Played Island Siege again with my son, twice. We both like this game, it is tricky. He snuck up and won the second game out of nowhere. I was one turn away from winning and then . Check out the Kickstarter link and print out the cards to try it out. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Just got my copy of Commands & Colors Napoleonics: The Russian Army Expansion tonight! This is a big deal, as the GMT site was assaulted and messed up for a few days. But they had already printed out their mailing lists and labels, and the game got through. Congratulations to GMT for nice work. Now I've got 20 new scenarios to play with a brand new green block army.
Another reason its a big deal is that some don't care for the Spanish/Peninsula War--although I have enjoyed the basic game and Spanish Expansion set there so far--and this is the first of the large coalition "mainland Europe" sets. This period was designed and playtested by Richard Borg years ago, even though its just started being published in the last two years. In an unprecedented game publishing event, the Austrians are due out in July and the Prussians toward the end of 2013, for a Triple Crown of publishing three expansions for a a single game system all in the same calendar year! And we're also looking forward to the 'Grand Bataille' larger double board format in the future, with some of the larger multi-Allied historical battles as well like Austerlitz and Leipzig. Yet another reason its a big deal for me is that I'm just now finishing up my 54mm painted figure Napoleonic armies, so I can mini out the scenarios contained herein. Still another reason its a big deal is that years ago I spent a weekend JodieCon Convention (after several months of online planning with about 25 players on the Russian side) playing General Prince Mikhail Larionovich Kutusov (I even grew huge sideburns for the event), the Russian commander at Borodino, at what was in some ways the highlight of my wargaming career! As the grand old man, I had to use binoculars from the rear command table to see the 25mm battlefields spread out in the ballroom before us, and send and receive messages about the conduct of the battle! So now I'll soon be back in Napoleonic Russia (there are 4 Borodino scenarios alone). Hooray! Last edited by chas; February 14th, 2013 at 08:36 PM. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
With as many games as I have, I shouldn't be playing anything more than two weeks in a row anyway. Smash Up is coming back next week, though!
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Unfortunately because Star Wars Miniatures is random you won't know what you'll get. Which base set is it that you are getting or have gotten? I personally, liked the Jedi Academy but that might be because it has ones from each era and has lots of force users.
"They are too numerous to fight. What shall we do?" "Fight anyway." "You can never defeat another if you know not how to defeat yourself." my tradelist |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
I just usually pick up a few of the commons on CSI here and there to push me over the $100 mark.
Does anybody have any advice on beating Yggdrasil. We have like a less than 20% win record overall I think. I just can't quite figure out what we're doing wrong. Usually I'm like man I think we're in good shape and then BOOM we lose. Maybe we just suck, but we beat Death Angel pretty consistently and that's supposed to be a pretty tough co-op game. Also hoping for the BGG store to restock the expansion for it soon. Dragon Dice - (the 2nd best game there is) Learn to Play! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h3q6...wujcr8vVf8e21G |

But if you meant Star Wars minis, then disregard the above, and pick some cheap commons through CSI or Miniature Market. You can also find some relatively cheap lots on Ebay. We just buy to add to our factions (my son likes Clones, and I like Jedi). |

Also, people are often reluctant to waste turns against the ice giants, failing to realize the immense benefit you gain when you complete a rune. Granted, I've only won 3 times in Yggdrasil out of the dozen or so times I've played, but all my losses always came down to 2-3 cards left in the "monster" deck. -------------------------------- On a side note, played a game of DC DBG and 51st State last night. Getting antsy for next week's TotalCon! It takes a revolution to begin evolution... www.myspace.com/theautimis - Check out the Heroscape inspired song, "Valhalla's On Fire" at this link!!!

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
I played two games of Heroscape with my son today, testing armies for Dad_Scaper's tournament next week-end. One of my armies was completely decimated, so it's back to the drawing board...
Tonight, we played a game of Space Hulk, Third Edition. My brother joined in, and he and my son split the Space Marines (TM) between them. It was another fun, tense game, but as usual, they all fell to the razor-sharp claws and gnashing teeth of the genestealers. I don't play this game enough. It is truly awesome. |
