I have a basement with a lockable door...

Now that sounds creepy.

I'm curious, how many folks here still play board strategy games. Most of us have kids, pets, or grand kids to cause all sorts of mayhem. I just can't see anyone over thirty having an unmolested table.

My PC is my table top nowadays.

For "Enemy at the Gates" I built a 4x8 table with a recessed top that I capped with a 4 section removable lid. When not playing the caps were in place which left the table as a useful place for laundry or crafts.

I kept all my board games, some are missing pieces after moving a dozen times. Every now and then I come across Star Fleet Battles chits in random drawers or boxes. The last board game I set up and played was in 2009, a solitaire Battle of Iwo Jima game that I think came out of an old issue of S&T.

Yeah, keeping my old board games in a damp basement the last decade hasn't been the best storage place. I did bring a few up a couple of years ago, but they are in boxes in a spare bedroom.

I subscribed to the new S&T and their WWII mag a couple of years ago when they had a sale on subscriptions, but got the magazines only and not the games. The last board games I bought were a few years ago at the annual gaming convention in town, where they held an auction. Neither game has gotten out of the box.

I have the room to setup a board game, but no desire to play anymore. I'm just too addicted to the computer. [:(]

Is there a lockable straitjacket in there too? [:D]

Did anyone play this monster game? My high school friend had a few modules, but we never played it:

I played 'Drang Nach Osten', upto and including Typhoon. Then WiF turned up so DNO was packed up and never saw the light of day again.[8|]

Never played board games.  But played what I am now call beer and pretzel strat games.  Now that I have met AE,  I am in love.  I hope that developers will continue to make games like this.

Man, that game is brutal. My map is worn out, I'll have to ask Nash if it's possible to order a new one.
