Yeah, no mistaking a "Barber".  Funny enough but I took the original .psd that I had made from when I redrew the map for "In Their Quiet Fields" and started to convert it to a Barber...rounded off the elevation levels, started adding thousands and thousands of little dots (via a brush) for slopes and accent around the roads, etc, etc and man, it was getting very TEDIOUS.  I can't imagine him doing that by hand with colored pencils.  Lucky for me, he just announced that he made another print run of several of his maps and his Antietam map is one of them so I'm going to pick up a copy for my CWBS set.

He was a gentle man, I tell you, a most gentle man. Built the loveliest sand castles, with little knights riding around and troubadours playing little soothing tunes. Ah, war is hell.

Wish I had the patience to paint up my C&C: TGW pieces. They sure look nice on the board!

I never have patience to paint (or clip) anything, luckily we have people on our club who do. :)

Practising with Next War: India-Pakistan. Kashmir has quite a terrain to be on the offensive..

I am very interested in the Next War series, but it'll have to wait until I clear out some gaming backlog. That India-Pakistan game looks particularly interesting.

Prussia's Glory II. Battle of Prague, halfway through the 12:00 PM turn of the battle scenario.




Schwerin's wing have seriously dented the Austrian infantry Browne has managed to swing over to the Austrian right. The Prussians have gained the heights and essentially caused a gap to open between the Austrian center and left under Charles and the Austrian right under Browne. The Prussians will now seek to pour through this gap with Bevern and Winterfeldt's wings. Schwerin himself was wounded while leading his troops up the hill, and his replacement was almost immediately killed.

Meanwhile, Prussian and Austrian cavalry clash in the south around Sterbohol. Things are still close too close to call.

PGII is a sweet looking game!!!

Finished up our scenario from ASL "Valor of the Guards" (The Train Station).  The Russians (my opponent) held on for the win.  I think that I may of had enough VL hexes but I had too many points in losses.  Hell of a fun time though!

I think NWIP is a good gateway game to the series because it has no naval warfare in it, the system is complex enough even without it. :)

I have the 'Taiwan' game but have only given a cursory look at the rules.  I also have "Breaking the chains".  When I get in the mood for some contemporary stuff, it'll be those two that I start messing with.

I pre-ordered this over a year ago and it finally showed up a week ago.  I still haven't had a chance to play it yet.  I've just read the rules and run through the first scenario solo to try and get a feel for the game.  Looks like it should be fun.  Great production values!  (and an excellent counter tray)

That looks pretty cool, SDR.

I swear, it's like an arms race around here sometimes...you buy something cool and make ME want to buy it, and then I feel like I have to one-up you...fortunately I have such impulses under control now, especially after the whole X-Wing Minis run. And I still haven't gotten into Armada, thank God!
