Back around '74 when I was stationed in Germany I recall a friend writing me that while he was away in college his mother decided to clean house and THREW AWAY a bunch of his games!  Some were old SPI from when they first started publishing, some were Avalon Hill, and some others that you cant find. I was more pissed than him wishing I had been given a chance to buy them before they went to the trash can... [:(]

You guys reminded me of the time my mom walked into my room without knocking which of course could not have been at the worst possible moment.
I was playing my Iron Maiden record LP, and the first thing she heard was "6! 6! 6! The Number Of The Beast!"
Boy, did she freak! After she left the room, I looked around for a good hiding place when a flash of inspiration appeared!
my closet had 2 sliding doors, so the 2 sides were always facing each other. I got some duct tape, and taped that wonderful album to the inside of one of the closet doors so when my mom would open the closet the album was sandwiched in between the two doors! [:D]
I could tell she was looking for that album because when I came home from school my things were moved a little bit!
She never found that record! [:D]

Now CIV IV has me in it's evil clutches!

Awww, Mom's are great , who doesn't love their mother?
She loves you despite your faults and so should you, it's called unconditional love!
It doesn't make any sense, Admiral. Were we better than the Japanese or just luckier?

by the way ils, your post about Maiden has inspired me, despite the alcohol to spin up some of my all-time favorite bands music tonite!

Well at least my wife never did what my mother did to me once... classic wargamer's horror story: 6 days worth of setting up and playing Richard Berg's Gettysburg with two buddies of mine (remember that game?), and my mother one morning goes into my room and (casually) folds the map and all the counters and puts everything back in the box, cause "she badly needed to clean up that pigsty...!" I'll never forget what she said afterwards:"Just continue the game from where you left off! What's the big deal??.." [:@]

That brings back some bad memories.......

And what the heck goes on inside the cats brain that tells it that your wargame is a combination bed and play area ?

History began July 4th, 1776. Anything before that was a mistake.

There's no such thing as unconditional love, because unconditional IS a condition. ;)
WE/I WANT 1:1 or something even 1:2 death animations in the KOIOS PANZER COMMAND SERIES don't forget Erik! ;) and Floating Paratroopers We grew up with Minor, Marginal and Decisive victories why rock the boat with Marginal, Decisive and Legendary?

Yeah, I had to make an appointment with my mom for taking up table space for Star Fleet Battles. I'll never forget the look of confusion on my sister's faces when we used terms like "Turn radius" and allocation sheets"

That brings back memories of how much my mother hated my Slayer cds (and posters). She didn't try to toss them, so I never hid them but I never heard the end of how much she disliked them. I DID however have a gigantic porn stash hidden under my sock drawer, which amazingly my mom never found, although I'm farily sure my dad borrowed from it a few times [8D]
