Even though most people are wargamers right now, I'm hoping to get people into other games.

It appears that even most of us that identify as wargamers play plenty of other games as well.

True, true.

Yeah, you're looking at a 2-week window starting from June 26, 2013. Just go to any user's 'Contributions' tab and you can see if they posted during that interval.

I was heavily addicted to 'Mount and Blade: Warband' a while back. That, and 'Gothic'.

Pax would be good! PM me.

Definitely. But I also don't think anymore that the controller was associated with Perfidious Albion. I now think that was a smokescreen on the part of the controller.

Thanks to Gog.com I reconnected with 'Operation:Flashpoint' a while back (the progenitor of ArmA - and the only version that will run smoothly on my feeble rig). I still think that the 'Resistance' expansion was outstanding.

They've been touring recently, and playing 'Metal Box' live.

Thanks Peter, I try, but I'm afraid that I'll finish third or something, it looks like Gregor will win.
maybe we can start a new game of PaxPorfiriana through Vassal? I'll send an email around..

Gregor was a shark, wasn't he? Another PBEM game of Pax would be great! We should get Sam (sxmpxr) into it too!  Smiley

Oh yeah. I also got glared at once by John Lydon. I dared to look bored at a PiL concert. This was back in '89 when they sucked.

I saw them around '86. They sucked then too.

Wish I'd seen them in '79/'80. They most definitely didn't suck then.

Aww, 'Album' was okay, especially 'Rise' and 'FFF'. But, yeah, the 'Metal Box' era is tops. Once Wobble and Levine were gone, it just wasn't the same.

add me to the list of calandale fans who had to come over and see what's up here.

I'm generally a lurker wherever i go (online and off), so I haven't had direct experience with bgg moderation, though most of the time i hear about someone being banned I can't really see why from what they've posted.


I've been playing games for about 8 years (after playing some back in high school). I came to wargames because I was interested in games with more complexity and breadth, not through an interest in history. I had gotten into Phil Eklund's games and that piqued my interest in games that simulate things, and wargames seemed like the next choice. SPQR was my first wargame. Then some other GBoH and MPBS. Then I heard about Here I Stand and Virgin Queen and COIN and others that deal with the economics and politics of war along with the warfare.


I'll just copy this for ease of use.
I noticed a link on BGG in Enrico's video list, looked it up and thought, hey what the hell let's join. I'm a relative newb when it comes to wargameing (hex 'n counter stuff) I played tons of warhammer but that's another thing entirely.

I recently got Blood & Roses, Wilderness War and Struggle for the Galactic Empire.

Welcome here! And don't forget to mention that you play a damned good game of 'Origins: How We Became Human'!  Wink
