Next date for a Wargame linkup

Hey folks -

who might be interested in trying to snag a meeting place for some games either Friday or Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend?

Avoid the mall, avoid the traffic, avoid the in-laws, as needed :)

Defense Linguistics commented on Eric Walters's blog post 'Open Source/Freeware Wargames--A Future Trend?'

I've recently printed and built "To the Last Man." I was able to play the game and get an idea of its look and feel beforehand thanks to BGG and Cyberboard. It's an excellent game, one well worth the bother. I _hope_ it is just by unfortunate accid…

Yes, this was a creepy ad. I looked at the Audi website to compare this car to others. Oddly enough, you are unable to compare it to the VW SportWagon TDI, which gets exactly the same mileage.

Another Take on Layoffs

Lately, I've been mad at Newsweek, due to issues of bias that are beyond the realm of this group. However, tonight I read a very good article on its web site, regarding layoffs.I was once in a meeting at a former employer, and we were going over th…

I second the motion. May his service in the defense to his country be what matters in the hereafter.

I'll just say "R.I.P.", lest I stray into the political realm.

I'd love to see more open source work, but I'm especially thinking of computer games. That would allow not just designers, but the developers, to look "under the hood" to see what makes a good game work. Even if that education is taken to commercial…

John Kranz commented on Eric Walters's blog post 'The Quest for the Wargaming Holy Grail'

I haven't seen much in the way of Napoleonic games as of late, and I think the COA system always lagged a bit because the rules changed quite a bit and there have been lots of questions surrounding a new, more playable system. I think if someone can…

What I think will be coolest about the concept is the use of touch displays to pick up and move counters, etc. and swipe the display with a finger to quickly scroll and view the map. All this while having a live chat window or audio option to talk t…

I have a feeling I'm going to be doing some sort of live, hot seat playing on an iPad-like device within the next few years...should be interesting.

I just finished Pat Frank's 'Alas Babylon'. Interesting novel with mention of the old Grumman F-11F Tigers, B-47s, B-58s and more. A worthwhile read.

Stephen, I love all these game systems too. I will say I think OCS is the "holy grail" of operational-level simulation--with the stipulation that I rarely have time/space to play even one of the more simple titles (e.g., KOREA: THE FORGOTTEN WAR or…

Open Source/Freeware Wargames--A Future Trend?

Will wargaming migrate from Desktop Publishing (DTP) to true Freeware/Open Source designs? We see this with VALOR & VICTORY, a squad-level WWII tactical ground combat system that's been out on the internet since 2008. I have no idea how many people…

What's interesting is I am very eco friendly and huge on recycling. But a number of years ago Montgomery County until it was "outed" planned on having police check trash to see if people were throwing any recycleables....
