Prepare for Battle

Okay, so, the counters have been punched and cards sorted for both B-17 and Alexander games.

Awaiting the large box for Warfighter WWII, should arrive this week.

Re-reading the rules for X-Wing Miniatures for Games night this Saturday.

Reading the rules for Bataan!, Shadow War: Armageddon and a couple of other games.

Deciding to play the next series of games in either the 1917 or 1967 baseball replays.

Picking up Injustice 2 after work today.

Games overload in full effect!

Mouse

My wireless mouse appears to be crapping out on me, even after swapping out the batteries.

Currently have a wired mouse connected to the main PC.

It’s working fine, and to be honest I don’t think I’ll need to get a replacement, until this mouse craps out.

Wargames

At lunch yesterday Nelson mentioned that his son had asked if he’d been shown Wargames, starring Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy.

Nels said that he had, many years ago, but at the time his son found it slow and asked to watch something else.

I thought about it afterwards, and it had been a while since I had seen it.

I turned on the TV this morning, and guess what was on BBC America?

Soon

So here’s where I go way out of my wargaming comfort zone:

Should be delivered today, along with more counter storage trays.

Hey, if I like this one enough, I may get the Rommel, Napoleon, and Nimitz games as well.

Pepsi Leader

Behold, the Incom Z-95 Headhunter:

Comes with 4 pilots, plus the one I created: me
Sure, I could have used a Star Wars name, using one of the many ‘formulas’ to generate one…
… but seeing my actual name on a pilot card? Awesome.

edit: Damn, I have a crappy point-and-shoot camera.  My phone takes better pictures.  Didn’t have it with me in my bedroom when I opened this thing.

Pump the Brakes

Today’s overly obsessive moment almost resulted in me picking up an iPad 4 mini.

But I shook it off.
