It's been years since I spent time playing my Metagaming Microgames collection. Yesterday I broke out the classic CHITIN: I for a quick solo learning game to refresh my memory.
Age and a little nerve damage have made using these counters more difficult. Necessity may require using VASSAL for further plays, despite my desire to escape computers for my hobbies. #HexesForever

Our first get together in Pasadena of the #SoCalWargmers for 2024. The venue was Odyssey Games Pasadena. We had not been there is ages. This visit was effectively a re-tryout of the store as a venue.
We had prearranged to play Weimar: The fight for Democracy. More of that #boardgame in a mo.
Meanwhile Brian and Mark played two games of Combat Commander Pacific. Btw Mark is the designer of the upcoming CC:P Battle Pack 9 Island Hopping. It’s on p500 on GMT Games.

Good question?
For me it was… more unpainted minis than painted ones or spare copies of OOP #boardgames or… so many other reasons
What about you?

What's your unpopular wargaming opinion that gets the rest of the room riled up?
A gory action packed 7 turns of roasting flamethrowers, bombs chucked off buildings, heavy MG rate tears, berserk charges and counter berserk charges, multiple Banzai charges from different directions, IJA guys yielding swords surprised by Dare Death guys flashing bigger swords & DC heros bursting in and self detonating in living rooms.
Total . delicious . chaos .
#advancedsquadleader #HexesForever #wargames
Woke up early in the morning to Banzai charges, Berserker charges, Dare Death charges, 5 HtH CCs on the map, DC Heros self detonating, Leaders dropping DC's off rooftops, beautiful orange sprouts of flames from flamethrowers, ambushes, encirclements & infiltrations all on the streets of Shanghai!!!! IT'S GLORIOUS!!
You might well wake up on a Sunday morning, but you'd be hardpressed to wake up to a more epic one!! #advancesquadleader #wargaming #HexesForever #wargames
We are back to good old German vs Scottish combat this week. This time for hotel rooms at a resort. Seems apt for this time in the summer? #advancedsquadleader #wargaming #HexesForever #aar https://hongkongwargamer.com/2023/08/13/db127-grand-hotel-britannia-after-action-report-aar-advanced-squad-leader-scenario/
Combined arms! OBA! Fighter Bombers! Bocage!! TEN Panthers!!!!! An ABSOLUTELY Glorious Carnage of a game!!! #advancedsquadleader #wargaming #aar #hexesforever https://hongkongwargamer.com/2023/08/29/bfp25-from-villebaudon-to-valhalla-after-action-report-aar-advanced-squad-leader-scenario/
BFP25 From Villebaudon to Valhalla : looking to stuff up 10 Panthers in bocage country. Realising another level of play - not looking to kill but looking to delay at every turn. Baz can't kill Panthers but it can dictate its VCA. #advancedsquadleader #HexesForever #wargames #wargaming
BFP Peleliu (it ain't here yet, calm down bro ..) #advancedsquadleader #HexesForever #wargames #wargaming #BFP
Have you seen the Sugarloaf Hill map from BFP Bitterest Day? This design has been playtested forever and I am SO glad BFP is taking it up. #advancedsquadleader #HexesForever #wargames #wargaming #BFP
SmR04 end of Turn 5. The good news is we got WP on one of the HMG dual. The bad news is a Pershing X-d out it's 90L and is about to go off. That dang 82 MTR is still out.... the NK now has 25/40 CVP on the Marines!

MMP 2023 ASL/SK Production Schedule is OUT
I am especially excited about Contested Lands (1948 Arab Israel) - a Hershey design. JK & I spent numerous months playtesting this along with others! [The list is now corrected] #advancedsquadleader #wargaming #wargames #HexesForever #MMP
Played my first ASL game in the LUNAR NEW YEAR at 7am as well!! #advancedsquadleader #wargames #wargaming #HexesForever
JR Tracy is one of the better players in the ASL world. His reflections on #advancedsquadleader tactics is a recommended read #wargaming #wargames #HexesForever https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3011432/asl-school-hard-knocks
