What's on your table right now?

[Bison]

^ Very cool.

Looks like a hell of a good time Mirth!  Were the models expensive or hard to obtain?  What about those rules?  I'd love to give something like that a try!

[mirth]

They weren't my minis, but I don't think they are terribly expensive. Most of them are from NavWar, I believe. From what my buddy said, the biggest pain with NavWar is that the guy doesn't have a modern web presence. You basically mail in your order and a check and the guy sends you the minis.

I ordered the General Quarters rules today - http://www.odgw.com/forums/index.php?/store/category/3-general-quarters-iii

The rules aren't exactly cheap, but I really like them and I have ton of the pre-painted Axis & Allies ships that I can use to start.

[mirth]

And it was a wicked good time! ;)

[panzerde]

Looked like a blast!

[Barthheart]

Nice pics!  O0

Was there much down time during the 5 hours or was there lots to do for everyone? How many players?

[mirth]

3 players per side. There was plenty to do - plotting moves, resolving moves, torpedo movement, resolve gunfire, etc. Most of us were new players (I had played once before, but years ago) so it went slower than it otherwise might have. I don't think anyone was bored. We were all fully engaged in the fight.

Looks like fun!

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

Cool!  Should have played with the lights out.

  Little Boats!  Does look like fun.

  It looks like I'm going to be having The Greatest Day on the floor of the Man Apartment for a while.  Here is the Panzer Lehr map for intro scenario number 6.  It's three days after D-Day and Pz Lehr wants to recapture Bayeux.  The 50th British Army Infantry Division plus the 8th Armoured  Brigade and a Brigade of the 7th Armoured Div and the 56th Brigade are also on the attack.  They want Tilly-sur-Seulles.  To sort of make that work in solo play, I've apportioned the six victory towns with paradrop markers:

I always thought GQ is the right balance of playability and grog accuracy....

I reallly dig the GQ rules. I have the core rules and the Solomons Campaign supplement on the way now :P

We talked about that before we started :P

[Crossroads]

Played another session of Blood and Bridges, of the LnL World at War fame. Blood and bridges indeed!  O0

What a fun evening, neighbouring table was playing a WW2 miniature game, so there was nice banter going on about relative strengths of weapons systems from WW2 to modern day.  Talked about various articles and studies as well, like RAND's Baltics scenario and how that would likely pan out.

Which led to the fact we'll try Putin Strikes next, likely
