Some pics from SoCal Wargamers meeting at Game Empire in Pasadena last Saturday. Bob and I played '1918 Storm in the West' followed by a few games of W1815. The main group played an incomplete game of 'Virgin Queen'. They then played 'Napoleonic Wars' 2nd edition. Nappy Wars was full of shenanigans.

Command and Colors games

Hello all, does anyone here play these? I use the Napoleonic dice for several homemade linear warfare rules and am working on a WW2 set with the Memoir44 series, and a Samurai set as well. I LOVE the battle dice!

SoCal Wargamers at Game Empire, Pasadena. 9th June 2018. A good crowd in a great FLGS. Games played included: Helsinki 1918, Wide Blue Yonder, Battlestar Galactica, John Company, Bottom of the 9th, Marvels Infinity War, and Flamme Rouge. A bit light on wargames this time. I was not a cylon.

RAF: The Battle of Britain 1940 Night raid tables

Hello, does anyone have a link for the Night Raid tables? I'm out of home for a few days and I meant to play on Vassal, but the tables are not included (and I can't find them on BGG).

Thank you.

The Marcher Lords

I recently had a chance to try out the old game, The Marcher Lords by Microgame Design Group. It is a game about the Norman conquest of Wales. It's simple enough for a beginner to learn, but I felt it was much too easy for the Welsh to win. I wrote a review about it here: https://centurionsreview.com/the-marcher-lords/the-marcher-lords-review/

Global War 1936-1945 (second edition)

I am an avid player of boardgames and my favorite type is war boardgames. I recently discovered this and thought I would head here to see if anyone owns it and their reactions to it and ask a few questions.

Has anyone bought and played this game and if so how was it?

Was the cost for the units and markers worth it?

What expansions do you see as a must have?

The Advanced Squad Leader killer is here!

Band of Brothers system from Worthington Games. Without a doubt better than ASL in all aspects. Faster, easier, more accurate, more playable, better components, better support, better community...more fun! https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamefamily/22797/band-brothers
