Eric,
Saw your post. A saturday night gaming group in perry Hall works for me!! What do you guys play?? I currently meet every Monday night at my house in NE Balto (in Hamilton off of Harford Rd) with 5 other guys. right now we have a game of Vietna…
This purpose of this group is to create a census of gamers in the Baltimore-DC-Virginia area, and to facilitate finding opponents, news and events, etc.
I lost the initiative on turn 8 in my game. It's been many years ago that I last played GS and I can't seem to remember this ever happening before. Is this an "end of the world" thing for the proud Soviet armies?? I know he'll be putting some part o…
Of course.
On Monday night Tehran and Konark fell - a good turn for the Reds. Having Konark is especially sweet as I've got two airbases to fly in and I'll put 3 MIG 23's on intercept on one base and two MIG 23's and a Backfire on offensive on the other. The Y…
Mark,
Interesting. I'm to start turn 7 of scenario 2 at our gaming section tonight. One problem I see is that if you use the optional rule about subs becoming undetected immediately upon being out of any unit's detection range then how could you lau…
Where you guys playing??
A series responsible for many a strained marriage and relationship, not to mention the severe restrictions it gives us in reduced living space when set up. Why do we do it? Certainly we must be a special breed worthy of our own group. Enter!
I'm wondering if there is anyone interested in a game of Gulf Strike in the NE Baltimore area. I host a gaming group at my house every Monday evening and have tried without success until recently to get a game going. I'm now playing scenario one jus…

- Hey Steven,
I am not close to Baltimore, but I am wondering what scenario you would want to play in Gulf Strike, do you have the expansion Dessert Shield? Did you come up with or find a a way to game the Iraqi Freedom?

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…
Yes, this was a creepy ad. I looked at the Audi website to compare this car to others. Oddly enough, you are unable to compare it to the VW SportWagon TDI, which gets exactly the same mileage.
Lately, I've been mad at Newsweek, due to issues of bias that are beyond the realm of this group. However, tonight I read a very good article on its web site, regarding layoffs.I was once in a meeting at a former employer, and we were going over th…
I second the motion. May his service in the defense to his country be what matters in the hereafter.
The game on the development table now is Rob Markham's Saratoga. This game covers the decisive battle of the American Revolution tactically, with two scenarios. One addresses the Battle of Freeman's Farm on September 19, and the other is on the Ba…
I'll just say "R.I.P.", lest I stray into the political realm.
I'd love to see more open source work, but I'm especially thinking of computer games. That would allow not just designers, but the developers, to look "under the hood" to see what makes a good game work. Even if that education is taken to commercial…
I haven't seen much in the way of Napoleonic games as of late, and I think the COA system always lagged a bit because the rules changed quite a bit and there have been lots of questions surrounding a new, more playable system. I think if someone can…
What I think will be coolest about the concept is the use of touch displays to pick up and move counters, etc. and swipe the display with a finger to quickly scroll and view the map. All this while having a live chat window or audio option to talk t…
I have a feeling I'm going to be doing some sort of live, hot seat playing on an iPad-like device within the next few years...should be interesting.
I just finished Pat Frank's 'Alas Babylon'. Interesting novel with mention of the old Grumman F-11F Tigers, B-47s, B-58s and more. A worthwhile read.
Stephen, I love all these game systems too. I will say I think OCS is the "holy grail" of operational-level simulation--with the stipulation that I rarely have time/space to play even one of the more simple titles (e.g., KOREA: THE FORGOTTEN WAR or…
Will wargaming migrate from Desktop Publishing (DTP) to true Freeware/Open Source designs? We see this with VALOR & VICTORY, a squad-level WWII tactical ground combat system that's been out on the internet since 2008. I have no idea how many people…
What's interesting is I am very eco friendly and huge on recycling. But a number of years ago Montgomery County until it was "outed" planned on having police check trash to see if people were throwing any recycleables....
