Happy Birthday, Mom. Miss you.
New Gadgets
I’d been waiting all month for the opportunity to upgrade my phone. My lease was up at the end of the month, and I was waiting for them to tell me that I could upgrade without paying off the rest of the lease on the phone.
Which finally was today.

B-17 Games: QotS vs. FFL
Comparison of the base games:
The main difference is, while Queen of the Skies focuses on 1 bomber, Flying Fortress Leader focuses on 1 or more bomber groups/squadrons, so the game play is more abstract.
There are rules for single-bomber play in FFL, but I haven’t gotten to those rules yet.
Each has it’s own mechanic for encounters on the way to the target, and somewhat similar procedures for fighters and flak, and bombing the target. Many of the game mechanics from the other DVG Leader-series games are present in FFL.
Each is fun, in it’s own way. It depends on what one wants out of the game experience, overall command of the mission/campaign, or the results of your own bomber crew during those missions/campaigns.
I’ll probably play a couple more practice missions before embarking on a full campaign.
And I’ll probably try Target for Today before I get to that full campaign.

New Figure
The GI Joe Collector’s Club incentive figure arrived, and his accessory set is on it’s way.
This is the Man of Mysteries, or the Arcane Adventurer. He has a glow-in-the-dark katana, and the other gear and outfit pictured.
He came dressed like this:
This is the accessory set:
So, what’s a good name for an Arcane Adventurer, similar to Constantine or Kolchak or Mulder?
