Got this in an e-mail today. I thought it was pretty funny. Happy Birthday to all my fellow Marines out there. OOH-RAH! Semper Fi
A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments.
He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan .. One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU .
One day the professor shocked the class when he came in he looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, 'God, if you are real, then I want you to kn…

You can check out the announcement for this product here on CONSIMWORLD Social Website
here.
You can order a copy of The Tactical Wargamer's Journal Issue 1
here.
$44.99, you think to yourself. That's pretty hefty. I could buy a good wargame for that chunk 'o change. Is this product worth it?
Physically, you get a glossy soft…

I found this excellent book on the net, and you can have it as a download, and is only 4meg in size.
It has some really amazing pictures taken mostly by flight crew/pilots during missions. There are some very sombre and thought provoking ones too.

the download link is here:…

From several posts on my blog at
http://pawnderings.blogspot.com and cross posted from Boardgame Geek:
It's possible to closely match the order of battle for this evenly matched battle of Nov. 2, 1943, using War at Sea ships. Darkness rules should be used.
The US Order of battle is pretty easy.
Four Clevelands (Cleveland, Columbia, Denver and Montpelier, 16 each)
Eight Fletchers and/or Hoels and/or Kidds (Charles Ausburne, Dyson, Stanly, Claxton,…

What in the heck is a Pseudo-Gamer? It's a gamer who isn't REALLY a gamer. I think I've become a Pseudo Gamer because I talk about wargaming a whole lot more than I play them. I check all the websites (CONSIMWORLD, CONSIMWORLD Forum, CONSIMWORLD Social Website, Web Grognards, BOARDGAMEGEEK, and more), subscribe to just about every game magazine there is and read every of one them cover-to-cover, and yaks endlessly about wargames and wargaming. I listen to all the podcasts (my wife calls them "wa…

Okay, here's your chance to vent about all those design/development, systems, component, and graphical things that drive you insane in some of these games. I'll start out with my list and you can feel free to add your own pet peeves. Game designers/developers/producers take note--avoid these pitfalls at all costs!

I now have the winxp version of Panzer General for download. Noticable differences to the DOS version is sharper graphics, larger map area displayed and slightly different menu system.
It is 90mb, which has all the movies, however, there is also a PanzerGenerallite which has no movies and is only 12mb, and it is also available to download.

Hey guys,
I'm finally catching up from being gone for a week.
Looks like we'll be running a demonstration of
HELLENES next Thursday so if you've picked up the game and want a quick way to jump in, sitting in on a live online demo is a great way to learn FAST.

Due to popular demand I am also planning a series of demonstrations of
EMPIRE OF THE SUN!
(I'll wait until the World Series is concluded as many guys are…

For me, so-called "realism" is defined purely by the psychological state of the player--how close is it to that of his historical counterpart? This means I tend to classify "design by effect" games in the realistic category just as much (if not more) than games that seek to explicitly model what actually happens. I am probably in the minority here, but that's just how I see it.
Tactical games are the hardest to be "realistic" in that sense, because it's that level that the smell of cordite and…

Would anyone be interested in this game in PDF format. You can print it and play it to your hearts content. Comes complete with rules.
I have printed it, and I managed to find some good quality thick printer paper at work to use for printing off the counter sheet.
