My weekend will start with some ASL with a friend.  After that, I have the entire week off work, and am looking forward to the break.

I’ve spent half my life’s earning on wargames, women, and drink. The rest I wasted.

Just received today; the '1916' expansion to 'In the Trenches' so I'll be giving that a look over.

Sounds good! UCG is/was well into the Bolt Action stuff, but I haven't seen him around for a while, not even on FB which is strange.

Took a half day today, so I can drive out to UMass Amherst to pick my son up for Thanksgiving break. Hopefully the snow is not too bad out there and the roads are clear. Turning to rain here, so roads are pretty much clear. Was eyeing Axis and Allies Videos on YouTube last night, to see if I could attempt my first 'boardgame'.. If that fails will probably continue my Total War Attila campaign as the muslims from Southern Spain. Maybe a little Polaris Sector as well.

Not sure yet. I only know I'm going to see Alan Parsons in Annapolis on Sunday.

Cap'n Darwin had some pix on FB of his younger daughter chatting with Alan Parsons at a meet-and-greet for a recent concert.

There is actually an opportunity to meet Alan, take pictures with him, get autograph, etc. but they wanted an extra $100 bucks for it. I decided to pass.  :(

Today's ASL game at the end of the first player turn.  Another great time.   :bigthumb:

My wife is away for the weekend, and we're supposed to get a lot of rain from the Nor'easter, so I'm going to go wild and crazy and continue to clip Beyond Valor counters.  I may set up a TV in my game room to help pass the time.



I finally finished clipping all the BV counters.  My wrist is sore.   :buck2:

Another weekend of War in the House. I played the Paint Moulding and Doors scenario again. Great stuff.  :(
