When I'm not playing Axis and Allies…

Well “back in my day”, growing up as a teen/young-adult in the 1980s, we didn’t have much in the way of computer games.  Back then every game was a board game of some type for the most part, and while I did play extensively the more “grognard” hard-core board wargames like just about everything from Avalon Hill and SPI, and Axis and Allies was just another game I got into in my youth which was simpler to play with my friends.  There was always something “beer and pretzels” about Axis and Allies back in the 1980s that to this day still attracts me to the game.  I’ve recollected (is that a word) and customized my current 2nd-Edition version of the game, and spent quite a bit on extra units, printed game-boards and the like… all with few people to play against, but it’s part game, part collectible, and its fun either way.

I’m happy to hear Mr. Bear is all well!!!

They don’t make donkey shows like they used to anymores in TJ.  Thats why now I only go to Panda shows.  Sometimes it gets difficult cause the Panda bear doesnt want to co-operate, but when it gets started……its hawt.  8-)

I just finished reading the abridged memoirs of Winston Churchill, covering WWII of course. It was new for me to get the British perspective, and very informative.

Also, A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin.

For those about to read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich- excellent book- I’ve read it twice. You won’t be disappointed.

artillery…king of battle. and death from afar

Still a good pic though! Now if they could show his cabinet as the the RING WRAITHS that would be cool!

USA does pays its dues. Maybe not always on time, but does every country in the UN manage to pay on time?

I really enjoy the open source version of A&A!
