@SpaceRumsfeld And lesson learned. Defend Hawaii (and the fleet) as your first and most important priority. Just do it.

Another Christmas Cookie day with my daughter — family traditions!

@markherman54 Also if you google for “GMT Churchill Rules” the first hit is a link to the original rules hosted on the GMT. Also boardgamegeek. Probably the reason o never realized there were second edition rules.

[Don Stone @DonStoneCH]

@markherman54 Ah, that makes sense. In your experience do people often misquote the second edition rule? It seems quite clear. I’d think most of the “misquoting” is from diligent careful readers.

Traces of War by Vuca. Calling it after turn five with the Soviets close to victory. Very fun and easy to play game. Must try it again.

@unityofcommand Typo on the chart — conference five is labeled Oct 1942

[Don Stone @DonStoneCH]

@ChrisDokish I hesitate to bring it up … but this success correlates with the closing of the O … causality?

D-Day at Omaha Beach designed by John Butterfield. Catastrophic loss on turn 13 with 8 reduced regiments in the 29th division. Fantastic game.

@agauntpanda @markherman54 Ignorance, now corrected.

Second game, also “seemed” to be going well until the imperialist powers swarmed the Nautilus in Act III. Imperialist Powers Victory.

[Don Stone @DonStoneCH]

First game of Nemo’s War. Was going well until a few bad treasures and a last disastrous snake eyes on on incite check pushed me to the notoriety limit. Defeat! Nautilus sinks and Captain Nemo list to history.

Quiet moment in crazy crowded Gatlinburg TN — 2 hour drive in traffic from Knoxville and another 1.5 hours to park — but a fun town tonwalk around — and sitting down for a nice dinner with the family now.

@wargamehq Two. And I used to joke that I had to give up playing ASL because it used both slots.

[Don Stone @DonStoneCH]

Tried #ThroughTheAges again, two-player, easy AI — won by 7 — but still have no real idea what I’m doing or why I won — will try again soon.

[Don Stone @DonStoneCH]

Not a clue what I’m doing in the well-regarded #ThroughTheAges — against easy AI — will have to fix that.

STUFT on turn 16! All three helicopters but not a single Fair or Rain/Snow turn after. And two gale turns after the landing. Some fortunate Argentine Discipline results retreated everyone into Stanley. But as expected, ran out of time. 0-5.

Trying to beat Mrs Thatcher’s War. Fourth serious try. This particular game is mostly going well, EXCEPT for the clear weather on turns 7, 8, and 9, i.e., no landings at San Carlos yet. And now, live, the weather roll for turn 10 ... 7 means rain ... a little hope remains.
