    I think we’ll be bugging out a little early (7-8pm) to have some time to ourselves (a rare night without a child) and GOT is still high on my list – if we can arrange that to start in the area of mid-to-late […]

    I am. I find the different descriptions of length interesting – Rod says he gets in sessions in 3-hours, Chuck reports 5-6. I’d certainly expect a beginner game to be slower than usual, though.

    If I may be so […]

    Bob – I think early GOT will probably favor DWD, but I think I’m in Brittania early so I may try to set up another GOT later in the day – and don’t mind the standard variant.

    For Brittania – my arrival will […]

    I think Bill was pushing for morning because organization can be difficult later in the day. We shall see – I’m OK with whatever the others think.

    Any possible interest in a session of War of the Ring, btw? […]

    I could get into Brittania. I am always interested in GOT also, which sounds like it’s also running early – we may have to organize another session later in the day if that happens.

    Game length can be a funny thing. I had a 6-hour session of Fury of Dracula at Lobster Trap. Normally it’s 2-3 hours and the longest one I had before that was about 4.5.

    Indeed – definitely a tough decision. Britannia has been on my want-to-try list for a while, but OTOH GOT is my number one want-to-play right now.

    Not necessarily – they don’t have to run at the same time. There can be one game and then another afterwards.

    I’m just saying there be options.

    Perhaps. I do want to learn it, but if it’s that long I might pass in favor of shorter stuff.

    Besides which, who says there can only be one GOT?

    Game of Thrones and Memoir ’44 are always high on my list. I have much stuff for Memoir and we can arrange for an Overlord scenario if there is interest.

    Chuck: Brittania is on my list of games I’d like to […]

    For all the C&C fans out there, Richard Borg announced a new one, to be published by Zvezda: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/blogpost/9380/richard-borg-on-samurai-battles

    Interesting in that it will include two sets of rules, C&C: Samurai and Art of Tactic. This will include high quality Zvezda miniatures which is a first for the C&C series.

      Chuck and I were just talking about this game last night. Have my eye on it! Looks really good. Surprised it is not being published by GMT. Must be the minatures….

        Yeah, I think that’s it. Zvezda makes a lot of 1/72 minis… There’s also the alternate rules set (Art of Tactic) that I think was previously published by Zvezda. Really doesn’t look like you can go wrong on this one – C&C is a great fit for Samurai error warfare, the minis are beautiful AND you get an alternate set of rules using the same…[Read more]

          I agree the figs look great. I am not familar with the Art of Tactics rules. The more I see…the more tempted I am. Plus it is Samurai’s!

    No preference from me, Rod.

    In addition to the usual fun, we’ll be bringing our Memoir ’44 collection in the hopes of setting up an Overlord game or two. I think there is at least one scenario in the […]

    1812 sounds interesting – like Bill I’ve been getting interested in checking out some wargames of late.

    I was thinking more along the lines of what Tyler said – I think it probably has more to do with accessibility of people, rather than accessibility of games.

    Speaking for myself for a moment, I am perfectly “at […]

    So a quick weather/road update (we live just up the road from the site of WW). As of about 6pm, the roads in and around downtown Barre were completely fine. It looks like there has been a little bit more […]
