That is one groovy game room you got there Panzerde. Is that some kind of Australopithecine skull?

Thanks! Yep, that's just exactly what it is. Found it on Amazon a few years back after I saw one similar in a photo of an author's writing room.

Righteous looking man cave!

Mine is more of a collection of all the crap that didn't fit in the rest of the house.  Someday, though.  Someday...


Been there. Having the kids move out helps. A lot.

You're all invited over to play. I have more scotch.

Tried out a 4 player game of Duel in the Dark with the Baby-Blitz expansion (dirty Jerries get to hit Engerlund with V1s and He177 bombers).  I wouldn't recommend playing this game with more than 2.  the multiplayer rules are tacked on and don't work very well.

Ended up being a slaughter.  The Germans blew the hell out of both RAF bomber raids while the RAF mosquitoes were largely impotent for most of the game.

The V1s did a fair amount of damage to London and Weymouth as well although the raids against Birmingham were knocked down.  Hull was bombed by the Griffons lost a few planes to Mossies but gave better than they got.

The group I played with are mainly Euro-gamers and they didn't seem to taken with the title, especially the German guy who was running the RAF bombers.

Once again, Bawb successfully defends Birmingham. Or, it might have been Denise, swatting them out of the air with her frying pan.

I can see some Shakespearean moments taking place there, with that skull in one hand, a glass of scotch and a smoking cigar in the other: "To assault, or not, that is the question!"  :notworthy:

I know this is not a hardcore war game but I got my son to interested in Memoir 44 this weekend.  I'm viewing it as the gateway game to much stronger stuff later.

Dunno about the others, but I suspect many of us started with "gateway" games in our youth.   8)   I still enjoy them, too.
