Let’s Go Racin’ Boys!
It’s the start of the NASCAR season this weekend, so my plan is to run at least one SCRAM 2013 race on Sunday, and perhaps a couple more during the week.
I’ve said elsewhere that I want to play something more consistently, and Red White & Blue Racin’ is game that I can run a tabletop race in a reasonable amount of time, probably quicker than an average baseball simulation, and definitely much faster than a non-express soccer/hockey/football game simulation.
I have about 14 races left in the 2013 SCRAM season, which can be finished in a couple of months, if I can manage to run 2 races a week.
As for baseball, I believe I have about 64 games left in the 1971 SF Giants season, and more than that (90) in the 1921 NY Giants season. If I can finish one of those by the end of the year I’ll call it a big success.
That would require me to play about six 1971 games a month and/or nine 1921 games a month.
So those are my tabletop sports goals for the rest of 2025. We’ll see how much I can get accomplished.
Stay tuned!
1971: Giants Replay, Game 98
Changes
I simply have no time to play complete seasons of teams/seasons that I’ve purchased over the years, and it’s about time I admit that to myself.
Except for racing, since those are relatively short seasons.
But as far as baseball, I will play out the 1921 and 1971 Giants season replays over time.
As for everything else, I’ll be playing shorter seasons/projects going forward.
I’m looking at doing no more than 40 games per any given team/season, which should give me plenty of play between a team and the rest of the league.
Football will be ‘as the spirit moves me’, as in I’ll play when time allows and with whatever team/season I feel like playing at the moment. Though I’ll probably still try to play out Elway’s rookie season.
Hockey, soccer and basketball: same, when I feel like it.
Golf, tennis, wrestling, boxing: also the same.
So many games (sport and non-sport), so little time.
Stay tuned!
