Near the end of the scenario.  I was Germans.  Russians had to take the building in the lower left.

What was funny was the melee on the left side (under the red counter).  We tried to envision what was really happening - a street brawl out in the open between the German machine gun nest in the building, and two Russian squads across the street.

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

Driving across the province, about 4 hours, tomorrow to our annual winter gaming weekend with pals from high school. Lots of beer, board games and xbox… very little sleep.
We'll be playtesting a game that one of my friends has been working on. It's come a long way since the first test. Not a war game per se but it does have combat... called "strenuous negotiations".
I'll try and take some pics.

I have VPG's The Barbarossa Campaign, Gloomhaven, Hitler's Reich, and The Wrath of Ashardalon all on my fold-out game table. I can't decide what I want to do. I know I need to continue the Fortune and Glory AAR, so that might be next.

I"ll be at Winter Offensive this weekend.

I"ll be at Winter Offensive this weekend.

Winter Offensive was great.  It was my first major tournament.  Played some ASL, bought some ASL, and watched some ASL (and other games).  I liked the vibe, so I will have to do this again sometime.

Then I rounded out the weekend by smashing my little finger on my right hand.  I was trying to set up my new bike trainer.  It has a heavy flywheel, which I was spinning trying to get it to pair with my iPad.  I'm not familiar with it, and somehow my hand got caught between the spinning flywheel and something else.  I dislodged the nail and broke the finger.  That was painful.  Since it involves my hand, my GP wants me to follow up with an ortho, but I doubt that anything can be done, and I'll have a nice ugly finger for several months.

ASL for me.  I think we're playing a Sicily scenario.
