A Story for Halloween (PG-13)
The Assassin
by Mark H. Walker
The assassin sat at the bar and watched. It was closing time, but the couple would need to be told, need to be tapped on the shoulder and told. Heck, they would probably need to be separated with some type of pneumatic tool and then told.
You felt that way once, her tiny voice whispered.
Several kids shuffled out the last slow tune on the tiny, saw-dust covered dance floor, the braver guys cupping soft parts that… Continue

Flintlock... a Publisher's Review
Played Cowpens last night. I really enjoyed myself. The game really provides the feel of commanding the arnies and wheeling the troops into place.
The turnless sytem is great fun. Not because it is supposedly turnless... you do in fact take turns, but because it rewards the better historical leaders, and allows table-top commanders to boldly attempt to seize the initiative or to play it safe. Simply put, after a commander's activation, the ownling player may attempt to activate… Continue

Hoplites of Hellenes (part 3)
Last week I examined the elite hoplites of the city-state of Sparta. This week, I want to continue our tour of the Aegean and look at the armies of Sparta’s two most important allies: the Arcadians and the Boeotians.
The Arcadian army consists of three blocks of hoplites: A 3-step (3CV), and two 2-step (2CV) blocks. Each of the Arcadian hoplites has agility rating of “C” and a strength rating of ‘2.’ As I stated in part 1, most… Continue

TV Worth Watching
Generally, I don't watch network TV. I watch sports, and that is about it. I've never been able to sit all the way through American Idol, or Survivor, or any reality show for that matter. The closest thing I can watch is reruns of Parole Board on A&E. For some reason watching career criminals sharpen their skills as career liars in order to get out among the decent people is more engaging than the real reality… Continue

Hoplites of Hellenes (Part 2)
Last week I began a series of articles which I hope will A) demonstrate what a great game Hellenes is, and B) provide some strategy insights.
As I stated in part 1, Hellenes provides players with a wide variety of units and options. The number one unit of importance in the game is the hoplite unit. In this article, I’d like to take the reader on a tour of the Aegean. We’ll examine the various city-states of Greece who were belligerents in the Peloponnesian war, and we… Continue

Hoplites of Hellens (Part 1)
Hellenes, Craig Besinque’s new block game on the Peloponnesian War contains a wide variety of units which provide players with a wide variety of capabilities. In the next series of articles, I will attempt to break down the characteristics, capabilities, and the strategies behind the use of the variety of units in Hellenes.
The two belligerents of the Peloponnesian War are represented by red and blue blocks: red for Sparta and her allies; blue for Athens and her empire.… Continue

Military PT
An Exposition on the Subject of the Armed Forces.
The Navy and the Air Force decided to have a C7 canoe race on the River Thames. Both teams practiced hard and long to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Navy won by a mile. Afterwards, the Air Force team became very discouraged and depressed. The officers of the Air Force team decided that the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found.
A "Logisitics Team," made up of senior officers was formed… Continue
