Replay Review

Posted on by

I looked over what I had been playing last year, and I found a couple of replays that I started but never continued, like the 1936 World Series.

I’ll get to that one soon.  Heck, I set up a Google Sheet to replay the New Giants 1936 season before I realized that I had played game one of the World Series.  So I may do both, backwards, finishing the 1936 World Series and then replaying the Giants 1936 season.

As if I didn’t have enough replays started already.

Incidentally, I also set up the San Francisco Giants 1980 season replay in Google Sheets as well.  For reasons.

Stay tuned!

Vulcans? In Birmingham?

Posted on by

I was browsing a site selling t-shirts of defunct sports teams, and learned that there was a team in the World Football League called the Birmingham Vulcans.

So of course I looked for the team in any team sets available for games that I play.

I learned that they played for one season, or rather part of a season before the league folded.

They were the team with the best record when the league ceased operations, so a bunch of sports writers declared them the champions of that shortened season.



I may replay the entire season, or just the games that were never played.

Stay tuned!

There’s yet another variant called Blood Bowl Sevens, with 7 per side and a smaller pitch.

BB 2020

Posted on by

Blood Bowl 2020 or Second Season Edition should arrive sometime this week.

I thought Blitz Bowl would scratch this itch, especially solitaire.  But then I was trying to figure out if it was worth getting a full Blood Bowl team box if I were to only use half the miniatures for Blitz Bowl, which I was considering doing for either an elf team or a lizardman team.

Finally getting around to reading some reviews and watching some unboxing videos got me interested enough in picking up this new version.

Unboxing pics will be posted soon.  Along with pics of the soon to arrive lizardman team.

And I may actually paint these figures, finally.

Stay tuned!

1960 SCRAM Series, Revised

Posted on by

I’ve expanded the 1960 SCRAM Racing Series from 19 races to 29 races, doubling up on the non-road course tracks, and adding PLAAY.com sponsorship to the event names.

My plans are to run this and two other racing series (1984 NASCAR, 2016 SCRAM) in my unscheduled sports gaming replay rotation, which seems to have settled on baseball (1921/1971 Giants), soccer (2011-12 Spurs), auto racing, and hockey (1966-67 Maple Leafs).  I don’t have the patience or interest in basketball or football at the moment, but that may change as the year goes on.

I may even dip into a few more neglected games/replays.

Stay tuned!
