No more log!

Marc-

I wasn't to thrilled to post it this weekend, but we were skunked.

Funny how you see them all of the time, then when you can actually hunt them, they're nowhere to be found. We didn't go out Saturday morning as it was raining however, so I don't know if the storm moving in Friday had anything to do with it....

Rather boring hunt if you ask me. Saw a coyote!

I'm finding it hard to concentrate on the mundane at my job while all of my mental focus is on the interview I have early tomorrow morning for a MUCH better job!

Yes. Whatever you do, don't think about War in the Pacific: Admiral's Edition. Pay no heed to the plight of your digital warriors in Australia, nor the pending annihlation of your fleet.

Oops-too much? [;)]

Seriously-good luck tomorrow, big guy. Knock 'em dead.

Good luck tomorrow. I am sure you will do fine.

Marc-

From talking with the guys than run a large outfitting business just south of town (They work here), they said Friday was horrible for them as well, and no one wanted to do anything Saturday with the storm, so I am not as down as I was.

It was the same up here. Though three brutal winters in a row hasn't helped.
So far a very mild winter 8 above right now and no snow (very, very rare) should help with the population. A lot of twins in the spring if the weather holds. Fingers crossed.

Good morning all. Had to set the alarm pretty much for the first time in 3 months. Off to work today.

Had to shave too. [8|]

Ah well, my preparation of turn 1 is going to slow down drastically.....
You mean to say that you STILL haven't got off your turn one yet? [:D][;)]

Sorry about the shaving bit, Major Mike...back to the grind, eh? [;)]

I wish I got that turn done. I'm really anxious to get the game going again.

Yeah, I'm back to "the grind". The only guy who knows my job is coming in on Thursday for a few hours. Then he's gone for a year. [:D] That's a great train up. Until then, I have nothing to do. And I'm the highest ranking guy there. It's hysterical. Wish I had a laptop.

Yup, the beard is history. [:(]

Gonna work on the turn more tonight. I hope to get it done this week.

I am thinking about getting WIF board game. Anyone have anything to say about this? I have seen some different (better) maps, and can't figure out the difference in version I guess. I understand this game board is massive, which isn't a problem. Planning on making everything a magnet..

Little bit lost and...
A little bit lonely
Little bit cold here
A little bit feared

But I hold on
And I
Feel strong
And I
Know that I can

Getting used to it
Lit the fuse to it
Like to know who I am

Been talking to myself forever, yeah
And how I wish I knew me better, yeah
Still sitting on a shelf and never
Never seen the sun shine brighter
And it feels like me
On a good day

And it feels like me
On a good day

I'm a little bit hemmed in
A little bit isolated
A little bit hopeful
A little bit cold

But I hold on
And I
Feel strong
And I
Know that I can

Getting used to it
Lit the fuse to it
Like to know who I am

Been talking to myself forever, yeah
And how I wish I knew me better, yeah
Still sitting on a shelf and never
Never seen the sun shine brighter...

And it feels like me
On a good day

jeffk3510, I played WIF 5th Edition in the mid 90's. Played with Ships in Flames (every WWII ship of heavy cruiser and higher), Planes in Flames, Asia in Flames and Africa in Flames add ons. The game was quite simply the best gaming experience I have ever had. The game is colourful (counters look great - NATO symbols for land, silhouettes for ships, and full colour camoflague silhouettes for the aircraft), is great fun, while giving each player (major power) a real feel for what that power was faced with historically (e.g. Commonwealth - large but hard pressed navy, small, but mobile army, some great aircraft and a billion fires to quell spread all over the globe). There are a few set rules to give an historical background to the game (e.g.Germany must invade Poland first turn, France and CW must then declare war on Germany etc) but apart from these and a few more, each game can take a myriad of paths. There are also loads of optional rules to suit.

Since I stopped playing - family, work and more importantly, space commitments, not a lack of love for the game - ADG brought out another version as well as a few more add ons. I must say I am no lover of the latest maps - a bit garish imo - but if I had the time and space, that would not stop me from playing again. I cannot wait for MWIF to come out - whenever that is - and just in case circumstances ever allow, I still have the latest version of the game and all add-ons in mint condition ready to be cut out and used!

I certainly recommend giving the game a go.
