Beyond gaming I am just out pounding..yet more sand. Looking for a break in the economic clouds. Beware I also fully spell check dependent.
- Personal Interests (favorite activities, movies, shows, books, music, etc.)
- I am a ravenous book worm on Military History subjects. I enjoy the occasional Classic War film like Bridge to Far and Longest Day. My favorite due to the mix of humor is "Kelly's Heroes" All activites I do revolve around gaming My wife wont wargame but does enjoy a RTS and FPS PC gaming.
I listen to such a large variety of music it could be a page in itself. My websites are construction zones right now. When they are clean Ill post them.

Command and Control in CDG
The aspect of the cards is where it differs from most miniatures rules: you must play the correct "maneuver" card to perform any maneuver, and they are randomly drawn. That seems to be a fundamental design trope for card based games in "battle" scale, but with miniatures rules usually the player has free choice of maneuver, since he is the "general," and other rules mechanisms act to make it difficult for him to successfully accomplish the desired maneuver. So that is the part of the game play t… Continue

- Just want to make sure we are still on for the 28th? I think I may have another victim...errr...opponent...to learn CC:E

- I'll definitely bring my copy. If you have not already done so, it would really help if you read through the Components, Core Rules and Order sections, and rule A33 for Opportunity Fire before we played. The most current rules v1.1 can be downloaded off of GMT's website.
The gray boxes are your friends...and remember, never infer or imagine anything more than what is written.

- I should be there on the 28th. I have CC:E (and CC:P ordered and it has just shipped) and would be happy to bring it along.
I see you went to SJMA - two of my boys attended there, of course by then it was SJNMA.
By the way, Happy Birthday!!!

No they're not, not Super Bowl winners. Some members of the defense need a major attitude adjustment too, especially about standards and excuses.
They are really a not very good team this year.
The Steelers used an onside kick today, and almost snatched defeat from the jaws of mediocrity too. It's a big reason why Roethlisberger could throw for 500 yards and still need the last play of the game to win, by one point.
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)
I'll be good and not ask my question again!
