In the picture I had unloaded a squad split between the stone building and woods. One of Kent's T-62s spotted and then killed one if the APCs before it had a chance to get off the road. The road going North-South leads directlt towards my exit point. It became apparent as the game progressed that Kent had it heavily guarded. </div><div><br></div><div>Use of light and medium anti-tank weapons from buildings is limited by the composition if the building (wood, stone, concrete) and the number of doors and windows (accessible hexsides) the building has.

People who came up to us asking about it said it sounded like extreme Battleship on land.</div><div><br></div><div>The picture posted was taken at the end of turn 1. My goal is to defend the exit megahexes of 1G, 1H, and 1I and/or to try to exit undemoralized platoons off the map at any of the megahexes 0A, 9B, or 0C. The last time we played I did not try to exit any of my platoons. This time I decided from the start to attempt to exit my tank platoon off the map.</div><div><br></div><div>Rather than take the obvious most direct route I decide I will go around the right side of the map and then cut across the top of the map to the exit points.

Earlier in the game we gave away 1VP when we over bid on Covert Aid and we would do it again later in the game. That is 2 free VPs for the other side! That got me to thinking in the future, if my Alliance is leading in VPs, it may be best to bid zero the majority of the time and one sometimes for Covert Aid.</p> <p dir="ltr">Pros:<br> 1. You are playing with the lead so probably have a good position and do not need aid as much as the other Alliance.<br> 2. The other Alliance needs more help than you so may be willing to surrender VPs in the short term to build up their strength hoping to catch up with you eventually.</p> <p dir="ltr">Cons:<br> 1. You will not get any Equipment if your Alliance always bids zero or minimal equipment if you bid one.<br> 2. Your opponents will, depending how willing they are to give up VPs, get more Equipment than you. This may eventuallt tip the advantage to their favor.</p> <p dir="ltr">Since the VP differential seems to be tight in the couple of games we have played so far, I think if you can get a good lead it is best not to give it away during the Covert Aid phase by your Alliance bidding zero most of the time.</p> Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02562791527006620572noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481894587161300402.post-71343375182750412242013-08-01T07:45:00.001-06:002013-08-01T07:45:05.033-06:00ANGOLA!<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwNSFSy6e-HgSmkxQZGNCDs7BaLC46VB6b6RLESC5tDVJKaJ6I2bF7pjb8BOsJBW_mVfqOR0GSkD28_W8OL5xOOellcfjeN4dMaGW0EJVgw10Cqb7IRe8iA8QPNMcv38iY2SwpgGCdbTs/s1600/20130727_172154-705034.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwNSFSy6e-HgSmkxQZGNCDs7BaLC46VB6b6RLESC5tDVJKaJ6I2bF7pjb8BOsJBW_mVfqOR0GSkD28_W8OL5xOOellcfjeN4dMaGW0EJVgw10Cqb7IRe8iA8QPNMcv38iY2SwpgGCdbTs/s320/20130727_172154-705034.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5907146429446245362" /></a></p><p dir="ltr">Ok, so what did I play at gameday you ask? "Angola!", with Nevin, Kent, and Steven. We decided from the start to play 8 turns as we know the game can run on the long side. The picture is of the end of the game. The Communist backed Alliance (FAPLA red chits played by me and the MPLA yellow chits played by Nevin) won by 1 VP. It was very close and could have easily ended in a draw or victory for the other side.</p> <p dir="ltr">Nevin held on to Cabinda eventhough Steven (FPLA) made a concerted effort to take it. We managed to hold the middle third of the map feom the coast to the edge of the fluorescent light glare in the picture. On the last turn, the UNITA faction, Kent, went for the weakly defended towns in the Eastern part of the map.</p> <p dir="ltr">The two most important battles on the last turn were for Cabinda and Benguela. Benguela fell to the UNITA faction on their portion of the turn but the FAPLA managed to take it back on their turn.</p> <p dir="ltr">This is a very fun game with the only downside being the length of time to play.</p> Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02562791527006620572noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481894587161300402.post-57888411548430521542013-07-31T11:34:00.001-06:002013-07-31T11:34:59.320-06:00Again more gameday pictures for July 27 2013<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi44-ZBrTxDP84F5_rooRySakvdXcSch1naZ0CKFgB6iOOk5pVjfKiE76CEGfc7vnUQpaOSyjm6d3QwnqsqfFoRyxlZR36xpG9Lxmd4bogcuWT9bqnt6r4WifADnPnIvVcrTCZuJflUkNw/s1600/20130727_122359-799321.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi44-ZBrTxDP84F5_rooRySakvdXcSch1naZ0CKFgB6iOOk5pVjfKiE76CEGfc7vnUQpaOSyjm6d3QwnqsqfFoRyxlZR36xpG9Lxmd4bogcuWT9bqnt6r4WifADnPnIvVcrTCZuJflUkNw/s320/20130727_122359-799321.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5906834593587035058" /></a></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY7GOFxXZ32Qb1I2BOu9flRKM6mw2smRWcwX3MU3yV_jK1y-f_qhOa-HAnmuGM2thTokNlC0YYEc6LMgHFVaL4U3wPktB969kSCCMVmZeUW_Wr9PWGhYNKYVt-PrOioeWGG2yVfwm0QHw/s1600/20130727_122421-702813.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY7GOFxXZ32Qb1I2BOu9flRKM6mw2smRWcwX3MU3yV_jK1y-f_qhOa-HAnmuGM2thTokNlC0YYEc6LMgHFVaL4U3wPktB969kSCCMVmZeUW_Wr9PWGhYNKYVt-PrOioeWGG2yVfwm0QHw/s320/20130727_122421-702813.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5906834606239983762" /></a></p><p dir="ltr">"Napoleon in Europe" with Mark W, Troy, and Mark B.</p> Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02562791527006620572noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481894587161300402.post-58060259414972345652013-07-31T09:09:00.001-06:002013-07-31T09:09:39.726-06:00More Gameday Pictures July 27 2013<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjgtcr5LDzdh7BPhDUo3tapgzbS_BRcIVbdLqdrsIsa1q9TttZBWG4w58hY09_iRKXxaYQ9VrU2zKTYpp9ozlxwmwNqVW371J1YsftG91jOgpcmPF5g5Bbz7jTQziZd4etsupDy5uzpIg/s1600/20130727_120812-779727.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjgtcr5LDzdh7BPhDUo3tapgzbS_BRcIVbdLqdrsIsa1q9TttZBWG4w58hY09_iRKXxaYQ9VrU2zKTYpp9ozlxwmwNqVW371J1YsftG91jOgpcmPF5g5Bbz7jTQziZd4etsupDy5uzpIg/s320/20130727_120812-779727.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5906797142502937090" /></a></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLFYw7odvIpFJ8mCEHsup0kl2ZYv7-AfAqRS6nOpTqGxZEEtuU_3sMDdh_XixADhD16bEa3xxIT6v00zGKQmCjXxFI49N_v55nPH7ZqHnhQmkPnvbusFrY8L2bBScS7IxkIdtIWQ5RQbk/s1600/20130727_120854-782522.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLFYw7odvIpFJ8mCEHsup0kl2ZYv7-AfAqRS6nOpTqGxZEEtuU_3sMDdh_XixADhD16bEa3xxIT6v00zGKQmCjXxFI49N_v55nPH7ZqHnhQmkPnvbusFrY8L2bBScS7IxkIdtIWQ5RQbk/s320/20130727_120854-782522.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5906797156327093394" /></a></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja34asypGeQFV7OOdM1oqUipQqHwtB5vCTT5HNNxOxp9dOaiaqbvFibdYTsrqK8g_e6zUYPAsUeg0iBifSnOrU-hU7GzNSQVETOcCcPNorduJ_W5iFvrMYB6HMnbdYcSzPwic-i1UXVkA/s1600/20130727_111131-785999.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja34asypGeQFV7OOdM1oqUipQqHwtB5vCTT5HNNxOxp9dOaiaqbvFibdYTsrqK8g_e6zUYPAsUeg0iBifSnOrU-hU7GzNSQVETOcCcPNorduJ_W5iFvrMYB6HMnbdYcSzPwic-i1UXVkA/s320/20130727_111131-785999.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5906797167275572722" /></a></p><p dir="ltr">Sandra and James - "Star Trek: Fleet Captains";

