Anyone here still play board war games like those sims produced in the 70s by Avalon Hill, SPI and GDW? I played a ton of those games in the mid- to late 70s and early 80s and always ponder about returning to that hobby. I would say 1/3rd of my collection are "war games" things have changed a bit s...

Let me know if you'd be interested some time in trying Vassal again and I'd be happy to skype and help. Doug I would for sure, what type of games do you like on their? Be happy to play a game of Band of Brothers. I'll be out of town for a couple of weeks but how about when I get back beginning of F...

3 Nights a week that is awesome. I've tried many times to play games via Vassal but that program is just s*** IMO. I know it's not good to talk bad about the "board game king Tom Vassal" but I wish someone did a better version. I've looked on tabletop simulator (although not in some time) for versi...

Bill's GM didn't know Rex Ryan was going to be fired and isn't sure why he was fired.

That's a real dumpster fire of an organization.

God iOS 10 is terrible with the idiotic implementation of airplay. If you rent or buy a video and want to play it through Apple TV you have to wait until the entire file downloads - you just can't start streaming and watching. And the two factor identification implementation is equally hideous. I pr...

Saw the film last night - actually thought it was a heck of a lot better than Force Awakens. I agree with Rob that the characters were paper thin but interestingly it felt more original than The Force Awakens. Bit jarring though seeing the end bit considering that Carrie Fisher died earlier in the d...

I think eventually you'll see head shots eliminated from the game - and yes the traditionalists will have to be dragged kicking and screaming to a more enlightened era. I think the catalyst will likely be the lawsuits like the one that has already been launched in professional football.

For those that didn't see the brouhaha in TOR on Saturday, these two questionable hits in the same shift is what made the game that was all but over, turn into a fighting mess. Glad Grapes agrees with me. Totally unnecessary blindside hit. People you don't understand hockey. 8) http://www.sportsnet...

The reaction of the 2 Cubs fans near where the home run ball landed said it all.

Wow!

Jays and Red Sox fans were thinking the same thing in the previous series against the Indians. Pretty much everything Francona has done has worked and nobody is able to consistently score runs against the Indians. Hell even the supposedly weak starters have gone in there and made the opposition batt...

Fat Sam resigns as Manager of the English National Team. https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2016/sep/28/sam-allardyce-leaves-england-job-latest-news-and-reaction-live The Football Association are a joke. As someone wrote now that they've failed with the bottom of the barrel candidate perhaps ...

Really enjoying a good laugh at David Squires football comics in the Guardian:

haven't had a football comic this enjoyable since the demise of Ormondroyd.

The English squad is a shower of s*** - from the Manager right through the entire squad. Not a quality player in the entire mix - a five alarm dumpster fire would look good in comparison. I was utterly baffled why Hodgson was kept on after their clueless World Cup campaign. A country that at least u...

It just seems that forces which arrive late into a battle, after two forces have slaughtered each other, would have an advantage. It'll be interesting to see if they planned it that way. Sansa said she didn't know about military strategy but told Jon not to do what Ramsey wants him to do. It could ...

I don't know if the Vale Calvary would have made the impact it did if it was available to Snow from the beginning. Ramsey would have waited to kill all the horses before unleashing the shields. Instead the Vale waited until all the other Calvary units were gone and they could demolish the shielded ...

That might be the dictionary definition of a Pyrrhic victory. Not sure why Sansa didn't tell John Snow that Littlefinger might arrive. This was dreadful, dreadful writing. There's nothing worse than making characters behave stupidly purely to set up a dramatic outcome. Did I mention how bad it was?...

Roll call might be a little thin tomorrow.

England only manage a draw against a truly wretched Russia, actually both teams look wretched. Can't they find a better central midfielder than Rooney? :lol: Doug Yep , Jack Wilshire. Who new he was still a footballer. Not as bad as you say though Doug. Dont get me started on the inclusion of that ...

Just a terrible game - is Garo Ypremian on either teams roster cause I keep getting flashbacks.

Toilet Bowl - pretty shitty game.
