Update. Stephen - sorry but my trip is put back to February due to holiday's being liquidated in Aus in January and further pressing issues elsewhere. I hope not to cause any inconvenience. regards, Andy

ASL is always good...I haven't actually played for a while. I've been staging some mid week multiplayers on Wed nights. Latest on the table is 'Succesors' (AH). I wouldn't mind maybe an OCS scenario either..Burma is very high on the must try list. C…

My word! Thats a collection alright ! Well there's time to contemplate, but after a quick browse, and looking at your ratings and comments, the following spring to mind first - ASL (any, but yes Japs and Marines are good); Combat Commander; if we ev…

No flights booked yet Stephen, but it will be sometime between 4th and 20th - probably right in the middle of the holidays! I'll check your collection on BGG - what era/genre and scale do you prefer?
November 29, 2009
Sounds good Eric. I think I'll go for Devils Cauldron - how is this game for balance....do you know if the Brit's have a fair chance of winning?
November 29, 2009
Hi Andy, I should be up for something...what dates are you likley to be around. You can check out my collection on BGG under user 'Aussie550'

Open Question ! If you had to choose between Alamein (Avalanche Press) or The Devils Cauldron (MMP) what would it be?
November 28, 2009
Et av de mest omfattande og detalje rik AAR's jeg noengang har lest, veldig bra! Jeg har provde aa finne ut om Alamein ved tanken om a kjope det. Tusen takk. Andy (sorry about my poor Norwegian speech!)

Eric, I don't actually have the game ! I was thinking about buying it but being the frugle Scot that I am (!) I was hoping to find out more before parting with my hard earned dubloons - as luck would have it I see a replay just recently posted here…

Hi Guys, I expect to be in Perth for a week or so on business in early January. As everything closes early, and I ain't a wind surfer, I'll need something to do with my time and I thought about inviting myself for a bit of wargaming! Is anyone for…

I have VG's Pacific War. I've set it up and played through a couple of Operational level scenarios. It's a "serious" wargame. I enjoyed it, reminded me a bit about work (I am a project manager) so maybe not everyone's cup of tea. The design is impec…

How realistic is it that this game will be republished? I have the old original and agree it's an epic - one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. Also have NES's Killing Ground and would agree that this is an ideal format for a reprint.

Didn't we just have a special election.....God we get to go through THAT yet again....

I've found the internal debate (i.e. the debate in my head) has been to either play a lot of games poorly or a few games well. I prefer the latter model, but then you must, as you say, find that set of holy grail games that one chooses to become goo…

Chris: Really - that's a good point. I wonder if the Audi folks realized the message they were sending out with this one. I doubt if anyone found it funny in the least. Smitty

My wife Carolyn teaches special ed. I wouldn't trade jobs with her for any amount of money. Very difficult work indeed.

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.

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…

The game on the development table now is Rob Markham's Saratoga.  This game covers the decisive battle of the American Revolution tactically, with two scenarios.  One addresses the Battle of Freeman's Farm on September 19, and the other is on the Ba…

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…

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…
