Boardgame Popularity

@Narvik:

Any gamer that want a dedicated gaming room need to stay singel and stay free. That is the only way. If you want company of women then goodbye boardgameroom and say hello to 5 kids, 2 cats, a big Husky, a Toyota family van and to spend the rest of your life at your day job to pay for all this. You dont argue with women, you will have to choose, either you do sports and games, or you commit 100 % to making a family. You can say goodbye to beer and fishing too, I know, been married 2 times.

Beer, fishing, and Axis and Allies all can be done while married. The key is moderation. I have trained my sons into Axis and Allies players. My wife has a three day kitchen table game law, game must be finished by three days. She wants her kitchen back.

The other key is not to engage in all three of them simultaneously.  Beer is compatible with either fishing or A&A, but fishing and A&A are hard to handle at the same time, at least as far as the physical boardgame is concerned.  Online A&A might be workable as a joint activity, however.

Aaahh but you can setup an A&A game on a pontoon boat while you drink beer and soak minnows for walleyes.
:-D :-D :-D :-D

And the gas grill is going too.

Picture of a boardgame back in the WWII area. Talk about dedicated gaming room, all over his basement floor, I guess this fellow dont mind his wife too much, man. He even dress in a military uniform when he plays, all to make it that more authentic.

I admire his commitment to realism, but that custom G40 map is way too low to the ground. Just looking at it makes my knees and back hurt!

Interesting, wonder why its not about 30 inches?  Perhaps it enables you to see the whole picture as to study whats going on and he uses a poker stick to indicate parts of it.

I never get any response to this, but a dedicated game group with a good secretary could meet, play for five, photograph the board, secretary comes home and creates a set-up sheet for next week’s game.  Voila.  Not only could you play “from that point on”, but you could replay a particularly tight game or pass it on for others to play in a sort of “what would you have done.”

In essence, you are creating your own '41 or '42 version.

that was kind of random.  sorry, a momentary lapse of reason.  Niagara Falls, slowly I turned . . . .

That is possible, but not very practical.  We do take pictures at the game break (sometimes 3 sessions to complete a game), but to reset the board at that point would take a ton of work–its difficult to capture the exact placement of units and chips from one perspective it takes 8-10 photos… and during the game, there are even more places that more stacks could go, so without a written guide there’d be alot of guesswork and making that written guide just to break down the game and reset it would take alot of work.

So much so, that it’d be easier to reset and start over or play a more basic setup/version or a shorter one like d-day and reserve G40 for long weekends and parties.
