Here come's this week's news!
https://www.armchairdragoons.com/news/global-shipping-tabletop-gaming-tuesdaynewsday-8-24-21/

Quote
Steve Jackson has re-released Munchkin Princesses for all your back-stabbing, double-crossing, high-heels-and-dress-wearing princesses in your life.  And there’s the conveniently-timed Munchkin Dragons expansion getting a reprint, too.  No word if there’s a “Donkey” card or a green Scottish ogre in there somewhere.

Nah, mate, what we want is a mounted-infantry-in-a-comfy-chair card.

Dragoons are everywhere!

And the Armchair Dragoons pulled out a victory in the inaugural Sail & Shot tournament, thanks to the fine seamanship of Dr Peter Perla, the debonair leadership of our man Tolstoi, and the cannonball magnetism of McGuire!

I...hey!

In my defense, everything was going great until the first turn, when we went into a Zoom room for a brief discussion of strategy. Because modern computing is an exercise in eye-hand-coordination,  I clicked "Leave Meeting" rather than "Leave Room" and had to scramble to get back into the meeting before time ran out. In the process of that, I ordered a turn to starboard instead of port. And then, Dr. Perla, whose marksmanship is amazing, hit Britannia about three times.

Jolly Good Show Tolstoi and McGuire!  :applause:   That's putting your balls to good use....cannon balls to good use I mean.  :doh:  Seems Dragoons are equally lethal at sea or on land.

Thank you! I hope to get the AAR up soon. Capt. McGuire and Capt. Perla were key in getting us the final victory. I just seemed to get in the way a lot.  ;D

I almost did the very same thing. Zoom's UX team should change that set up to prevent anything like that from happening.

Yes, Capt. Perla was on fire during that game.  He scored 16 hits in total, of which I think 6 or 8 of those hits were on us!  :biggrin:

I saw where they posted that on Facebook tonight. I love how they do that about 12 hours after we published Tuesday newsday ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fantasy. Elf. Navy.  Preorder now.



I kinda hate you right now.  I was happier before I knew this game existed.  >:(
