Two chapters to go in Enemy at the Gates but I've set that aside to read Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clark at the moment.

- Thank you for taking the time to write up and post pics from BGG.CON! It looks like so much fun that Chad and I are now debating adding it to our "must attend" convention list.

- Sounds like you had fun! And, yes, Rich is a great player - he's also a really great guy, so I don't mind so much losing a game to him. :0)

- Sweet! Well done!
My "little" guy is 15 and is taller than me already (which took some work!) and can whoop my behind in wargames some days. I came home from work all summer to find him reading rulebooks with maps on the game table ready to go. Such a proud Mom moment! :0)
If you get your rematch, let me know how it goes!

Mike said… - Hi again, Cindy. I enjoyed your ORIGINS pictures. Also the Stalingrad playtesting that Steve conducted. Are you planning on attending ROC-CON? If there was interest in playing some of the games I've recently purchased, I was thinking of attending.
I ran a workshop at a conference in Appleton last year. Is that far from you?

Wittmann said… - I did attend, Gen Smith was still in charge then. I was none to happy at first, but I am glad I stuck it out. It's a great school. I just met some folks that were thinking about sending there son. I think I made up there mind to do it. I know they will be pleased.
I have CC on my wish list for my birthday.(fingers crossed) but with times being a little tough for folks It woild be much appreciated if you bring yours just in case.

- Hello I am from the Milwaukee area, I know Racine.Kenosha pretty well as I have allot of family there. I occasionaly play 1/32nd on the beach near Highway 11. Had a group playing at a private home for years, but job relocations and general life changes ended the group. I have heard quite a bit about Combat Commander, Id like to try it. I'd like to attend a event at Rockheads. See you there.

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…
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…
