What's on your table right now?

Trying to get Old School Tactical on the table...but the damn map is bigger than my table!


Great looking game, though...

After moving the small gaming table downstairs along with the games I had in my office, and doing some shelf cleaning, I now have a large playing area and a dedicated gaming room. That gives me enough room to finally set up games with larger maps. I inaugurated the room with my first game of Old School Tactical:

[Barthheart]

Awesome!

Just started the Die Falle Campaign myself. Will post pics as I go. Very cool idea for a campaign.....

[Barthheart]

We should try this on VASSAL!

[panzerde]

I'd be up for it. It's a quick system to learn and plays pretty fast. I have the VASSAL module installed and played with it some this afternoon.

[Barthheart]

Cool module eh?

We'd need to setup a live session...

Yeah, though I wish it had the charts! I get why it doesn't, but it doesn't mean I don't miss 'em.


The other issue I have with the module is really an issue I have with the game itself. While the maps are absolutely gorgeous, they're too huge to use the borders for the various game tracks! When playing the physical game it means a lot of reaching or moving around to reach them. In the VASSAL module I found I was having to switch zoom levels a lot to see them and adjust markers. That's my sole gritch with the game, and it's a minor one. Otherwise I think it's going to get a lot of play around here.


Maybe this week we can set up a game?

It would be easy enough to edit that module by putting those various tracks in their own map window in order to eliminate the need to scroll or zoom.

Yeah, since I created the module, I need to go in and tidy/make enhancements. I just need the time....

Not soon enough. :)

This week might be tough, even though I'm on vacation. :)
Maybe next? Not sure yet....

No worries, give me a yell when you're ready!

Arrived today and very much looking forwards to playing - 'A las Barricades' from Compass Games. This is from the 'War Storm' Series. I already have the ''La battle de France 1940' game and like the system a lot.

1775.  A fun and simple wargame.  It's about 100 bajillon times better than risk.  The mere thought of Risk actually caused me to physically twitch when I momentarily considered purchasing it for a simple block pushing area control wargame for the family.