When you think Comic and Game store you usually expect a small and cramped location. This place is the total opposite. The owner Chris has made this the premier location, my opinion, in DFW for gaming and shopping for games.</p> <p dir="ltr">We had about 18 people, with some first timers, show up around 10 am. After some meet and greet it was time to set up the games. In the picture, working from foreground to background, we have Angola!, Star Trek: Fleet Captains, The Guns of Gettysburg, and Commands and Colors: Ancients Epic. Also played but not in the picture are A Few Acres of Snow and Napoleon in Europe. </p> <p dir="ltr">It was a great turnout. Our next game day is on August 24th at the same locale.</p> Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02562791527006620572noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481894587161300402.post-2975086679124198652013-07-31T07:36:00.001-06:002013-07-31T07:36:58.696-06:00Test Post<div>It has been a while since I last posted.

High Frontier is one of those games. I don't know what it is, maybe my engineering background or interest in Sci-Fi and science in general but the game just fascinates me. I bought the game and expansion at BGG Con 2010 just based on the few things I had read about it on BGG.<div><br />
</div><div>After playing the game a few times I wanted to contribute so I downloaded the VASSAL module for it on the High Frontier Yahoo Group and added to it. Hopefully my additions helped to make the module better.<br />

We had a game day at Madness Games & Comics in Plano, TX.<br />
<div>It was a good turn out for the game group, ~23 people showed up for gaming.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I played a 4-player game of Friedrich (as Prussia) and Russia managed to win during Turn 13.</div><div><img alt="IMG_9200.JPG" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcVItE22UqU1uBqzd9vsgNAKqpEWnJXRZHfT_39c9lPJeussH785pIBURXxk8C1omlG46i3EcVGdmI0SBRNjsBsSToJBvNBfQIRH2otyq-LYrKVLX_XkAhFvlSYJpTtI2xAFPAPnjKzzw/s400/IMG_9200.JPG" title="IMG_9200.JPG" /></div><div><br />
</div><div>We then played a 4-player game of Battle for Baghdad and the US player won by satisfying </div><div>his special victory conditions.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I like both of these games but thought Battle for Baghdad dragged a little longer than I would have liked. It may</div><div>have been because I had brain burn from playing Prussia in Friedrich!</div>Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02562791527006620572noreply@blogger.com0
