Battlegroup
It's not often I head into the north end of the city, but I braved the rush hour trip up the 404 last night to head into Thornhill and meet a few other war gamers from the T.A.B.S. group. David B. was hosting this time, as well as cooking us fellow gamers a great dinner. Mmm...
Sorry; I drifted there for a second.
Anyway, Chris N., who I met a couple of weeks ago during the La Citta game, was there. Bill was the other player for the game we were playing, a card-based WW2 naval warfare game called Battlegroup from Lost Battalion Games. As we were playing our first round, another T.A.B.S. member dropped by. Pete didn't join in on the Battlegroup fun, but instead chatted with us as he cut out the counters for his newly-acquired Advanced Squad Leader Starter Kit #2. Now that the second ASLSK is out, I'd better start thinking about grabbing the first one. I think it's a three-part set, and I don't want to get left behind. ;)
To sum up, Battlegroup was fun, but I'm as dumb as a retarded monkey when it comes to naval warfare. I kept getting the order of actions mixed up. I also kept forgetting what a couple of the acronyms stood for. I guess I'm just not enough of a military geek or something. :-/
