LB - What's the game between Spartacus and Darkest Night?

Submarine. Original issue; punched.

Sorry - that is between Darkest Night and Kaiser's Pirates.

Between Spartacus is Naval War of 1812 by Worthington Games. Bison and I broke it out tonight. I should have a review of it soon.

That Kaiser's Pirates game looks intriguing. Can it be played solo? I'll have to look for more info.

Yes, though some players I chatted with advised that it is difficult to win as a single-player game. They were playing as a trio and indicated it is quite good as a three player game.

Darkest Night looks really fun and I almost tossed it in with my Dawn of the Zeds order. But I have a lot of soloable co-ops like this, so I figured that I did not need one more, despite the cool idea and art.

LB - I see your spending continued on day two.  ;)

I picked up Hold the Line at Prezcon.

I received my copy of HtL and the French & Indian expansion a few weeks ago. Currently playing the first scenario with the girlfriend.




Nice loot pile, LongBlade!
Was interested in Naval War of 1812 myself.

Nice! I've been curious about that one. Looking forward to the review.

Panzer Blitz and Panzer Leader were my first Wargames, along with Von Richthofen's War. Finding them among some stuff I'd left behind at my folks' place was what got me interested in Boardgaming again after almost 20 years of other pursuits.

OK - if I get to Hawaii before you leave, you're totally taking me over there

Ok, so this is way cool.  I'm going to drag my son up to this store today so I googled it to find out when it's open and I found this link.

So you click on this (if it works) and if you click the little double arrow at the top to go into the store you can take a virtual tour.  Very neat!

I'd be curious to see how long it takes you guys to find the boardgame room.  I know where it is and it still took me 5 minutes to navigate to it!

LB walked out this morning with a copy of Von Richtofen's War if I'm not mistaken.  That's the WW1 air combat game correct?

Yes, WWI air combat. One of my first games as well. Still my favourite WWI air combat game.... but GMT's Bloody April is now a close second.

I would die in that place. I'd spend days just wandering around and eventually they'd find my corpse after I succumbed to dehydration.

Im sure there is a stash of caffeinated drinks, junk food and stale pizza to sustain you hidden amongst the piles. :)

You're correct. I now own Richthofen's War 2nd Ed.

And a family portrait of me flying with the Red Baron.

10 minutes at least and I knew it was there somewhere.
