What's on your table right now?

I may have gone a bit crazy this weekend...

[Bison]

I am so freaking jealous of your copy of SPQR.

[panzerde]

It wasn't exactly cheap, but I still count myself fortunate to have found it for a not unreasonable price. Unpunched, too.


Looking all of this over, along with Hoplite I'm guessing I have several years of gaming here.

Well I'm in for the P500 on GMT, so it should reach the 500 goal in the next year or so.  :)

Found this at Goodwill's on-line store courtesy of a tip from Brant.

Cover's a bit scuffed, but everything else is pretty well mint.  My son and I had at one another and, after a pair of Immelman maneuvers left us facing away from each other, he powered around and blasted me from the sky.  I missed this one...

Nice!  O0

[LongBlade]

I'm pretty sure I played that once when I was eight or ten.

Excellent find!

We still play it. I have that version and a friend has the Power House version. Great fun to have four books flying at once.

We used to play standing in the backyard. Each player would walk out his maneuver and it really helped with visualization of where you were in relation to each other.

Fantastic game.

I remember playing that when I was a snotty little pre-teen as one of my first entries into wargaming.  I recall just flipping through the book and choosing my next move based solely on how cool the drawing in the flip book looked.

There were some guys that I used to play Dawn Patrol with who had big plans to combine the two but I don't think that idea ever met with any success.

I still have my copy of the Ace of Aces Wingleader game (WWII era instead of WWI). My buddy had the above WWI version. Great times with both of them.

I picked up an old copy of the cold war Jet Age version a few years ago out of curiosity.   :)   The books were in mint condition, but they were rather old (and thick) that I was a bit worried about breaking the spines with use.

It's a game and meant to be played! Play it! 
Our copy of the WWI Powerhouse series has pages loose but we still play it.
You can play the game without opening the books enough to crack the spine.

1:  IMA play "Ace of Aces" at the park tomorrow as part of a memorial walk for one of my aldermen who passed suddenly a few weeks ago.  He liked wargames -- we played our share of Battle Academy and a few others -- and his older brother was a tester for SPI back in the day.  He showed me all kinds of wild, "first generation" kit.

2:  Doug tells Jim about on-line store.  Jim finds store.  Jim browses store's holdings. Jim finds the following and the rest is part of the story of the weekend (honestly can't believe this one evaded me all these years):

Wow, Cyrano. That looks awesome. Makes me drool just thinking about it.

And so it begins...
