Obviously, I've been really busy, but I swear I'm not done blogging yet! I won't get into all the various things that are keeping me away from the computer here (you can look on my other blog for that, it's not very interesting though, I promise).
The important thing is that I'm going to try to blog more.
I don't know if I'll ever get my various battle reports up from PrezCon, mainly because it's been so long now that my memory faded. We ended up leaving from it early, but still got a few other games in that I haven't posted about: Imperium and Triumph of Chaos come to mind immediately. Man, Triumph of Chaos has potential to be a fantastic game, but it's going to have to be one I'll need to own to play it effectively. I need to actually study a few of the parts of the game to see why I would want to do certain things, or to see the penalties from playing certain cards, etc. One day.
Upon coming home from PrezCon, I broke out (at the time) ATO's newest issue: The Lash of the Turk. Played one of the scenarios solo. I really like the overall flow and rules of the game, but it needed some errata (for instance, the setup was completely screwy). Also, the siege rules are bit peculiar. It's one of those eras of history that doesn't seem to get enough games covering though, so I'm definitely going to give it some slack. Again, maybe someday I'll post pictures and a report of that game. More likely, however, is that when I play it again, I'll post THAT.
Rob and I have been playing occasional games of Combat Commander. We've been eyeing the Stalingrad campaign game, so maybe in another few weeks we'll do that. Combat Commander is a blast, but I swear that has to be the most complicated game in existence.
I still do my ASL playtesting when I have time to. I won't say I'm decent yet, but I'm certainly getting better at playing. Every time I play it, I'm just reminded how great a game it is. I have dreams of playing a lot of the scenarios solo (and even grander dreams of running some of those massive Valor of the Guards scenarios *drool), but it won't be for a bit.
Regardless, I'm sure I wasn't missed much, but I'll be coming back with some new posts, I promise. I've been trying to tackle Fields of Fire lately, so I suspect there will be some posts on that coming up soon.
See you guys soon!
