"Welcome back, Daniel! Hope things get better for you quickly and you sound as engaged in gaming as ever, even if we've not seen you here in a while!"

Dave Smith commented on Daniel Red Cloud Brown's blog post Back, after a LONG WHILE.

"Good to see you back. It's been quiet in this corner of CSW, which is a shame. Was the Arnhem anniversary yesterday? I dropped the ball on that one. I'll have to pull out my copy of Target: Arnhem and give it a go. I also bought the…"

Daniel Red Cloud Brown replied to John Kranz's discussion What are you playing?

"Market-Garden anniversary games. S&T#77 "Red Devils", S&T#233 "Dagger Thrusts" and MMP "Target:Arnhem". All fun, easy, quick. And, of course, watched "A Bridge Too Far"!"

Back, after a LONG WHILE.

So, yeah it's been WAY too long since I posted on here. I've been busy and slowly but surely, decaying. Ive had surgery on one eye. Need to do the other one, now. So 20/20 in my right eye, functionally blind in my left ( only shadows and light.)BUT! I'm still Wargaming as much as usual! My last games I bought were GMT's GBACW " DEATH VALLEY " ( truly awesome game, that) and BAR Tripack "Saratoga, Guilford Courthouse/ Eutaw Springs, and Brandywine" ( Also excellent. I had already owned Saratoga,…See More

MidSummer's Night Reality

I now officially HATE Summer....if it's not 100 Degrees, then it's 'freak' summer STORMS (Y'know, where the electricity goes away ).

But, I also have something new and interesting: The VA and I are actively planning to replace my knees, one at a time. (My latest ortho appointment showed my latest hip replacement healing nicely -not as fast as last time and I have to go to Physical Therapy twice a week, still no problems)

…

Oh...and Yeah

I am currently recovering from the latest hip replacement (BOTH are now steel/polymer/porcelin contraptions). And I have to do the PT -on my own; HA! It's a good thing that I was an NCO, otherwise that would never happen- and just simply ....heal ? recover?... but even now, the VA and I are talking about which knee would I like

Wargames come into their own, at times like this. As bad and as weird as it feels to have a major part of my body now…

Why I cant play a Wargame

.....Because Life The Universe, and EVERYTHING says so.....

I had "World at War #22 Minsk '44, Set up and Playing it (5th Gds Tanks Corps bounced off 5th Pz Div, but the Soviets went screaming through the south, aiming for Minsk - I had merely KG Anhalt down there- and the reinforcemtn rolls for the Germans were Horrible....

and I left the window open ...about two (2) inches....and a kitten came in. The Dog reacted...for some odd…

Chalons is the only DG folio I've tried. It's part of Battle of the Ancient World series, so was a known good. Even Paul's Shiloh was marred by some unsightly errata...

I really hope your surgery goes well.

I noticed your profile pick while on the front page. I then read you are of First Nations decent and a war-gamer. I have created a game about the history of Western Canada and Northwestern USA tentatively called Whiskey Traders. I would love to know if you might be interested in reviewing my project?

It would be great if you could potentially provide me with any feedback or comments perhaps on some of my event cards or the faction cards themselves. I am currently trying to get feedback from Elders through the Education and Treaty departments of the Saskatchewan First Nations Council and also from the Metis community.

As an aside, my ex girlfried is First Nations Cree and we have a little boy together.

Sincerely,

Michael Becker

We've returned to the isolationist idea that it was our fault - that if we just ignore what's going on in the rest of the world (except for a few benefit rock concerts and t-shirt sales), that we can go on with our lives like this forever. Which is also why, of course, that we elected a President who wants everybody to like us - rather than respect us (and not even our so-called "allies" respect us any more).

At 9:56pm on June 7, 2008, Fred Schwarz said…: Hello. I grew up in Toledo on the east Side. I went to Waite HS. I now live in Michigan NE of Detroit. I have a good friend in Northwood OH who plays games, esp ASL. Do you play ASL?

May 2-4, would be a good choice. There is also a CABS meeting on May 2. You could maybe come on Thursday night. I could set up EAT-G Scenario of Case Blue. You could play the Godless Reds against my Defenders of Western Civilization.
