OJ said something last night that really hit me: we can always play the more complicated games, but games like "Fighting Sail" are a great introduction to those that perhaps don't know just how much fun tabletop miniatures can be.
I'm going to try and remember that going forward as we pick other games and system.
Thanks to those that came to play as well as those that hurled abuse...I mean stopped in. It really was a close game to the end.
This, of course and as ever, leaves me wondering what's for afters. My present thought is to try another Age of Sail game, same system, and re-fight the Battle of the Nile.
I also, however, have:
Sharp Practice 2: 1809
Isandlwana (Although as Vance pointed out last night, that's going to take some commitment from folks to do right).
"What a Tanker!": I, at some point, must demand Vance defend his title at Barkmann's Corner.
A battle that looks a lot like Omdurman ("Men Who Would Be Kings")
Thoughts?
