I am not sorry to see Wacko Jacko go. Good riddance. His out of court settlement the first time round was quite indicative of his guilt. It was loud and clear. Granted that there were predators of the monetary kind out there after his money (and t...
Good riddance to crap music too.

Smitty. I just read To The Gates of Stalingrad by Glantz. The first book of a trilogy.

- Your introduction to consim gaming:
- I am a relatively latecomer to this lobby. I started 'wargaming' in the late seventies with the Usborne Battle Books. I remembered re-fighting the Battle of Arsuf over and over again with my little sister. Later, I found SPI's 'Napoleon' in 1982 and Squad Leader in 1983-4. I played Avalon Hill's 'Alexander the Great' and a couple of others from 1985. Afterwards, I was lost in the RPG wilderness and collectible card hell for years. I eventually returned to wargaming in the mid-nineties. These days, I am just not very active.

Nigerian scam
I have received hundreds of Nigerian scam on email. This latest one that I received is quite inventive. Imaginative even.

Denny Koch said… - Regarding your comment upon my Berlin Central Station photo: Yes, bicycles and cyling are quite popular in Germany, especially in university cities where lots of students and young people live. The bikeways are great and cyclists enjoy some privileges such as the permission to enter one-way streets from the wrong direction. Some cities even offer "bicycle streets" where bikes always have the right of way. In addition, mountain and race biking are extremely popular sports. Last but not least, more and more people commute by bike / train since the gasoline prices reached new heights this year.

Soviet Dawn and Israeli Independence are both high values games for "Lone Wolves".
Smitty
I have the game and no local FtF opponents, so the solitaire theme appeals. I led two light infantry US Army rifle platoons, and sometimes, acted as company commander. How is the game?
Dedicated to the 2008 GMT release of the same name. A rare solitaire effort that leverages some unique elements of squad/team level combat.
"When one plays a game solitaire there's usually more time that can be dedicated to the game"
Thanks Andreas, that is what I wanted to know.
When I play solitaire I don't mind "too much detail" but I have all the time and space I need to play.
I...
OK, Thanks Richard,
I was overseas when all that stuff went down. Most of the very little I know about it is from news reports of recent events.
Love your games!!
Oh, man, I can smell that pie cooking, mmmm.
So, you don't need a pre-made pie crust?
