What's a Camp Con and why do you need so much water?

Looks like a meth house...LOL

I've been seriously tempted by Tank Duel, but its lack of campaign or RPG/crew progression elements is turning me off.

Never mind about tank duels - haven't you got night fighter missions to fly?  ;)

Oh yes. I have two more sorties written but they're rather dull. I just haven't had a chance to post 'em yet (they're on my work laptop).

 :bigthumb: I have to say that so far, its one of the best AAR's we've had. Just hope the UCG does some more Crusader Kings - that'll give you a run for your money  ;)

Or his Gladiator one...can't recall the name of that one, but that was a fun read too.

Wish I had the time/motivation to do another Krynn AAR. That was a lot of fun to write up.

Oh man I’d forgotten all about these 2!!

The Parma one stopped after an update obliterated all the save files

The gladiator one was a hoot been able to list you all

I do mean to get round to another - maaaaaybe CK3 - at the moment I’m neck deep in endless space 2 or steel division both with limited AAR ops unless you go narrative - I’m starting a new ES2 campaign soon so I’ll give it a whirl

BottosCon is on this weekend in a suburb of Vancouver (New Westminster).  It's a 3-day gaming con that focuses mainly on wargames but there are also miniatures and (gasp, even a few Euros). 

I had planned to host a game of World at War: 85 but the Kickstarter was delayed and the delivery date is still not even close.  We contacted LNL and they agreed to ship me a starter set so I could run that at the Con but that never materialized either.  Oh well.  I also hoped to run a game of War Room but for whatever reason, deliveries of the game to Canada are still MIA (everywhere else in the world got their copies 2 months ago).  So, the plan now is to host a game of Heroes of the Falklands on Friday afternoon and a game of UBOOT on Friday evening.   I'll host a game of Heroes of Normandy on Saturday morning, take part in a game of Wings of Glory WWI Saturday afternoon, and run a game of Cruel Seas on Saturday evening.  Sunday I'll host a game of Tenkatoitsu for the day.  Should be fun but I think I might have over-committed (as I do every year).

Did a few unboxing articles on some LnL product and have more side work to do this weekend for gaming, so that'll probably be my "weekend gaming."

I did pull B-17 Flying Fortress Leader out and put it on my game table but I don't think I'm going to do anything with it.
