CoM shines on VASSAL. In fact, the printed map gets a fair amount grief because of the dark drab Mahaffey palette, but on a monitor it is easy to read. A game takes several Friday nights to complete but that gives enjoyable time for reflection and thinking. I had a regular gaming partner for this one. But the warrior spirit descended upon me and I crushed him in back to back games, first as the Prussians/Brits, then... as the French/Austrian/Russians. He quit the game forever. This is a guy who never lost a game of PoG or UKC to me even once.

Are you willing to school another opponent? Can this be played easily as a PBeM type affair? Or are there too many interruptive actions played on an opponents turn?


Cheers

It is very interactive but it can be done. Best way is with email exchanges without files for interrupts, withdrawals, etc.

I don’t even have a PC anymore, so I’m afraid I cannot at this time. The youths in my house usurped my control of the family PC, nuked it, then built their own rigs. CoM over VASSAL is the only reason I would get a new one. It’s tempting!

Friend’s game store had a buy-two-get-one sale this past weekend, so I picked up a few good few handfuls of Harry Potter TCG packs from the first three sets.

I’ve been off random boosters since middle school, but they were fun to open especially as I had no idea what to expect. Didn’t pull any of the big three, but we did get three Draco Malfoys, one of them some weird holo thing that’s a strain to see. Looking forward to building a few decks for a light game with the wife after the boys go to bed.

I went with my sons to a mall here in Manila today, and we checked out a nice game store there. I had originally been on the lookout for Azul, which is exactly the kind of game my wife likes, and the kind of game I'll end up playing a lot here.

However, it was the first day that the new edition of Arkham Horror was available, and I thought long and hard about grabbing that instead. It looks like something I'd like, but I am overinvested in longish adventure games already. Jumping on what will surely be another expansion treadmill also sounded exhausting.

So I walked away with Azul. It'll be fun!

Finally, after making a home made copy of it years ago, got a dirt cheap FFG Nexus Ops.

Fell afoul of AH 3E today, and bit (now need more room on the Cthulhu shelves...).
And yesterday - after hearing Josh & Al wax poetic on the podcast - I put in a preorder for FoD 4E, to come compete with my well-aged copy of 3E.
