I've got Congo Merc hitting the table this week - as soon as I put the table back together!

(I just moved the old dining room table out to the man cave, and have to put the legs back on it)

Maybe a little mini-AAR on that one Bartheart?   ;)

Blood Bowl just came off and Force on Force Mogadishu scenario will be going on it tonight or tomorrow.

Band of Brothers, SE and GP, and a little bit of 'Gettysburg 150' - a very simple game, but not bad.

  Hoplites on the floor, but on the table above them, maybe some SBDs intercepting Mavises or something.  (Bomb vs Bomber should make the Fighting Wings rules simpler, maybe).

I just picked up Risk: Battlefield Rogue on sale for $7.50 last night at Target. That one hits the table soon

For a bomber the SBD Dauntless had some serious take-down power with 2x50-cal over the engine and twin 30's on a flex mount in the back. It was probably the most maneuverable and heavily armed single engine purpose-built bomber of WW2. IIRC, the Dauntless shot down more enemy planes that it itself suffered in combat losses. One SBD pilot shot down two Zeros and rammed a third, destroying it, all during the same dogfight. Still, the Mavis was festooned with defensive armament of its own, including a 20mm cannon, so it could be an interesting fight.

3 Zeros might be hard to simulate, but  I think I can get a Mavis flying along.  And once that works, add an SBD.

I have "A Blood-Red Banner" coming from a game store, hopefully this week. Another State Of Siege system from VP Games, detailing the siege of the Alamo.

Hell yeah.  Been intending to break out Mage Knight again for some solo play.


I may end up playing Kemet next, with family.  Haven't done that in quite awhile.

DennisS

I have Pandemic, and Space Infantry..the latter is still in its box, unopened! I just have too many games.

I finally put away Carriers!..another great game, although every time I play it, I have to relearn the rules.

Arctic Blast

Messing about with Heroes of Normandie. And still in the initial stages of the "How the Hell do I store Duel of Ages II Collector's Edition?" game as well.

Cyrano

King of Tokyo.

Preparing for the GenCon toonament...

Definitely want to get in a round of Tank vs. Tank as well as CnC: Napoleonics, though.

Best,
