I remember playing KORSUN POCKET at one of the earliest MONSTER.CONs in Tempe. Jack tells me the revision benefits from a great deal of OOB scrubbing, with the help of Dave Glantz's access into the Soviet archives since this game was first published…
How realistic is it that this game will be republished? I have the old original and agree it's an epic - one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. Also have NES's Killing Ground and would agree that this is an ideal format for a reprint.
There seems to have been plenty of coverage on NPR and PBS!
9.9.9
Invert it.
There are a few ceremonies here in the Cleveland area. I was planning a trip to NYC on 9/11 but decided it wasn't the best idea at this time. I would only be able to afford one day. Hoping Mr. J and I can go for a trip. There is a lot to do and see…
Today...
NOW!!! and some of us have noticed that 9-11 is being passed over...by MTV, ABC, the usual...
Profile Information
- Your introduction to consim gaming:
- I got started back in 1977 with Tactics II and then PanzerLeader which were gifts from my sister. Then I bought Terrible Swift Sword, Panzergruppe Guderian and NAW's Wagram. I also started the Wargames Society in high school.
- Your favorite game(s):
- Right now OCS is my main favorite, having started with Enemy at the Gates in 2005 (so i'm just a little late to the party) I have Case Blue, Hube's Pocket, Tunisia , EatG., and most recently Burma.
But,I have always enjoyed most of RHBerg's games, especially Great Battles of the American Civil War, starting with TSS and Stonewall and up to todays "Dead of Winter" and Gringo. (I particularly love Gringo as it combines TSS and Veracruz !).
- What game(s) are you currently playing (solitaire, FTF, PBEM, etc.) or wish to play next?
- I just received MMP's "Stalingrad Pocket II"; I just Ordered GMT's "Devil's Horsemen"
- What game(s) have you played recently?
- I have GMT's Latest and Greatest GBACW "Dead of Winter", many subscription mags and games to set up and play:from ATO, in the mail : "There Must Be A Victory!", World at War #7 RHBERG's "Greek Tragedy", and the recently-arrived S&T #258 "The Santiago Campaign".
- In general, how much time do you spend gaming?
- 33 hours a week and more
- How big is your game collection?
- 455+ games or so...
- Your local game club(s) and/or where you reside (let's network!)
- Toledo, Ohio...well....I like CABS but cant seem to get to Columbus enough !
- About Me
- I am a Full Blood Oglala Lakota, born on Pine Ridge reservation (South Dakota). I served 13 years in the U.S. Army as a 98G3LRUY, medically retired due to Rhuematoid Arthritis and currently having my hips and knees replaced by the VA.
Married with FOUR Grand sons...four...ALL boys...yes, Quite a handful. (but they go home at some point! -anyone with grandchildren knows EXACTLY what I mean)
- Personal Interests (favorite activities, movies, shows, books, music, etc.)
- A Deep and Abiding Interest in the U.S. Civil War, World War II with emphasis on the Soviet Union and it's epic struggle with Hitler's Germany, and some of the more obscure areas of History, with emphasis on Eastern Europe . (the natural function of a 98G Russian ). Also I still have family back on the Rez, in South Dakota and the usual esoteric involvements that all entails.
I Cant really recall the last good movie I saw.
At Buckeye GameFest VIII, David Mignerey and I, as the Soviets, playing the upcoming OCS "Baltic Gap".

Yes, missing the usual CSW...TGIF, and it should be back !
I also miss The Marketplace folder ! ! !
It's amazing to me how much I used ConSimWorld. I use WebGrognards alot; BGG Very little. The Forums at CSW just have SO MUCH stuff on the games and the systems that it really puts a crimp in my playing any of my old games. There are some games that I do have "Up-to-Date" errata, etc compiled and stored with the game. But I noticed this past week as I pulled out some older games that I would automatically go to the games folder and see what was there. An… Continue

And......I told you so......
I was thinking about letting it go a Full Year since I had last posted, but No.
I do get involved with various things. I do try and keep up with CSW The Main page.
But, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND " HOW " people manage to keep "Blogs". The mere Act of doing things "Blog-Worthy" keeps me from being able to Blog! Then I see that not only do people manage to write in their own Blogs, they also manage to keep track of Other people's Blogs !!!
Then, there are the Tangents.

Busy
Quite busy. TWO Car accidents: my wife (not major, only a rear bumper to replace) and my step-daughter (her van -which we co-signed for- utterly demolished; she is not hurt, at all, fortunately,).
I am now 2nd Vice-Commander for my American Legion Post. Always a nice feeling, winning elections.

George W, Bush is going to buy me a Wargame...or three.....or four....
My wife and I have had our taxes done, refund received, since the end of January. Now, of course, all talk is centered on the Rebate Checks to be sent out in May. Due to the Way Life Goes, My wife put her name first on the Tax Return. Had she put MY NAME first, we would be receiving the Rebate Direct Deposit on May 2nd. Her SSAN last two digits are -OF COURSE- "99".
But, that's alright. It merely gives me more time to see what Game I want to buy...
FIRST !!!!

- It's worse than forgetting about 9/11. 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).

- 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?

David Mignerey said… - Daniel,
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.

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…
