Great to hear Jim. :) Thanks. Make sure to download the free firefights from online. I will be posting the new counters for PoH in the next week. I hope you all will be pleasantly surprised.
I just got a copy of Storm of Steel as a gift. It looks amazing.

BFP 3 Blood and Jungle Scenario Locations Map
Rick went through and used Google maps to show where the scenarios that are included in BFP 3 Blood and Jungle take place.
There are only 41 since a number of the scenarios take place in the same location.

Honesty is it truly missing?
On my drive into the office this morning I got to thinking about how much I hear these various phrases in conversation:
To be honest
Honestly
Truthfully
To tell you the truth
and I started wondering if we've declined so much as a society that we now have to advise people when we are making a factual or truthful statement. Have we become so good at lying to one another that it is the rule rather than the exception?
Is it so easy to speak in flasehoods and exaggerations that we have to quantify w… Continue

An incredibly interesting, FREE game that I'm playing
I stumbled on this game by accident. It is free to play. Is supported through a variety of online discussion forums. If you like geo politics, the idea of running for office (perhaps even President), being in the military (without actual harm), or have a desire to own and operate a newspaper and potentially a business. Check this out. It is really free. Takes a little bit of work to get into the game, but once in, it's pretty amazing.

- Hooah for the add. I play World Of Warcraft and Lord of the Rings Online I play PS2, XBox, and XBox 360 I play Civilivation IV, Rise of Nations, Age Of Empires III (I stay away from these b/c of time but reallocate my time at times to Stratomatic sports games, toy trains and lots of other wargaming review and book review writing)....

- What are you playtesting? Are you at a point in the project where things can be discussed outside the Inner Circle?
I hadn't heard of Bounding Fire Productions before. What have they released?
We are in the midst of playtesting here, too. Chad's new Fighting Formations is taking shape enough that he has started folders on CSW and BGG to get some chatter going. Let me know where I can check out your project, okay?

John Bobek said… - Hi Brad,
I have no idea where you might find Tricolor, but if you're into Napoleonic miniatures rules, there are several sets in my book, The Games of War. You can check out the game pictures I've posted to get an idea. Oh, and there's a whole lot more than Napoleonics.

- Hey there! You've been quiet recently (for six months or so!). I hope that means you are having so much fun playing games that you have no time for online chatter. How are you liking Conflict of Heroes? I have been having a great time with it. I think Uwe has done a good job of making a quick, playable game with a good "feel" to it.
Your pal,
Kai

I have a phenomenal wife who looks better, and likes to wargame too. If you make the Expo this year you'll get to meet her!

Audi demonstrates that tyranny still isn't funny.

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…
