A detailed sequence of play is on the back of the Example of Play Book.

- Alright Tom, send me an email and we'll figure it out.

Tom said… - No worries, should be simple. We could go over it this weekend, I'll get back to you via email to arrange something.

Bill,
Would you like to play Alexander The Great, Battle of Gaugamela on VASSAL

- Yeah! I've read about 30 pages and its very readable for Glantz. Its snowing like crazy, I left work at noon and I'm going to curl up with it for awhile!

- Yeah, I heard that the new one is supposedly more "enjoyable'" in terms of digestion...Glantz work is great, but in terms of readability...Its always a hit-miss. At least the data/information is concise.

No I have not. Kai asked me the same question today. Consider getting No Retreat from VPG - it's worth your time in general.

- Simple so far - the maps suck per usual with a Glantz book and several early dumb errors - also par for the course. His writing at times is "dense".

Audi demonstrates that tyranny still isn't funny.
Read "The Last Duel" by Eric Jager. Subtitled: A True Story of Crime, Scandal, and Trial by Combat in Medieval France. Could be a Hollywood movie??? Good.

"I doubt if anyone found it funny in the least."
Yes, disturbing... like reading '1984'
Are they the same car (basically)? VW owns Audi.
I'd like to personally invite you all to read a full preview (13Mb PDF link) of our new fast-playing (30 minutes) tactical WWII card game, Frontline General: Spearpoint 1943 in our newsletter. I'm happy to announce that we've just passed the 200 p…
Thanks!
Count me in Jim!
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.

The fact that Carolyn like KAtie, married men like us tells us they are good and special people.
My wife Carolyn teaches special ed. I wouldn't trade jobs with her for any amount of money. Very difficult work indeed.
Group to discuss boardgame Map Making.
Where amateur and published map makers can discuss and assist each other with techniques and methods used in creating boardgame maps.
(not a group for arguments about what map style or software app is best)
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…
