I lost my Magic Eight Ball. I’m not sure how I feel about that. Frank, a gamer friend of Walt’s, was interested in trying ASL. Never one to shirk from a challenge, Walt decided that the perfect introductory ASL scenario was He Who Hesitates, an almost all armor desert scenario. Talk about...

I have come up with a new parenting technique to deal with the kids fighting. I just hand each of them a taser, and let them sort it out. I have used this same technique with squabbling kids I don't even know at WalMart. What can I say? I'm a results-oriented person... Gunny and I played The...

It was a nice day, so I took the boys fishing: Walt and I played Frying For Danzig. City fight, with less than stellar German defenders vs. 628s, 527s, ISU-122s, OT-34s, and two FTs. So there is the potential for 4 FT shots per player turn. The Germans do get an 88LL AT, two okay leaders, and...

My wife cashed in part of her IRA. She found out what they meant when they said “Severe penalties for early withdrawal.” Walt wanted to go into the desert on a horse with no name, and picked The Sooner The Better. He wanted to be Australian – but, then, who doesn’t??? Aussies need 40 more...

To help keep the children safe from Covid, we sent them to a boarding school on a remote mountaintop in Montenegro. Sure, they complain now, but in 40 years or so, they will look back on the experience as being the Best Days Of Their Lives. Or not. I’ll be dead by then, so I won’t care. Walt...

Walt and I played Your Turn Now, where he commanded the less than heroic military police defending Cebu City in the Philippines. They are 336s, as apparently their main duties consist of breaking up cockfights and intervening in disputes between prostitutes and their clients regarding what a...

Gunny Thompson and I were finally able to get together to play a couple games. Scheduling conflicts have prevented us from meeting. Specifically, my unique talents and skill at making license plates were requested by the Nevada Board of Corrections, for an extended term of service. I told him...

“Come listen to my story ‘bout a serf named Zed. Poor Bolshevik; barely kept his family fed. Then one day he was shootin’ at a Kraut And up from the ground stuff came bubblin’ out. Oil, that is. Black gold. Tuapse Tea…” The similarities to ‘Beverly Hillbillies’ end there, however. Zed’s oil...

Two weeks ago was Giving Tuesday. Let me just say how utterly disappointed I am in you all, as you gave me nothing. NOTHING. Luckily for you, Crimmas is just around the corner, so you still have time to make amends. A gift certificate to the Happy Time Massage Parlor (behind the pool hall)...

In this era of social distancing, Thanksgiving gatherings will be smaller this year, as people get together only with those that they truly love. My wife says she will be spending the holiday with Brant the pool boy. Don’t forget to serve vodka and cranberry juice – the preferred cocktail of...

The election is almost upon us, and charges and countercharges are being flung back and forth in print and on the airwaves. In the future, some candidate is going to run on a ‘No Fat Chicks’ and ‘Faster Download Speeds For Porn’ platform. My prediction is that he or she will do well. Walt and...

Wuz playing someone a couple weeks ago, and jumped a stack of concealment counters. He sez he gets to roll for Ambush - if he wins, he can withdraw. Didn't sound right, but I could not find anything in the rules to contradict it. Because there isn't anything there. He wuz wrong, but the only...
