Stack Academie 2014, The Quatrieme at Lord Berri

May 2, 2014 at 9am to May 4, 2014 at 11pm

The prices for the room will be 105$. I know it's a big hike, and I assure you we work very hard to get this. We have 25 rooms blocked for the event. Please make your reservation quickly as if needed I'll have some more blocked at that price. There was only 50 available rooms for those dates as of last week. Code word for getting one of the rooms is: Stack Academie.If there is any problems let me know. You can always ask to talk to Vanessa, she is to go to person as sometimes regular clerks…See More

Carl Paradis replied to John Kranz's discussion What are you playing?

"I am playing Two games of "Here I Stand" on the internet using Cyberboard and Vassal: tons of fun! Sadly, besides this title I don't play much of anything right now. I have very little "Hobby" time to spare,…"

"$300 for a mint copy of the deluxe25th Anniversary reprint of "Divine Right". In fact I now own two copies. So I would be willing to give away one copy. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/23/divine-right"

Your local game club(s) and/or where you reside (let's network!): http://cf.groups.yahoo.com/group/lesgrognards/

About Me: I live in the Suburbs of Montreal, Canada. I am a Mechanical Engineer by trade but now work in IT/Computers for a very large corporation. I traveled a lot, lived in France for 5 years, also in Labrador, up north, for almost as long! I go to the USA frequently, summer home there.

BTW did I told you I was french-speaking??? :^)

Personal Interests (favorite activities, movies, shows, books, music, etc.): I love skiing, camping, biking and travelling. I read a lot, mainly historical, military and scientific books. As for music I like pretty much everything but hard rock and the like; my choices do tend to be a bit eclectic. Very old music always strikes a chord.

Movies? I am VERY choosy. Anything Historical/Military, but I have a lasting fancy about Gwinneth Paltrow. :-P

Playing Combat Commander With live a Live grenade. Bwahaha!

Double-thick counters, or death!

I just read the very interesting Blog about clipping counters for our games: This strikes me as an absolute must. I started doing this in 1976, and haven't looked back since then. :^)

But there is another, more troubling and maniacal habit I catched: using thicker counters!

Most wargames use far too thin counters, I have a small visual/physical disability and it makes those thin counters far too difficult and aggravating to handle. Tweezers? No sir, I'll never use… Continue

Do you travel much? Where else do you recommend? I'll look you up when I'm trying to find another game of HIS PBeM.
