SPI's old Sixth Fleet. IF...you can ignore the game system it can be a game, never a simulation by any standard.
I bought the expansion to Twilight Imperium 3rd edition today.

- Super Fantastic Gaming Hour was the voted on name (from a list) that our local Euro-gaming group uses. We meet at various friend's houses on a nearly monthly rate. SFGH has a guild on BoardGameGeek.com. I'm hoping to get CC:E played at the next gathering.

- from what i have read about the lastest Cobra version, i will not be getting it, sounds like a complete do over and since its my favorite game already, why do I need a different game, I was jsut looking for a better map and maybe better counters.

Chris Fawcett said… - Yeah, I'm sorry about that, Skip. It turns out that I have a week-long annual meeting for my office and it's in Chicago the week you mentioned. I'll have to be searching for some local gaming action, myself.

I picked up an updated edition of P. W. Singer's 'Corporate Warriors' at Kinokuniya last night. Hopefully, this doesn't have that silly, flippant tone of 'Wired for War' which was attempting a cross-over mainstream appeal for increased sales. There…
1100 sees the Union capture the initiative with Buford's division getting the first move. We see troopers make some minor moves to better man their breastwork defenses but no agressive action. A staggered line of breastworks dot the east side of Her…
I thought the only possible mitigation could come from severe mental illness, or perhaps a cerebral parasite that's eating away at the tastefulness center of the brain.
I suppose the bad taste of it can be ameliorated by assuming they're for Halloween. Such assumptions are occasionally required to tolerate ones own species.
My apologies for my delayed response. I usually get comment notices sent to my e-mail account. This time I didn't.
I never heard of this one until I came across the display in Vancouver.
Here's a wikipedia entry I found:

Yes, this one's a Sherman. The RAM in the other picture was based on the Sherman chassis but built in Canada. I'm sorry I didn't respond earlier, normally I get response notices sent to my e-mail, but somehow I didn't receive your comment.
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…
