A group for sharing and creating vassal log files of games to share with others
Finally picked this up and can't wait to get it on the table ...
Finally finished Battle for Spain and thought it was well done. Sort of concurrently read Homage to Catalonia, which I thought was excellent, especially since it gives you some perspective on Orwell and how it affected his later writings. Also read…
Registration is open to anyone. (Well, except Hawkeye.)
Dammit! Banned again! I so need a better publicist ...
For those who loved it when GDW came on the scene with their East Front game DNO .And then all those other games on subjects and campaigns/battles SPI & AH weren't touching.
Hold the line by Worthington games. A GREAT simple revolutionary war game, similar to Command and Colors, but uses Action Points instead of cards. You can move any unit you want with your points. (Similar to Conflict of heroes)
This thread on BGG discusses the differences between editions:

Mike, what are you basing your assessment of the Afghan troops on?
Can anyone speak knowingly as to the differences between editions? I'm in the market for a copy but I'm wondering what edition is worth getting.
Thanks,
Hawkeye
I got it partially punched on eBay and about 12 hours later my copy of GWAS Jutland sold for the same price on BGG so it must have been my destiny to have it!
Anyway ... getting around to playing it will be a whole other kind of kismet ...
This will be a forum for the upcoming game of the French war in Algeria during the fifties (Khyber Pass Games). It will be one of few wargames dealing with the modern warfare dilemma: Unless you win the population you will not win at all.

That would be issue #14 ... My e-mail is Warhawkeye at aol.
Miniature Games are definitely a distinct genre. If you have trouble calling your playing surface a MAP and you are sticking a little man on that surface it belongs here.

Good, many people bail out for whatever reason and eventually they all come back to this great hobby. I'm on my way to work, so have a nice day.

Yeah, that seems fine. Maybe around 4Pm for a few hours. Let's confirm tomorrow with particulars; my email:

Cool - maybe Saturday will be better.
Not this Friday, as the wife and I have to pick up grandchildren from daycare at 5PM and hang with them until 8PM. That little chore is variable once weekly.
I am not an artist but the sketches are good. They look like wood cuts or acid etchings and then printed. I will show them to my brother, a graphic artist. He should find them interesting. Check out his Civil War sketches are my page. Enjoyed the ph…
I got to check my schedule with the boss when she gets home. Would Friday night work for you?
Finished Robert Clary's book on the Mexican War and have just started Noah Trudeau's classic, "Gettysburg: A Tale of Courage". Also am reading Kati Marton's earlier work on Raoul Wallenberg, "Wallenberg". Her latest tome, "Enemy of the People" is su…
If you find some PM hours this weekend we can start the campaign game and I can try out some Allied strategy.
Well then I shall continue to "ping" away. The use of multi-decks (Operational, Limited War and Total war) should provide some interesting variations with the historical record.
Robert,
I hope was hoping that she could crochet herself some common sense, but once again I hope too much.
To say the least.
Thanks for this Jim. One can only hope she will be charged with child abuse but in this topsy-turvy, "feel good" world this woman will be excused for her poor taste in clothing selection. And to imagine this is the best way she could put her sewing…
Hang in their Robert. These card-driven games are fun. The mechanisms for movement and battle are fairly easy. Like you stated, and to paraphrase Shakespeare, "the strategy is the thing". Only play of the games can comfort one that their approach is…
I clicked on the link and was truely shocked! This is not going to go over well.
A number of years ago I played around with a political/conflict game concept that explored the decade prior to the beginning of the American Civil War. My early draft was titled "Bitter Harvest - 1854" and did not incorporate strategy cards, which m…
I'm plugging away at the rules (Pursuit of Glory); getting a feel for the various phases of a turn, action rounds and the reliance (which I like) to using strategy as the prime mover of events. I appreciate GMT's publication of their rules. If this…
