On my gaming table atm is 'Saints in Armor' from GMT. I'm currently playing the 'White Mountain' scenario and learning the rules.

(Technically I'm not playing MY copy of it, so I guess that doesn't count among all youse wise guys.)

I hope that isn't the rule here

I imagine that getting out and playing it, regardless of ownership, counts...it's sort of social...

If my social life didn't include demented and sad, I would not have a social life.

I've had none in the last many weeks. Only that murder mystery show. I guess that counts. Gaming, though...not much.  :buck2:

Isn't "in-punched" what Mississippi wargamers do when they play with their sisters? ;)


"In-punched" is what you call counters that are not only still on the sprue, but have square corners.  >:D


Or, it's how you type "un-punched" when you are also trying to deal with issues on two VMware clusters at two different customers at the same time because two of your senior engineers are out today but you'd rather be gaming.  :tickedoff:

And I'm relearning the rules, by doing the same thing and then talking about it with Bawb. The 'stache, or course, periodically rants at us with his anecdotes about his time in Mansfield's armies.

Have a friend who holds WEEKEND parties to play "Firefly" with all the expansions.

Cooks like a fiend, cleans the whole joint, has cases of booze and soda.

...and complains that "Fire in the Lake" looks like to much of a time commitment...

Just arrived today. 8) I don't get to actually open it until my birthday next month. :tickedoff:



I have that too but have yet to play it. Maybe we can try it out with Vassal.
Sounds like a plan. Maybe even try some live play if we can get the times to align..

I played my second game of Antike II today.  I really enjoyed my first run through with it in a 5-player game but I think I've already mined what enjoyment there is to be had out of it in our 6-player game today.  The late turns really just devolve into a rush to destroy other player's temples, especially in the 6 player game as all of the city building and science scoring cards are already gone.

I got to talking about HOI IV with a few of the groggier types from the FLGS this weekend and we all felt let down by it to varying degrees but the conversation reminded one of the guys that he'd bought Triumph and Tragedy 2nd ed a while back but never had the chance to play it.  We're going to try out a three player game of it this week.  Looking forward to it.

  This reminded me that I have that game somewhere and it was a lot of fun.  I'm going to go dig it up.

Come vacation down in Central Texas; wargaming heaven around here...there's several ASL groups that belong to the Central Texas ASL club, there's the Central Texas Wargamer club (the guys that I played with above) and the fruitloops in Austin Tx have lots of Eurogames, Magic, D&D and Warhammer stuff going on all the time.   >:D
