What's on your table right now?

Yeah... I really need to learn the v2 rule for Wing Leader... and maybe one of the new scenarios...

This sounds like a job for PBEM!

Spent most of the day learning and playing D-Day at Omaha Beach (thanks again B_C  O0).

Great fun, and HARD! Very cool diceless system. Starts slow and feels like you are not in control of much then you are in control but are fighting against a very determined defender. Standing on the beach is deadly but getting out of cover and off the beach is just as deadly. First it's just the bunkers and strong points cutting your men to bits, then the arty starts landing on the beach and blasting landing craft, tanks and men alike.

Very cool game.  O0

The kids have been on a dixit tear lately.  Not my favorite, but way better than apples to apples.

When I play it, I almost feel like there is a real person playing the Germans.

Taking the bots out for a spin in the training scenario in Churchill... End of the first conference.  I'm sure I didn't play some of the conference quite correctly, but it's starting to make sense.   I'm not 100% sure I am going to enjoy the bots in this as much as the COIN games or Labyrinth, but they might grow on me.  In some ways I'd almost rather it have a separate mechanism to determine how the bot handles issues, instead of having you make judgements based on the cards, but we'll see.

You're welcome, Barth. Glad you're enjoying it. I've yet to get it to the table...that, and the Tarawa one too.

I'll be getting B-17 Flying Fortress Leader to the table soon...been reading the rules since the unboxing article and it's got a lot of cool content to it.

Also have an order in for Legendary Encounters Firefly. I almost got the Alien version, even looked at the Marvel and Big Trouble in Little China versions, but Firefly appealed the most. Depending on its weight and size I might take it with me to the UK. Definitely need to bring Cruel Necessity at least.

Nothing on my tab le at the moment. I could do with a good North Africa campaign game. :dreamer:

Yes, I have that Afrika Korps itch as well...I managed to bag a copy of S&T #300 - Desert Fox Deluxe.  Basically all of the old SPI/S&T Desert Fox games, updated and integrated....600 counters, 6 maps, 10 mile hexes.  Good thing there is a vassal module, because the board is literally too long for my table.

Unfortunately plowing through a couple of other games first...but definitely working on DFD.

[bob48]

Desert Fox was indeed an excellent game. I'm keeping an eye on the new game from GMT, 'The Dark Sands' which looks interesting. I have also been tempted to buy 'Blood & Sand' , but its maybe a little too simplistic.

Great. Another GMT game to buy.
