Level Up
Just as good as the AdapTableTop.
Though it’s weird that it’s a bit curved when connected.
The center legs float unless something heavier is placed atop the surface.
This is the same size as the AdapTableTop (2′ x 3′) though I have parts to make a 3′ x 4′ playing surface, which should be more than enough real estate for any game I play, except Star Wars Legion (calls for a 3′ x 6′ play area).
AdapTableTop
This appears to work as well as the StageTop table.
Way less setup and take down time.
The StageTop option certainly looked nicer, but in the end it’s all about usability, which the AdapTableTop has more of, to be totally honest.
The rails on the StageTop looked great, but really served no purpose, other than looking cool. With AdapTableTop I can have stuff hanging off the edges, like a clipboard or APBA game book, which the rails prevent.
I’ll probably set up the Level Up from Spidermind Games at some point to see how that looks/works.
Stay tuned!

Despite a DNF (cooling system), Wayne Montana maintains the points lead.

1971: Giants Replay, Game 79
On Deck: Week of August 20th
Here Comes the Fog!
The San Francisco Fog was a Major Indoor Soccer League franchise which existed for only one season, 1980–1981.
– From Wikipedia
I picked up this shirt from American Retro Apparel, and it sent me on a search for a print-and-play tabletop indoor soccer game that I remember picking up a few years back.
I couldn’t find my printed copy, so I’m going to have to print a new copy of it.
I then went on a search for the schedule for the Fog’s 1980-81 season, to no avail.
So now I figure I’m just going to create a short schedule for the season and play it out with all the teams, not just the Fog.
No idea when this is going to get started.
Stay tuned!

- Vince Moore of the #22 Time Masters Chevy was injured during qualifying and could not race, he should be back for qualifying in the next race.
- Phil Clooney of the #49 Wayne Enterprises Toyota was hit with sanctions and a 5-point penalty for rules violations.

2018-19: UEFA Champions League
I recently acquired a set of teams for APBA Soccer for the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League. Instead of replaying the actual schedule, I decided to have an alternate draw for the Round of 16.
Borussia Dortmund v. Roma
Barcelona v. Schalke 04
Paris-Saint Germain v. Athletico Madrid
Porto v. Liverpool
Bayern Munich v. Tottenham Hotspur
Manchester City v. Lyon
Real Madrid v. Ajax
Juventus v. Manchester United
Not sure when I’ll start this one, but the match ups should be interesting.
Stay tuned!
