My reward for taking the dogs for a snowy walk at 11pm, and a check of the mailbox? the siege of Budapest.

Invoice, destroyed. Time to dig in...


I received my copy last week and Red October/Red Barricades print/reprint should be coming along soon as well.  Tons of ASL goodness!

Long past time to get the band back together.

Love the linen box on the re-print and them counters is pretty.

Ligny arrives later this week.

I preordered Red Factories as well. Not in any rush for it now that FB has landed.

I take it you've hear a rumor that it is heading to the printer soon?

One of the guys in my guild is playing this at the moment. Looks absolutely gorgeous.

I'm on the proofing team for it (and the eASLRB).  Chas sent out the proof of the map for us to go through to check for errors.  The scenario cards and Ch. O stuff should be coming soon.  So it's not about to go to the printer but it's moving along to the point that I'd say within a month it'll be printing.

It is a gorgeous looking game, what ruleset do you like to use?

You guys and your Napoleonics...why not just make your torture more obvious and take up ASL?  :D

@GJK:  I've got an older bound version of Le Reglement that I've used for years.  Part of me wants to try the Reglement 11 out of the box, but those that have tried the M-L speak well of it...although a few certainly turn up their noses a bit.  I'll probably just go with 11 since it's unlikely I'll be able to persuade anyone not in the Fraternite that the M'L is more approachable.

I've found that the M-L rules are written better, much more clear and concise the RegsXXX but I'd miss some of the details of the Regs rules (intricacies of cav charges among a few others).

Hey!  Don't you have some dice to roll to see what the fate of a B-17 crew is?


And what happened to your adventures with "Carrier"?  I'm looking forward to an AAR from you on that one!

I'll be getting B-17 to the table this weekend, I'm sure.

Carrier, I'm not too certain of. I need to read through the rules. I want to try it though. I started cornering the counters in anticipation, but holy shit there's a LOT of frigging counters in that game. It would be well over 3000 punches to get them all rounded...and it's not rounding well on some of them.

I have a DnD campaign starting Monday and I've not played in a long while...the others in the group started last Monday night but I was out of town for work. So I'm still trying to figure out the background for my 5e Tiefling Monk and flesh out details for something I've not done in 25-some-odd years. So I've got that to do, too.

5E Tiefling...dear Lord...

I don't know if you've seen this link before but I've started to create the tables into DHTML for use as a play-aid for Carrier.  Not all the tables are done and some are a little rough around the edges but I think that I have more detailed air-attack procedures working nicely:

I need to get back to that YAWP* one of these days.
