Title: September 22, 2021 -- Market-Garden for "Memoir '44"?
Post by: Cyrano on September 21, 2021, 09:07:04 PM
It may be an tick or some such, but I really want to see if the Allies have a chance with this one.

Two tries say no.

Care to see if there's another outcome in there?

This is the big OVERLORD battle.

1900 CDT?

Sounds interesting, but I might not be around. Not sure and don't want to commit if I'm not.

That bridge maybe just be a little to far.

If you've still got room, I'll give it a go.

Chrono pulled out a close win last night. 13-11 i think was the final score.

Proving that he's a better general than Monty.  :groovy:

It is SERIOUSLY crazy how popular last night's game is proving on-line.

Especially for a Wednesday.

I know we had the topic elsewhere about C&C:N, but Memoir '44 remains an accessible game covering everyone's favorite conflict.  Of course its abstractions and simplifications are not to everyone's liking, but it may be a sui generis gateway wargame.

And thanks to Chrono for proving Vance and the other Allied players in the past were just weak.

You did not just...  :censored:

Big words from the Guy who only reads the rules while others actually play the games.

Definitely something a weak person would say.

This derision is, of course, directed at you for eschewing our company.

B_C was dog wrestling, it would seem, and Tuna has become infirm.

While we were waiting for you to get back on line, we talked about C&C games being a beer & pretzels type game.  All agreed that a) it's nice to sometimes sit down and play a quick easy game.  b) C&C games may have a pretty simple rule set, but they offer a lot of challenges.  c) sometimes in the middle of a busy workweek, it's nice to have a quick fun game.
