E.g.
Very nice Nigel, will check back for the exciting conclusion.

Playing Battles of the Hundred Days
Here's my first solo run through of OSG's battle of the Hundred Days in living memory - I probably last played it when it first came out thirty years ago, long before the days of the affordable digital cameras!
TURN 1. 14-15 June, 1815
Napoleon starts off map, with three commanders (himself plus Grouchy and Ney) and six corps.
The only manoeuvre units which can appear on the game map itself are leaders:
- Commanders capable of commanding other leaders (in the same or adjacent hexes) up to the… Continue

Pretty spooky - they were in my first few titles too; possibly preceded by Outreach

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…
